Never.

[@darrenspremiumautodetailin8235]

I’m 37 now and we rented that pay per view. It was the only ppv we ever got to rent- we weren’t rich by any means. It was at my grandparents house and I still think of that match all the time.

[@makaveli087]

Shit was expensive no matter who ya were back in the day. We're talking $39.99 to $59.99 each Month for the WWF PPV. IN Your Houses being cheaper/package deals. Then again, Everyone I knew (allegedly) - Their Parents had a Black Box (allegedly) & oh how glorious it was (allegedly). I still have every PPV from late 98 to like 02 on VHS My Cat's Uncle's Nephew recorded. It's no wonder Cable Companies have all their customers by the balls nowadays - My Generation's Parents ruined it for everybody. looool

[@jascha2765]

@@makaveli087 In Germany people paid like 15 bucks for each PPV. The four big Events were a bit more expensive but still not even close to 40-60$

[@makaveli087]

@@jascha2765 That's really interesting! PPV & the stranglehold some cable companies & Providers have on certain regions & markets is a whole other thing. The only thing I recall from the PPV's being like $30-$50 minimum was you got both showings (one after the other - what a bargain) & WWF always ran some sort of promo where you'd send in your PPV Receipt. Which, many of didn't have (alleged ly). As an adult, I'd have paid any amount of money for the like 5"x5" piece of the actual ring they gave away to people for Wrestlemania XV.

[@Fibonaccisghost]

That’s a nice memory. I remember watching this with my little brother and us looking at each other in disbelief. We were shocked and I’ll never forget the look on his face.

[@asymmetricfuzion970]

Mick. You LITERALLY put together one of the most impactful important wrestling matches that has ever been put together. It was magic. It’s never happened since. It will never happen again. You are a part of history. That’s why everyone is so obsessed with it still

[@gagegluck7104]

I met mick was I was a kid. He came down to Putnam, CT at a ford dealership and he was the nicest wrestler I’ve ever met! He took the time to answer questions, sign everything, and even did the cactus jack pose with me. I’ll always appreciate him for that because I’ve waited hours in line to meet certain people and they didn’t even care I existed. Mick made sure you felt included and appreciated. Thank you mick

[@Garpocalypse]

Mick and a crew of wrestlers showed up at the hotel I worked night shift at around 2009 in upstate NY. Looking at a lobby of huge dudes and not recognizing any of them the first thing I said was " Where's Undertaker?" And mick responded "...yea that's what they all say." A bit later on he came down for a chat and clued me in on who everyone was and then lit me up at the front desk just for fun and to give a small show to the people checking in. Super cool dude. Definitely haven't forgotten that night.

[@JohnDee633]

That makes sense, I think he was in TNA then. So there were only a few recognizable faces for people that knew him in the WWF years

[@sillwuka]

So glad to see Mick looking so healthy, fantastic.

[@TheSink1000]

RIP Terry Funk, always remembered him getting chokeslamed out of the runners

[@DavisD814]

The best thing about that was Terry was genuinely worried for Mick and I recall Mick telling the story somewhere and he said him and the Funker were skwabbling at the time. They weren’t getting along over something dumb and silly and Terry was still genuinely worried for Mick and it helped them squash the issue they were having.

[@RobertRobinson-od6eq]

@@DavisD814’skwabbling’???????? Gtfoh lol

[@onslaught3306]

26 years later, and it's still the most unbelievable spot in wrestling add to the fact that Mick got up again and again and finished the match.

[@chrisgreaves4479]

Incredible wasn’t it? It’s certainly the most memorable match in WWF history in my opinion, I still watch the match all the time, I’ll never forget it. Mick Foley is special and I don’t think there will ever be anybody who could fill his shoes

It was so good because it was JR'S legit reaction.

[@cartercartercartercar]

“that’s it, he’s dead”

[@pabl0sauced0]

Its insane he wrestled the day after that match. He basically had 2 car crashes within 5 minutes of each other and was taking another table bump off a cell like 2 weeks later.

[@alecnorwood1693]

If I ain’t wrong. He came out later that same night lol

[@GerryBolger]

​@alecnorwood1693 Yeah he interfered in the First Blood match between Stone Cold and The Rock. The strange thing is that, when running out, Taker looked more beaten up than Foley because of the broken ankle he acquired *before* the Hell in a Cell. They must've been running on mad adrenaline because neither man should've been involved but dude, seeing Foley running out is like seeing a dead man come back to life. *The irony of that last sentence isn't lost on me but it's the best way I can articulate it.

[@alexyawors3227]

Wrestlers, but Mick in particular, are the modern version of old fishermen in a bar telling tales of sea monsters. The way he tells his feats is so epic, so full of background thoughts, they will take 20 minutes to tell a 4 minutes segment, and it all embelishes the story. That's a born storyteller.

[@J0nny_Ch1mp0]

With all of the shots to the head over the course of his career, how the F* is Foley able to be so verbally articulate?

[@njdevilsforlifewoohoo5533]

That was F’n awesome. I have always loved Mick. I don’t remember him in WCW but his days in ECW and WWF/WWE are amazing. A legend beyond.

