Foley is Pod #21: IN YOUR HOUSE - BURIED ALIVE

[@abehulk3453]

I got a Cameo from Foley a few years ago and I asked for something that was not asked for at the time, a 3 faces of Foley persona birthday shout out, and HE NAILED IT! This man's personality is a treasure.

[@sithari518]

My cousins and I would do buried alive matches in his room as kids. In order to win, you had to cover your opponent with not just 1, but 2 blankets. Lol.

[@HLPC_2]

Haha sounds like a childhood fulfilled!

[@wrestlingwithart]

You are the greatest of all-time. In and out of the ring. Thank you, sir!

[@weatheredtome]

You're quite welcome, young man!

[@davidtoney3110]

but, why do you say he's so great ? Personally, I think he's overrated.

[@richardhoffman527]

I met Mick Foley once in person and was by far one of the best human beings I ever met before.

[@chrisrodgers1087]

Mr. In Your House!! "No one did more, when it mattered less"

[@lousama]

My first date at a skating rink was the date of the buried alive match.. So I'm sorry to Mick and 'taker that I was unable to watch this live. But my dad picked me up from the skating rink and told me he recorded it on vhs & so I got to watch it within an hour of my first kiss! So I will always have a special place in my heart for this show.

[@travisdonohue8826]

Being too young to see these matches and the circumstances around them mannn how lucky y'all born in the 80's were to see all this live.

[@johnsmith-po9gt]

Look into his time in Japan. His king of the death match runs were the whole reason he is known as a hardcore legend. Him coming to the ring holding on to his hardcore cross will forever be in my memory.

[@jeromemanley7885]

It was an awesome time!

[@JJMcHurt]

Not the 80s here but the late 60s. Grew up with NWA & Mid south wrestling’s d always found NY wrestling too hoagie until the start of the attitude era

[@gladememmott3001]

You ain't kidding LoL 😆

[@danieltempleton838]

Straight facts. Lives the best era of several things wrestling being one of them.

[@christopherjaskowiak9327]

I can't wait to experience the episode when they recount the Monday Night Raw where Mick beat The Rock for his first WWF World title. That was one of THE greatest moments in wrestling history.

[@nunyanunya4147]

OH! just in time. packing some beaver dream and running through conan exiles. thanks for keeping me company micky

[@benjaminandrew5410]

Love the show... What's the buzzing going on throughout?

[@devious187]

I'm a day late but there's not much better than Saturday morning, a cup of strong coffee, a nice bowl of some Pink God weed, and Mick Foley talking about coming out of someone's grave and casket fitting lol "1991, we saw you in a Chamber Of Horrors match, no one had ever seen one of those" And thank God we never saw another one! Mick (about the fake Razor and Diesel): "It's kind of an insult to the guys... To think you could just throw in a replacement and fans would be fooled." Kind of an insult? Its a direct slap in the face of Hall and Nash if you ask me.

[@mondowrongo9510]

I remember buying the VHS of Buried Alive at Woolworths! I was so excited to see it and I didn’t have cable...

[@billepperson2662]

12:22 "These kids today? They don't know about casket fittings!"

[@1979reload]

I was there. Buried Alive. Market Square Arena. Indianapolis. Ringside. Incredible memory that has lasted this long and will last my lifetime.

[@Wonkzzilla]

Mankind vs Undertaker, along with Paul Bearer and later Kane, is my favorite rivalry in wrestling, EVER!!!

[@getbk_5452]

Those build up reels to Buried Alive were priceless to 8 yr old me.

[@Crowster12781]

Honestly, I thought the original Mankind music was perfect for that creepy gimmick and the exit music when he won was a stroke of brilliance...personally I liked his original music better than Crash.

[@JeremiahEcks777]

I did as well. Crash was a tad less unique, in that way. But the worst must be the interim tune Mankind had when he won the title?

[@Crowster12781]

@@JeremiahEcks777 oh yeah, the Mankind music they tried to make sound more "face" just didn't work...im glad he got a good tune for his face run...

