4. Cactus Jack Takes A Back Drop Through The Cage
http://youtu.be/D-wtqG8uHvs Mick Foley put his career on the line against Triple H at the February 2000 PPV called No Way Out. Hunter was WWE Champion and they had an amazing match one month earlier, so they decided to settle things inside Hell in a Cell. With Foley adopting the Cactus Jack persona for the match, there were promises of violence and fans expected a huge bump from Jack as well. They got it. They used some creativity to break open the cage using steel steps, and then they went up top. Jack's arm was cut and he was bleeding, but he still was aggressive while shots of both men's faces showed they were bleeding too. A 2x4 with barbed wire was on top of the cage and Jack lit it on fire: he got one shot to the face and set up for a piledriver that didn't work. Triple H hit a back body drop and Jack went through the cage, then he went crashing through the ring! Fans chanted "holy s**t" for it. Moments later, Hunter hit a Pedigree to win and Jack's career was over. Not really, but that was the idea. It was a bump similar to what Jack had done before in his career (we'll get to that), but not exactly the same. Plus, this time hey had gimmicked the ring so he was supposed to land in that spot and take the huge bump there. It was a crazy bump even with the padded landing. It's not easy to fall 20 feet without seeing where you're going, but he did it and it worked.
