7 Extreme WWE Hell In A Cell Moments You'll Never See Again

4. Tossed Of The Top Of The Cage

One of the most-played spots in WWE history is something you would expect to see from a stuntman: a man thrown off a 16-foot high structure and crashing through a table to the floor. The differences are that a stuntman would use a crash pad, and the man who actually took the fall went on to be a beloved character and best-selling author. And it all got jump-started with this spot 16 years ago. And it€™s a spot you most likely will never see again in a Hell in a Cell match. The cell, now 20 feet tall, could give just about any superstar Acrophobia (fear of heights). And let€™s face it, Mick Foley€™s plunge through the announce table was a dangerous and stupid spot, one he is extremely lucky to have walked away from. Even Rikishi€™s 2000 fall into a truck bed of woodchips is pretty risky, falling backward onto a target maybe six feet wide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S5KWQphRzw Those spots were a product of the Attitude Era and during the Monday Night Wars, when WWF(E) and WCW were trying to outdo each other on a weekly basis. Without a clear No. 2, there€™s no need for WWE to put their wrestlers through unnecessary risks like this.
