Was Mick Foley's Hell In A Cell dive necessary? Let us know in the comments below

[@Davian_Thule]

Yes

[@Shadow.24772]

THE DIve...YES!! Everything AFTER....i don't think so...

[@TheBlackScatPack]

Not necessary but it help solidify the legend of Mick Foley

[@StrikeTeam0316]

Hell yeah! 🍻

[@redrick8900]

No. That match is a grotesque train wreck.

The funniest and most wholesome person in pro wrestling...would love to book him as Santa, when I have children

[@Enterprise1238]

I would call myself a very casual fan of wrestling, but I can listen to Mick Foley tell stories all day.

[@Alexander-bp2ht]

I always loved the Cactus Jack character, likely because I had only seen what WWE put together, cherry picking the best parts. I just recently realized the significance of his shirt... Imagine there is a wanted sign with your head on it. Most people would duck and skip town asap. Not this badass, he prints a copy of it on his shirt and shows up at the fight arena! What a badass move.

[@RyanConnell5150]

Mick could have worn one of his own shirts to promote his merch up there on the stage, but he chose to wear a Rhea Ripley shirt instead. What a guy.

[@depauldixon795]

To me as a kid Mankind was the first one that I thought put Undertaker in real Physical jeopardy. I really was concerned for him.

[@cleonidas2166]

If I was Rhea Ripley and I saw THIS MAN wearing my shirt, I think I would just collapse dead 😂

Was Mick Foley's Hell In A Cell dive necessary? Let us know in the comments below

[@originaltallman28]

It wasn’t necessary, but my God was it epic.

[@RyanConnell5150]

Would we be talking about the match 25 years later if he hadn't done it?

[@kingj7018]

The first one, unfortunetly yes. When people saw him stand up on his own and climb up the cell again was when people started to respect him

[@adamg2031]

Foley's McMahon impression sounds like Randy Savage.

[@mickanvonfootscraymarket5520]

you're fired ooh yeahhh

[@johnrogers1528]

When I was a kid I remember I had smackdown versus raw 2006 I'd never heard of mankind cactus Jack or dude Love until you had to play him in the game or unlock him I don't remember I remember mankind quickly becoming one of my second favorite characters cuz he was so hard to beat I would always play as the undertaker mankind has always had a special site since the first time I saw him

[@Mitten4371]

Yea I have been a wrestling fan ever since I was a kid and I used to watch WCW alot growing up and I remember Mick Foley being in WCW. But when WCW went out of business I started watching the WWE and I remember Mick being in WWE as well but I met him in 1996 or 1997 at a movie theatre that I was working at during that time. But when he entered the movie theatre I was just mesmerised by his size especially meeting him in person

[@meguy7735]

I’ve been watching these on a playlist and I’ve dropped a like on all of them.

[@VendreadMike95]

I fucking Love Foley. "You beat the undertaker!..." foley: "I didn't get to do anything" 😂

[@LS-bw7jt]

I wish someone in England did this. Love to be their live

[@UnderaRockGaming]

Their live what? Also who are they?

[@Lemmi7810]

"Alright damn it!" I can literally hear Vince shout that😂

[@tebraizshahzad3364]

Loved Foley Circa 1991-2006 as a worker. Mankind though was my favorite character of his. Although Foley made it work(and was given creative freedom unlike today's stars). A lesser worker would have failed miserably!

[@kurtanglerookieyear]

It was all so simple, create a character that does not fear death

[@ThornOfSociety]

Like that his Vince sounds like Duke Nukem.

[@jonbourgoin182]

McMahon didn't think Foley looked like a star but just look at Kevin Owens...good lord

[@simonmoller]

Mr mcmahon is not a fan of owens he wanted him to loose weight. Triple h is a big fan

[@SlamDeath-cm8es]

I Hate Kevin

[@JDC8397]

[@lilrex2015]

Where do i find full episodes of these interviews.

[@harleyjackson3708]

Kinda messed up that they didn't make a removable lining for his mask that could be washed. They could have literally lined it with T-shirt material and it would have done the J.O.B. better than just having the raw side of the leather be on his face all night. Ever felt the rough side of a sheet of raw hide leather? It's VERY unpleasant.

[@andresgarcia-jc4mf]

I've heard this from him b4

[@LS-fd6tl]

Why does he call Vince "Mr McMahon" in shoots?

[@fuckcensorship69]

That's what he's always called him

[@LS-fd6tl]

@fuckcensorship69 no he hasn't, he used to call him Vince. Watch beyond the mat for example of any of his dvd's (or of you're old enough - vhs tapes) from 98-01 and he refers to him as Vince

[@lakshayjumrani9820]

You can add images of things being talked about in your videos. For eg, 2:02 here you could add images of the mask. In other videos you can add pictures of wrestlers and moments being talked about.

[@MrZombiejoe]

I still think MANKIND/TAKER is the Best Thing in Wrestling HISORY!!!!! 🤘

[@MrZombiejoe]

I could have SWORE they were calling him MANKIND during all his Vignettes before WrestleMania. 🤔🧐
