JIM ROSS: " I *HATED* ROCK vs MANKIND "I QUIT" MATCH at the ROYAL RUMBLE"

[@daviddesantis4040]

It always makes me cringe when I hear the phrase “we didn’t know about head injuries what we know now”… It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that taking 20 swinging full force chair shots to the head is incredibly dangerous. It’s truly a miracle that Foley didn’t end up like Benoit

It's the match I recall more than any. I had recently returned to fandom at the 98 Survivor series after checking out at Summerslam 96ish.

[@bacardi4417]

The rock and mick didn't go into business for themselves. The ROCK went into business for HIMSELF. Mick has said multiple times throughout his career he was signaling to rock to hit his back by turning away from rock and lowering his head away from the entrance ramp. Then Rock circles around him like a moron (knowing damn well mick was signaling for a back shot) and yells at mick to turn around. It was obvious mick wanted him to hit his back with the chair not his head especially near the end when he had already let rock hit him multiple times on the head. Rock knew this and he still wanted to take advantage of Mick in order to propel his own persona. Rewatch the UNEDITED match it's all there, yet everyone keeps letting the rock slide even after so many years

[@peterrussel7453]

The most realistic match I've seen in WWE history I felt for Mankind I was worried about Mick.

[@TheFailedmessiah]

First off. Mick was legit handcuffed. Not kayfabe cuffed with fake cuffs with a hidden release hatch. He just fully absorbed 20 full swing chair shots to the head. Just laying it in. Rock made sure if he was gonna swing a chair. He was gonna really swing it. I remember when he smacked Ken shamrock with one. Ken instructed rock on what to do so he won't get hurt or concussed he's like hit me on the forehead. Lay it in. Now that was just one chair shot. I'm sure mick could take 2 or 3 good shots and be ok. But 20? And they all seemed to get harder and harder progressively. Hard to watch. When stonecold was asked about chair shots to the head. Stonecold said "I'd just get my hands up a bit and not take the full blow to the head" but those unprotected chair shots to the head were popular back then. I remember Kane eating some nasty ones.

[@EVILGORIA]

It wasn’t 20 it was 11 chair shots

[@doomstan]

I guess Rock got a little too comfortable, thinking "oh this is mick foley, he's seen worse damage"

[@Teabagsforlife]

It was eleven. And ken didn't ask him to lay it in so he wouldn't get hurt. It was so it looked good. He laughed about it on a podcast. You think being hit in the forehead won't give you a concussion? He didn't care and he said as much.

@@nessadvantage9447 I mean there's video out there of Kenny Omega having a match with a 9 year old little girl. Him and Ibushi having matches with a goddamn blowup sex doll, and a match where Omega sticks his fingers in Ibushi's ass right in the middle of the ring, but it's the Rock vs Mankind that should be deleted from existence because it's too real and too brutal? Like, what in the white hot fuck is wrong with people? 🤦🏻‍♂

[@danjonmills]

Doesn't change that it happened, numbnuts. It would be an insult to what Mick endured, in fact, to erase it. It's a legendary match (not nec. for best reasons) but a great rivalry and great event that will always be rewatchable.

And again Taz has no business behind the Mic as a so called broadcast commentator no matter what Jim Ross says.

[@frankf684]

Yes he does

[@ojmcclanahan689]

These days we have trash like Excalibur shitting into a headset and calling it commentary, and you're complaining about Taz? What the fuck?!

… Relax guys, their pros 🤷🏾‍♂️

Listen JR I love you man but if you didn't know they were gonna do those chair shots or the famous hell in a cell match fall with mick then that makes you look stupid. Like holy crap that's like in ECW when they did that Jesus cross stunt with sandman and Paul haman told Kurt Angle I had no idea they were going to do that because it piss him off when he visit ECW.

[@frankf684]

Heyman was the booker,JR is an announcer.Not the same thing,not that unbelievable they wouldn’t tell JR

[@augustushaynes1311]

JR never knew what was going to happen because he liked to call the matches as they went. If he knew what would happen he wouldn’t be so realistic when calling the matches.

[@ojmcclanahan689]

What a braindead comment...

[@darkheart407]

@@frankf684 well yea but he was doing everything among with taz and some other people if you watched the rise and fall of ECW.

If you're in the entertainment business (music, acting, wrestling, etc) and your goal isn't to make a lasting impression then what is the point? I'm recording my first album and my ultimate goal, my highest hope is leaving a lasting impression on someone that 15 years from now it still means something to them. I don't get saying that as if it's a negative.
