Undertaker. Mankind. Hell in a Cell. King of the Ring 1998. You know what happens next...

But, because there's a word quota for these lists, let's discuss in more detail one of the most famous wrestling matches of all time.

In only the third Cell match ever, 'Taker and Mankind started things hot when they scaled to the top of the cage before the bell had even rung.

Don't worry, they soon came back down, although one of them came down much faster than the other.

In perhaps the defining pro wrestling image, The Undertaker hurtled Mick Foley almost 20 feet off the top of the Cell, sending him crashing through the announce table.

The incident drew one of the most infamous lines of commentary in WWE history, when Jim Ross announced "Good God Almighty! They've killed him!"

And then - because Mick is made of tank armour and dark magic - Mrs. Foley's Battered Baby Boy climbed back up the Cell... only to be chucked off it again, this time when a Chokeslam collapsed the roof and sent Mankind's tooth up his nose.

It's one of the most brutal, scary, and historic matches in pro wrestling history and The Undertaker was front and centre.
