And today is the 25th anniversary of the match between Mankind (Mick Foley) and The Undertaker (Mark Calaway) in which The Undertaker threw Mankind 22 feet into an announcer’s table at the WWF “Hell in a Cell” match.
That was, to say the least, one hell of a stunt performed by Foley and he did suffer several real injuries as a result. Frankly, he’s damned lucky he wasn’t killed. Sure, these guys are basically professional stuntmen, but even so, it’s all too easy for a stunt like that to go horribly wrong, no matter how well it’s been planned or rehearsed.