[@AddyFamilyAdventures]

My little brother and I were at the Buried Alive match in Indianapolis. It was a very memorable night. We bumped into JR and Jerry "The King" Lawler in the parking Garage. My little brother and I just seen Mick in Portland, Indiana.

[@bpolovich9398]

Please bring back Timestamps ffs

[@levithompson1971]

Saw this on vhs in Asda in early 1997 and of course in uk we only had the big five on ppv on sky sports and we didn't get the in your house shows so when i saw this I bought it but our video recorder chewed it up kid you not the first time when I tried to watch it didn't see it for years after that about early 2007 a undertaker DVD had the match on it but it was edited a bit few months later wwe released the tagged classics and the whole ppv was on one disc and in your house it's time was on the other disc as for the match taker and mick literally were trying to destroy each other with unprotected chair shots and taker hand coming out of the grave fond memories of this rivalry

[@79thPenn]

Another Friday another Mick Foley Podcast!

[@brainhakker7133]

Like sands through the hourglass ...

[@thesundog8833]

Thought I seen an Undertaker "energy drink" there 😆

[@LALakersNornIron]

This match, the concept, the build was way ahead of its time.

[@davidstronach3261]

Just imagine you're visiting a grave at night to pay respects and you see Mankind Paul Bearer and The Undertaker in the cemetery that night LOL

[@JeremiahEcks777]

Ohhh yesssssss!

[@tazmissionplex]

I was hoping mick would come in clutch and think of kenta kobashi and he did 👍👍👍

[@brainhakker7133]

I would expect nothing else from : Mr In Your House ...... Mr In Your House ..

[@cableroyson9992]

Thank you !

[@bazilbrian9346]

Best. I love wrestling podcasts.

[@kcole3937]

As a young 9 year old kid man you thought Mankind/Taker was really gonna destroy each other back in 96

[@bpolovich9398]

Dude, NO TIMESTAMPS = TRAGIC

[@sdd619]

I firmly believe that this PPV was the test for Steve Austin to become a babyface with his match with Triple H. The original match was to be against Savio Vega who was "injured"

[@chrisarctor]

I never did understand why they had Shawn defend the title in a dark match, against Goldust who had already challenged for the IC title earlier in the show. Just one of those weird approaches they had with trying to incorporate more ppvs during a time they were losing money. I mean, did 2 heels need to go 15 minutes (Austin v. Hunter)? Why didn't Shawn defend it against one of them?

[@activegraves71]

Just had a thought after seeing the urn behind the Zoa can. After Paul screwed Taker and left with Mankind and the urn, I don’t remember Taker getting it back until 2004 WM20. In kayfabe, did Mankind just have it for 8 years and decide to give it back to Taker post-retirement?

[@JeremiahEcks777]

I don't know; did the Urn come up during the Ministry of Darkness era? I think Paul Bearer otherwise had it.

[@weatheredtome]

What's with the 56k dialup sounds?

[@lalomontoyajr.9282]

I always liked The Executioner. And the stable of Mankind, Paul Bearer and The Executioner was so underrated. They where cool. And they should have been given more of a chance.

[@hmdwgf]

“Yeah, back in my day we buried our opponents alive, and we liked it!” -Mick Foley

[@smartmark3168]

i watched this ppv last week

[@williammitchell4417]

Chocolate chip cookies?? Watch out for the Ex-Lax!!!

[@mattgain5570]

So Mankind ate the Rock:s cookies... Wonder if he tried the Rock's strudel

[@CannedHam2479]

Solid ppv. I enjoyed it

[@Nbflowers1989]

Much love Mick!!!

