A lot has been written and said about the timeless Hell In A Cell war Mick Foley and The Undertaker worked at King Of The Ring 1998. Everyone out there knows by now that Mick was borderline unconscious after the bigger bumps, and that he wasn't supposed to crash through the top of the structure on a chokeslam spot.

Both 'Taker and Mick only realised what they were in for when they scaled the cage right at the start of the match though. The WWF's experts hadn't figured on anybody walking around on top of HIAC, so they held panels in place with basic cable ties. Those ties kept snapping under the weight of both wrestlers, which is a ghastly thought.

They could've fallen through at any moment. Given that they'd been horrified and had to walk gingerly across the top lest they fall through, it's surprising that 'Taker and Foley thought those cable ties would withstand Mick's full weight on the chokeslam. He was always coming through that thing, let's be real. Top-tier engineering!
