7 Classic WWE Moments That Haven't Aged Well

4. The Undertaker Hangs Big Boss Man

Rounding out the murderous antics for this list are The Undertaker and Big Boss Man at WrestleMania XV.

Undoubtedly one of the worst Hell In A Cell matches to ever take place, 'Taker vs. Boss Man is more memorable for what happened afterwards. The "Lord Of Darkness" decided he'd had enough of horrible opponents for one lifetime, tied a noose around Boss Man's neck and watched as his body flailed helplessly before losing consciousness.

Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler tried gamely to sell the preposterous gimmick on commentary, and the insinuation was clear: The Undertaker had murdered Big Boss Man on the grandest stage his employers could provide. This was Attitude Era nonsense at its finest, and things only got worse.

Soon after being "hanged to death", Boss Man returned without a scratch. He'd miraculously survived the barbaric ritual. Even so, this is one of those moments parents across the land may want to block young children from viewing when they fire up the Network to catch some "classic" WWE action.
