Mankind vs. The Undertaker Pt. 1

Haunting music echoes throughout the arena… A fitting tune to set the tone for what is certain to be cruel and hellacious match… After all, this match is a Hell in a Cell match… Two men, one squared circle… Both encased inside a twenty-foot-high steel structure weighing over five tons!

Mankind’s music continues to play as he makes his way to the ring, hobbling and hunched in his familiar, curious strut… He’s dressed in brown wrestling tights and black boots… His tattered, oversized white dress shirt loosely hangs about his unique physique… A tie, badly tied, hangs about his neck… The whole look is brought together by his disturbing leather mask, from which his butchered, never-combed hair juts out in matted clumps that fall close to his shoulders… A bald patch above the man’s right ear reveals the remains of the horrors caused from a match sometime long before…

After grabbing a chair on his way to the ring the mad man mounts the cage… What is he doing here? Mankind is climbing to the top of the cage… Does he realize the match takes place inside the cell? He’s lost whatever mind he had left in that head of his! He tosses the collected chair to the top of the structure before finding his way to the top to stare toward the entrance ramp, ready for what is to come…

The sound of church bells and the entire arena goes dark… The Dead Man has arrived… The Undertaker’s theme begins to play as the Phenom slowly approaches the battlefield… He is wearing a sleeveless leather trench coat adorned with shoulder flairs and a chest piece decorated with steel studs arranged in a diamond pattern… His long black hair falls well past his shoulders…

The Phenom removes his entrance attire to reveal a black cutoff shirt and black wrestling tights with black accents of a different fabric on the sides… He is also wearing matching black elbow pads and fingered striking gloves, as well as high-cut black wrestling boots…

‘Taker nears the steel structure before staring up at his opponent who looks down upon him and paces back and forth…

The Undertaker is climbing the cell! He is going to meet Mankind atop this wicked steel structure!

Undertaker nearing the top of the cell… Mankind meets his opponent at the edge… He grabs ‘Taker’s hair… The two men slip! ‘Taker slides a foot or so down the chain-link siding of the structure… Mankind nearly loses his balance to topple forward off the cage…

The two men recover… Again, Mankind grabs ‘Taker by the hair… Undertaker takes a fist to the forehead… He nearly loses his grip… ‘Taker steadies himself… Finds footing on the support bar halfway up the cage… He grabs the top edge of the structure with both hands…

Mankind leans over the side of the structure to again bring his fists to the Undertaker… ‘Taker prepared… Mankind takes a big fist square in the face… ‘Taker jumps up to deliver a second punch… Mankind rolls away from the edge giving the Dead Man time to find his way to the top…

Both men on the top of this twenty-foot steel structure and on their feet… Mankind catches Undertaker with a right hand… Another right hand… ‘Taker staggers away… Mankind scoops up that steel chair he brought along with him…

And ‘Taker takes a chair shot square to the back!

Undertaker down on one knee… Mankind circles around his opponent… He brings the chair high above his head… And a brutal chair shot, far worse than the first, crashes down upon the ‘Taker’s spine…

Mankind tosses the weapon to the side… Undertaker slow to rise… Mankind carefully makes his way over to his downed opponent… The masked madman grabs ‘Taker by the head and pulls the Phenom to his feet, begins to lead him across the roof of this steel structure…

Oh my goodness! The chain-link has given ‘way under the combined weight of these two large men… They’re gonna fall through the structure to the ring below, likely snapping their spines in the process!

The two men manage to maneuver away from the compromised area of the construct… Mankind still has ‘Taker by the hair… He scoops up a chair as he makes his way along… Mankind… What’s he going for here?!

Mankind tries to DDT ‘Taker onto the chair but is stopped dead in his tracks by the Dead Man… ‘Taker with a big right hand to Mankind’s masked mug… Another… Another… A right hook… Mankind reels, not sure where he is… He notices how near the edge of the structure he has stumbled however! The masked man tries to turn and distance himself from that deadly threshold…

‘Taker right behind Mankind, lying in wait… The masked man in the tattered shirt doesn’t even get a chance to fully rotate his body… Undertaker grabs Mankind—his right hand with a fistful of that ill fit white shirt, and his left in the man’s hair to lead him by the skull…

Lord have mercy! Bless his soul! Is he still alive? He’s gotta be broken in half!

The Undertaker has thrown Mankind, Mrs. Foley’s baby boy, off the top of this twenty foot high steel structure and onto the announce table below!

The Hardcore Legend has survived a lot throughout his career… But this is sheer insanity! This is absolutely out of control! I don’t think we will ever see something like this happen again…

Mick Foley just might be dead folks…
