15 years ago Mankind
and the Undertaker faced off in one of the most memorable and brutal wrestling
matches of all time.
Fifteen years is a
long time. For those around the right age, the card for the June 28, 1998 King
of the Ring PPV will make you feel old: the Headbangers vs. Kaientai, Brian
Christopher and Scott Taylor vs. Al Snow and Head, X-Pac vs. Owen Hart. The
Pittsburgh Civic Arena was demolished last year. And yet the Hell in a Cell
match, which wasn't even the main event, still holds up as the ideal of what
wrestling is capable of—making you actually fear for the competitors.
