7. 2008 – Undertaker Vs. Edge
It might seem like a distant memory, but a decade ago, The Undertaker was putting on some quality matches at regular PPVs not held in 60,000-seat arenas. Witness 2008 SummerSlam’s Hell in a Cell against Edge.
The Rated-R Superstar and the Deadman engaged in a fierce battle that also involved tables, ladders and chairs – and given Edge’s participation in the match, was it really a surprise? They beat each other down using everything at their disposal, including a camera, only for 'Taker to spear Edge, hit a con-chair-to and end the match with a Tombstone Piledriver. Now that is how to definitively win a feud.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t quite the end, as Undertaker decided to chokeslam Edge off a ladder and through the ring. 'Taker then used his supernatural powers to cause fire to burst from the hole in the ring, taking away from the seriousness of the victory and causing fans to focus more on the campy nature of the PPV’s end. Still, it was a pretty good match.
