The Need For A Hostile Takeover: The Build-Up To Bash At The Beach 1996

Last week, I wrote about the historic Hell in a Cell confrontation between Mankind and The Undertaker from the 1998 King of the Ring event. Even seventeen years later, the match is still worthy to talk about, mainly due to the incredible risks that Mick Foley took with his body. It’s brutality set a standard for violence in wrestling matches that can be argued as yet to be matched to this day.

When you talk about historic moments in wrestling history, it can just as easily be said that the turn of Hulk Hogan and the formation of wrestling’s New World Order is something that almost two decades later is still light years ahead of any sports entertainment stable since.
