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.
