The Top 10 Best Cage Matches of All-Time

By Nick Paglino

5. The Rock vs Ken Shamrock vs Mick Foley (Breakdown 1998)

This was time of The Rock’s establishing as a babyface. It was right after his classic at Summerslam with Triple H, just before he would turn heel and join with McMahon.

It was an action-packed match. It was a brutal brawl. Since all three were at about the same level of stardom, it wasn’t really clear who was going to win.

Mankind was written in as a brutal maniac, while The Rock was a clever face, so Mankind did all kinds of stunts and out of the box moves, while The Rock found a way to victory, despite some bleeding. The Rock was cool and the audience loved it.