[@billepperson2662]

59:23 I'm of 2 minds regarding the nWo going into the HOF. There absolutely are a TON of pro wrestlers that deserve to be in the hall, who could've easily gone in under the nWo banner: Mr. Perfect, Ted DiBiase, Lex Luger, Rick Rude (who should've gone in as an original member of DX 🤬) just to name a few... BUT that being said, as Mick pointed out, that shouldn't also mean having to let in your Virgils, your Horace Hogans etc

[@getbk_5452]

I always wondered wth didn't Shawn Michael's defend the belt against anyone. But he did it was just a dark match vs Goldust

[@mitchhandke4332]

I don't know how many times I've watched In your House - Buried alive. and was just mercerized. You were truly hard core with the promos leading up to this match. I've seen your promos where you're clutching a steel chair as mankind and rocking back and forth with a very pleased and content look on your face. This also just mercerized me as well. I don't know if you are following Smack Down but live Morgans character has under gone a change a metamorphosis if you will much like you did. in the lead up to her match with Rousie, she went hard core several times and last night, at the end of her match she attacks her opponent with multiple steel chairs and the last imatge of her in the ring was her siting there rocking back and forth like you used to do as the mankind character. personally, I thought it was great and I think the announce team missed the chance I would have commented that she was channeling mankind or even cactus jack. Did you see that match and what are your thoughts on the WWE going back to a more rough and tumble style.

[@williammitchell4417]

Funny I just watched Eric and Conrad talking about bad gimmicks. Then here they talk about Terry Gordy RIP

[@trurobertson]

So is Foley saying Gordy ended up like Mike Von Erich ?

[@PHX006]

Don’t you touch terry gordys van

[@rahtismyname]

Conrad do you realize that ive heard Mick tell this undertaker story, the sled story, many stories repeatedly like hes telling it for the 1st time. Why do you let him do that? It cant be for ppl who only listened in to this episode, i mean, the vince stories, the owen stories, the taker, the owen pranks, the i havent won a match in forever, the list goes on n on. I love you mick but cmon i know you got more. -Rah T ( Li, NY) (North Babylon). "Have a nice day" P.S Ive been binge watching since episode 1... theres still more i see atleast 29 clickable for now but this is 20 so ill be at 21 next.

[@crushthecrusher7134]

I love in your house buried alive Mankind wrestle undertaker on October 20, 1996 all the wrestlers buried undertaker alive

[@jeromemanley7885]

Love the Scranton CYC keeps getting love in this podcast lol. We were the example of the Attitude Era taking wrestling away from us, but it led to a brand new arena in 2001 where fast-forward to 2022 and Raw will be live from in 2 weeks

[@sarahprice144]

these kids today....no appreciation for a casket fitting...

[@FredDoGG1985]

foley owes me 20 bucks

[@tomtalker2000]

Leon got the shaft in the WWE. He should have NEVER signed a contract with that company. And it's simply because of how they misused him. Coming from Japanese Puroresu which is and EXTREMELY STIFF style of pro wrestling compared to the U.S. How else was he supposed too wrestle...? Shawn Michaels was a HUGE thorn in Leon's side constantly bitching about him wrestling too stiff with him. It just wasn't a good fit at all. And it's the rare time when a wrestler got over more in WCW rather than WWE. Probably because WCW had a good working relationship with a lot of Japanese promotions. Leon was arguably one of THE BEST big man to ever grace a squared circle. Some of the boys can say what they want about him. But when it was "GO TIME" his ability inside that ring spoke VOLUMES. RIP big man.

[@RLSmith-uo9zs]

If Mick is doing a show with WWE, the beans may have already have been spilled by a certain executive on his or her podcast about Mick and him and her going to buy a certain Jeep for a recent Reunion. 👀… potentially.

[@JeremiahEcks777]

I have no idea what this means.

[@OomaGooma]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🥇 👍🏻

[@positivevibetec]

Undertaker stole the idea from Harry houdini. That is 100% fact and it blows my mind that Mick is not brought that up

[@Zroolmpf_Celmbror]

False advertising: the WWE Network blocks VPN Services.

[@luisortiz1203]

I met mic Foley at an autograph signing at Huck Finn's warehouse in Albany N.Y. This was in 1998 when he was teaming with Terry funk feuding with the New Age Outlaws. Hey mic do you remember that autograph signing at Huck Finn's warehouse in Albany N.Y around 1998?

[@BOBBYSOX86]

1996 Mankind was the best version

[@adamlane6453]

Though the character's evolution was necessary to stay relevant over time, I do agree, the earliest incarnation of Mankind was the best. Never was a huge fan of the necktie or Socko to be honest.
