12. The Undertaker Wins A Hell In A Cell War - King Of The Ring 1998
Mankind has been one of The Undertaker's most persistent career adversaries, and the two have clashed on many occasions - but none of their bouts has become legend like their Hell in a Cell match at King of the Ring 1998. Following defeat at the hands of Steve Austin, Mankind aligned himself with Kane, putting him back in The Undertaker's sights. While Kane took on Austin for the WWE Championship at King of the Ring, Mankind and Kane met once more in a Hell in a Cell bout - only the second Pay-Per-View appearance of the stipulation. It would become one of the most infamous matches in WWE history. Mankind climbed on top of the enormous steel cage to start the match, and The Undertaker was more than happy to meet him there. Within moments, the Phenom tossed Mankind off the top of the cell and through the Spanish announcers' table, seemingly ending the bout before it began. When Mankind stirred, though, he climbed back up to the top of the cage. This time, Undertaker chokeslammed him through the steel mesh down to the ring below. Still, the bout didn't end - the two men battled in the ring, with Undertaker picking up the win after chokeslamming Mankind on thumbtacks and hitting him with a Tombstone piledriver.
