6. Backdropping Cactus Jack Through A Cell - No Way Out 2000
To be fair, when one participates in a Hell in a Cell match with Mick Foley, one has to be willing to have few qualms when it comes to delivering (or receiving) a lot of punishment. With Foley's career and his own WWE Championship on the line, though, Triple H pushed past established barriers of mercy to retain the gold. Earlier in the match, Triple H knocked Mick Foley off of the side of the cage, sending him crashing through an announcers' table. That would be enough to take down your average bear, but not Foley, who managed to recover from the bump. The would-be deathblow came at the bout's conclusion, though, when Cactus Jack attempted to deliver a piledriver to The Game on top of the steel cage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qYc2HJTmsg Triple H reversed the move into a backdrop, and Foley crashed through the cage and down to the ring below, breaking through the boards under the canvas and lying in a hole, motionless.
