Ranking all 5 Inferno matches in WWF/WWE history

#2 Kane vs. MVP (WWE Armageddon 2006)

Kane and MVP

An unlikely pick for the second spot, this encounter between the current mouthpiece of WWE RAW's The Hurt Business, MVP, and an unmasked Kane, was driven by proper stakes in place and the athletic ability of MVP, which made the match quite interesting.

Built as the semi-main event of WWE Armageddon 2006, the bout had the two Superstars use the always entertaining dynamic of a big man vs. a small man fight. Another aspect that makes the match so good is the fact that the two wrestled close to fire for long periods. It increased the danger level infinitely and used the stipulation to its best. A spot where Kane removes a turnbuckle only to light it up to set MVP on fire was quite innovative and unlike what we had seen in previous Inferno matches.

The ending, too, was quite a memorable one with Kane choking MVP into the fire, which allowed the latter's back to catch fire, giving The Big Red Machine a win. MVP was on fire a good 15 seconds before it was extinguished, and he deserves props for taking such a risk.
