Was Mankind vs Undertaker in a Hell In A Cell the best gimmick match of all time? Let us know in the comments below.

[@Am0ment0fB]

Lita vs Trish in bra and panties match. Ha.

[@BoneFromTheDale]

I witnessed that match live. Pure insanity and awesomeness. Won’t forget it as long as I live.

[@HarryTaylor91]

It happened on my 8th birthday, i was in Year 4 or 5 at Primary school, family couldn't afford Sky Sports so all i got was WCW on 4/5 and the occasional VHS, a friends Mum had taped the whole PPV from Sky Box Office for me! When i got home that night......It changed my life!

[@sicksix8211]

Yes

[@alphanerd7221]

No. It's a poorly conceived train wreck with substandard equipment.

[@DaveTheTurd]

I could listen to Foley talk endlessly.....

[@dhotnessmcawesome9747]

Long story short, I hear yah. Short story long... That's good because the beginning and end of this video are him talking about drastically different things that have basically... NOTHING to do with each other at all... But I watched the whole thing too and when it was done thinking "Aw man... That's it?"

[@dominiquejones3805]

[@markconner8664]

I think it’s important, too, that JR made the comment: “They’ve killed him!” Who is “they”? I think it was JR thinking certain people had talked Mick into taking those bumps & slipping up during his commentary. Just my thoughts on it.

[@TheMattypoo21]

I attended one of Mick's comedy shows 2 years ago. It was a great time. He had me invested the entire time.

[@jackson5781]

Having met Mick in person, he spoke publicly at my college back in 2004 or 2005, and was promoting his book. Mick has always been a great public speaker. He is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. He can make you laugh joke and even be serious. How he talks on the internet is who he is 100 pct.

[@Leo-yn5fx]

Mick didnt need to take all those crazy bumps. His promos, and his commissioner segments are some of my favorite moments. Top 3 of all time alongside Shawn and Steve.

[@Fighttilltheend0136]

Yep

[@patrickevans9604]

Most of the reason for him taking so many crazy bumps was because he had been told he would never get over or be considered a top guy because of his body shape. He took that to heart and went nuts in ecw then wwe

[@Luke_-_]

He’s hardcore and fitted with his mankind demeanour

[@Brndn350Z]

Crazy mick is a legend but mox and them are bums 😂😂

[@Iceman-xe7jo]

No but the opinion of him by the fans completely changed after that HIAC. That’s when he started to turn baby face.

[@mecha2001]

all 3 matches he said were the best at the end, I totally agree. it's crazy to think 20 years ago you had to watch them all in various mediums but now you can just tune into Peacock and they're all there. we're living in the future!

[@malcolmr3]

Mick is definitely one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He did things that nobody else would even consider, as long as he believed it was to make the match the best it could be. He truly loves the business and it shows. Nothing but mad respect.

[@Ok.I.Pull.Up.420]

My fav wrestler of all time! And yes Hell in a cell, best match of all time.

[@conniecarroll747]

I used to really enjoy Hell in the Cell the way it was, but it's been changed over the years I can no longer enjoy it. It first started with 2 people walking in with no weapons but themselves. The 1st was with the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. Several good ones after that like the one Mick talks about with The Undertaker. I can't remember when it changed, but now 2 people walk, and there are weapons underneath the ring. It takes the mystery out of it, plus at times, a weapon has been thrown over the top. The old days were better.

[@garyoddedmund7607]

I think the street fight w HHH and the HIAC w HHH were amazing as well.

[@leerjet31]

Met Mick in Huntsville last year dude is such a a genuinely nice guy it was early he didn't have anyone at his booth yet and we talked for around 10 minutes and nothing about wrestling other than I asked if Mark Callaway (undertaker) was a nice guy or not (he said he was one of the nicest in the locker room and most helpful to new talent) so it was great

[@JessicaChastainFan]

"I wanna be remembered as the world's most polite wrestler"

[@VGCLegends]

I'm surprised he doesn't think of the 2000 Royal Rumble Street Fight with Triple H as one of his best matches cuz that match really pivoted H3 into the main event scene

[@Suchega_Uber]

The fact that Mick consistently mentions Evansville, Indiana blows my mind. Especially in the same breath as Memphis, Tennessee. Evansville is a city, but that's just technicality. It's very small comparatively is all. Just every time I hear it I get this feeling, like if I came home to find a super hero sitting on my couch. I feel special that he remembered this really small place. It's classy, it makes me like him, and that's why he is so fondly talked about and remembered. That's probably why he married a model. Dude has undeniable rizz.

He's so hard on himself. Only 3 matches & it's weird that Orton is one of the 3. I don't consider that a top 5 for him. I would have thought Terry Funk was on that list. He's definitely a complicated guy. There are layers to him, it's no wonder he has so many identities. I remember when his book came out my friend & I got it & we were both taken aback at how well he wrote it. It's common knowledge now, but back then Foley wasn't know as a literary genius.
