Ironically, I actually saw the cage fight where The Undertaker took out Mankind. I was visiting someone who was a big WWF fan and they had it playing.

Non-scripted fighting? Can’t say I’ve ever watched that.

Widely regarded as one of the best wrestling matches of all time.

It was definitely the peak of the genre.

If you look into that event, its not entirely as scripted as you think, which is partly why it was such a shocking event. Mankind did take a huge risk and I'd argue he very easily could have died.

You realize that undertaker and mankind in a cage doesn't exactly narrow it down.

I know which one you're talking about, but that was something they did a few times a year from 1996 to roughly 2001.

That match literally has its own Wikipedia page. Very much narrows it down.

That match even has it's own copypasta.

Even I, that live in Europe and have never seen a single cage match, knows about that one lol

The match where mankind was thrown off the top of the cage is by far the most famous match and regularly gets mentioned and memed about today.