Favorite promo with Mick Foley is where he comes out as mankind against Triple H and says that he can’t face him and that he owes Triple H a substitute in that match and rips off his mask and it’s cactus Jack. I was so hyped when that happened. then I used to watch that promo over and over it had the music if someone can find that please link it for me so I can rewatch it and relive the memories

I love Terry Funk impressions. Especially Micks, always hilarious.

[@WhiteIkiryo-yt2it]

If I ever.get the chance to meet Mick, I would love to ask him about his first with Tommy Dreamer and his "these fans will eat you alive!" When he sides with Raven because the story telling was brilliant and felt like the first appearance of Mankind as he was turning away from Cactus Jack. The emotion he puts into the promo was amazing.

[@player1connected]

I never knew who Mick Foley was as a kid but always chose him in WWE games. I'm so glad i took my time to see who he was 🎉

[@NotSuitableForMum]

STILL my favourite wrestler of all time. Been lucky enough to meet him during his TNA run, Polite, humble and funny. Good guy.

[@CriticalThinking88]

Mick was the guy who put me in contact with a local promotion where I wrestled for a few years. He's a great guy and never let success inflate his ego.

[@markhealey3660]

My daughter was five when I showed her this match Mick was taking about. She thought Mark killed Mick. Once she saw Mick moving around, she was hooked on wrestling. She 18 now and still loves to watch wrestling with me. Thanks guys for what I deem as the greatest match I have ever seen in my 60 years on this marble.

[@CraigNiel]

There's not many PPV's I remember from 25+ years ago but this is one of them. I watched it with a good pal as I'd got the PPV on Sky TV and my pal came round to watch it. Something daft like 3am and we're watching Mick Foley flying off a 30 foot cage thinking he was actually dead. But I remember it mainly because my pal some years later moved to America and started a new life, was doing great but was killed by a drunk driver as he walked home one night. I hadn't seen him in years and hoped to again one day but alas it shall never be. R.I.P John, I'll never EVER forget us watching that match in my old house all those years ago.

[@wicked_ace4053]

Being in school at the time of this match, it was the talk of the school for months. And that match will live longer than all of us. When you think of WWF/WWE hell any promotion. You have to think of this match, it's been almost 30 years now. People are still talking about it. Mick always had the over the top gimmicks, Mick will always be one of my favorite SUPERSTARS /Pro Wrestlers/Hardcore Champions of all time. Back in the attitude era was wrestling. I'm proud to say, I grew up watching the true icons of the business. Without that era, we wouldn't have anything today. Can't forget about ECW either, they had some crazy insane matches in their prime as well. But nothing like HITC match between The Undertaker vs Mankind.

[@Zero-is-infinite]

Never have I ever thought of mankind vs the undertakers hell in a cell matches as Man fighting death & the cage is life. Saw the feuds & all but this interview painted such a great picture of Life.

[@Docru911]

Gotta love Mick. One of my favorites ever during AND after his career.

[@jaysnewphone7005]

While I understand that he is allowed I'm glad that Mick addressed his wardrobe choice for this media appearance. I was scrolling and saw Mick and Taker. I kept right on going. New stories sure; I bet the video is 12 years old. I went back up to check the date. I saw that it was Mick talking now and figuring as how I'll always listen to whatever Mick has to say I clicked on the video. As the video loaded I thought; It would be cool if Mick showed up as Dude Love. The video started and I saw Mick sat on the stage in those clothes. I thought; oh, I see that he did.

[@patrickmccarty3249]

Great interview

[@jasonlloyd3335]

I remember watching Mick hit the table and I thought he was dead. Then he climbed the cage and took the bump through the roof. I was 100% sure it was an accident and he was again dead. Unquestionably the most iconic spot in wrestling history and it always will be. There will never be another Mick and they will never allow that level of risk again.

[@prince5791]

[@MinimalistCollector]

Great vid. Thank you.

[@RyanRumbles434]

I would have a ton of questions to ask Mick besides HIAC. I figured he's talked it to death. I wanna hear again about that bad bump from Vader outside the ring on WCW Saturday Night.

[@granpastreetz]

He took a crazy flat back bump, in WCW, off the elevated entrance ramp vs the nasty boys. He didn't move at all and Saggs was looking at him, took a metal corn shovel and hit him straight in the face. That was the finish.. It had to be because I think he was legit knocked out

[@frankr2921]

[@leihamada4672]

"Check to see if he's still alive." Is something Marrk could have said out of character loud enough that fans could hear, and we'd all sat he was still in character.

Mick as I sit here and hear you get upset by your JR comment about being " the tougher in that environment " I can't help but be upset 2, but then I started thinking and maybe you looking at it the wrong way....yo se is there Job to narrated each night those stories and in the wwf story stone cold was the definition of toughest. He (JR) in his character and in real live love stone cold so the fact that he accidentally when "out of character " by saying something that we would normally say about austin he had to fix it on the spot. The fact of the matter is he was washing something so incredible his real emotions came out and then he had to fix it for the sake of the "stone cold" persona and wwf story of the" real toughest " looking at it that way gave me peace. Remember in real life you were really the toughest
