[@ArchangelSteve]

Wrong way round; his tooth goes through his nose after he takes the second fall through the cell, a chair he'd taken up there earlier falls through with him and hits him in the face when he lands. When he goes *off* the cell he crashes through the announcer's table and then lies on the floor until he's stretchered out, when he goes *through* the cell he manages to prop himself up against a turnbuckle and he's checking where his tooth's gone with his tongue, which JR thinks is him smiling.

Re watching old wrestling matches and I'm now realizing how funny both JR and the King were. They really hyped the show with their commentary.

The fall from that cell will be burned into my memory forever. Mick is a true one of a kind.

This man literally gave his body and life for us kids and if you were adult the same applies, this Man needs his roses and should live like a king with what he did for us. Thank you Sir, from a little kid who was fascinated and caught in awe by your characters and harm you sustained.

[@garrymclaughlan6433]

I didn't care for Mankind before Hell in a cell, watching it live I have since had a new respect for Mick Foley and still do. Tough guy

[@stephencasper87]

To me, the most memorable Mick Foley moment was the 1998 Royal Rumble where he came out 3 times, once as Cactus Jack, then as Mandkind, and last as Dude Love. His Dude Love entrance that night brought me to tears I was laughing so hard, partly out of sheer surprise. Mick Foley was a legend in so many ways.

[@BlueFox284]

I was at that Rumble in 98' Was in San Jose. Mick came out first as Cactus Jack, with Funk as Chainsaw Charlie second, and the Rumble started off as a hardcore match. lol Poor Tom Brandi came out @ #3 and Mick & Terry stopped beating the crap out of each other just long enough to dispose of Tom in mere seconds. 😆 Mankind came out mid-Match and Dude Love made it to the final 4 with Austin, The Rock and Farooq. Mick had some ring time that night!

[@collinblack8474]

Thank you Mick, Mankind and Catus Jack for telling us your version of the match.👏

[@WeeNat313]

You are a really good interviewer. You were respectful, let him speak and didn't keep interrupting him and didn't ask dumb questions. From a fellow Scot :)

Mick Foley wrestled for other promotions such as WCW, ECW, GWF, UWF, various promotions in Japan and other countries around the world before he made it big in WWF/E.

[@Joshua_McClain]

By far one of my favorite wrestler of all time Mick Foley. The man is a living super hero. Should have been called Unstoppable. When someone says give it your all. They mean Mick Foley.

[@TP_Gillz]

That 98 Hell in a Cell match is the most famous infamous wrestling match in history and I don't think will ever be topped.

[@ReverendLondo]

Mick is a legend. A man who grew up on wrestling, wanted to be a part of it, and gave everything to make it even better than what it was when he joined even when he himself acknowledged he wasn't good enough. And he fucking *succeeded.*

[@toughlikerocks]

Not even a wrestling fan but I could listen to Mick Foley talk for hours.

[@jordanpierre6775]

Honestly I can listen to Mick Foley talk about his wrestling experience for days. Stone cold, should have Mick Foley on a podcast with a few others like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker etc.

[@SatoshiKong]

A legit, candid (as in NOT sanctioned by WWE) roundtable talk with Austin, Taker, Shawn, Hunter, Dwayne & Mick would be goddamn amazing.

[@blazeitup4204]

he's still the toughest wrestler I ever seen without doubt in all of wwf history, I'm not mentioning the wwe history lol. I mean this guy had part of his ear torn off during a match and still wrestled. And this match well I think we all remember how much shit he went through and he still finished the match. Your one of a kind Mick Foley thanks for the amazing wrestling memories

[@SatoshiKong]

Blaze it up 420 I'd say Sabu and Terry Funk give Mick a run for his money in the toughness category (a lot of Sabu's injuries were his own fault though to be fair, lol.)

[@ZombifiedBuizel]

@@SatoshiKong I'm convinced Sabu can't feel pain. No one just gets their bicep torn out and tapes it up like nothing happened.

[@SatoshiKong]

ZombifiedBuizel I wouldn’t be surprised, dude’s got more scars than a burn victim lol.

[@StewartJsR]

Mick Foley is easily the most underrated wrestler that has ever lived. When you think of the great "elements" of a pro Wrestler he's basically an A+ for all of them. Ability to carry and live not one but THREE legitimate characters (that right now in the awful state of wrestling would all be top-5 gimmicks), was great behind the microphone and his in-ring ability is extremely underrated. I think it's because of the Mankind/Cactus angles which pertained to less mat focused matches, that we just didn't see his true ability and genius as much as we could have. I really think he sit's up there with Brett/Curt Hennig in terms of technical ability - that's how good he was. Put it this way I never remembered him botching moves and when I watch his matches now, 20 years on, I smile at how good they are in terms of technique and construction. Really, really appreciate how good he was, what a legend

[@terereynolds698]

I love Mick and listening to him tell stories, I know he got hurt so many times and almost died a couple of times, but he gave us fans 200 % every time I stepped in the ring. When he stepped in the ring, you always knew it was going to be an awesome match.

[@thebackwoodsmechanic5029]

Mick Foley & The Undertaker are the 2 inspirations for why I went into wrestling years ago. True legends of the sport

mick you are not just known for that one match, you are a living legend, you made other legends like triple h, edge and randy orton, you ve been in so many iconic moments and matches, you were an integral part of the attitude era, you were funny and entertaining, yet very intense and brave, simply put one of the goats of professional wrestling.

[@GS-go9qq]

Was only ever passingly aware of professional wrestling growing up. I never really got it. It was fake. What was the point? Yet I was always fascinated by what people saw in it. It's only as I have got older that I realised it doesn't matter that it's fake, it's simply about the show, and the show is very real indeed. As is the wrestlers' total commitment to the show. The Mick on this stage and the Mick beneath the mask in that match are completely unrecognisable. What he puts himself through in that match is unthinkable to someone who doesn't understand wrestling but hearing him talk about it shows what a complete professional he is. His commitment to the show is staggering. What a brilliant storyteller.
