In this article, we look at five matches The Undertaker has popularized in WWE.
#5 Inferno Match – Kane and Undertaker
The brainchild of The Undertaker's manager, the late Paul Bearer, the first-ever Inferno Match took place between the kayfabe half-brothers, Kane and The Undertaker at Unforgiven 1998.
The ring was surrounded by fire and the superstars had to be careful about suffering actual burns. Kane and The Undertaker put on a stellar show as no one knew what to expect from this innovation. To see the flames go up when The Undertaker performed Old School was a sight to behold.
The Big Red Machine lost the bout as his older brother set his arm on fire.
The half-brothers fought again in an Inferno match on RAW in 1999 and, since then, there have been three more, with Kane being a part of two of them.
