The 'The Undertaker Threw Mankind Off Hell in a Cell' meme stems from the 1998 King of the Ring pay-per-view, where Mick Foley (Mankind) was thrown 22 feet off the top of a steel cage by The Undertaker. While iconic in wrestling circles, it gained massive internet fame through the Reddit user 'shittymorph,' who became notorious for writing elaborate, informative-sounding comments that abruptly ended with a description of the event. The meme is now synonymous with the bait-and-switch format, where a reader is lured into a serious narrative only to be hit with the unexpected 1998 callback. Visually, the template is also used to represent a sudden, catastrophic failure or one force completely overwhelming another.
