The Undertaker vs. Mankind – Hell in a Cell Match: King of the Ring 1998


The Hell in a Cell match between The Undertaker and Mankind at the King of the Ring 1998 is one of the most iconic and brutal bouts in WWE history. The feud between The Undertaker and Mankind, also known as Mick Foley, was driven by a fierce rivalry that had developed over the preceding months. Their conflict was fueled by intense personal animosity and a series of violent confrontations.

In the months leading up to the match, Mankind had been challenging The Undertaker, creating chaos and targeting him with brutal attacks. The feud intensified through a series of dramatic and violent encounters, including a memorable moment when Mankind threw The Undertaker off the top of the Hell in a Cell structure during their match at the King of the Ring. This moment is often cited as one of the most shocking and memorable in professional wrestling history.

During the match, which took place on June 28, 1998, at the King of the Ring pay-per-view event, The Undertaker and Mankind faced off inside the Hell in a Cell structure, a formidable steel cage designed to enclose the combatants and prevent interference. The match became infamous for its extreme and brutal nature. The Undertaker threw Mankind from the top of the cell through the announce table below, a fall that resulted in a severe injury for Foley but was celebrated as a testament to the wrestlers' toughness. The Undertaker then threw Mankind through the roof of the cell and continued the match, culminating in The Undertaker winning after a series of violent maneuvers. This match not only defined their feud but also left an indelible mark on wrestling history for its brutality and the resilience displayed by both wrestlers.
