Will Foley’s HIAC bump ever be topped? Let us know in the comments below!
Never.
Never
It likely won't, and probably shouldn't.
So Shane's dive off the higher cell doesn't count?
@@strongestavenger3085no coz he imitated what Mick had done
the fact Mick can story tell so coherently after the career endured - guy's an animal.
especially with just an hour and a half of sleep.
Mans is a different breed of human being. Nobody is as tough as he is.
Coherent? He forgets what he was talking about 5 seconds after he starts talking
When you're having fun you will never forget that day
He is alot worse than I've heard in awhile.
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.
Shit was expensive no matter who ya were back in the day. We're talking $39.99 to $59.99 each Month for the WWF PPV. IN Your Houses being cheaper/package deals.
Then again, Everyone I knew (allegedly) - Their Parents had a Black Box (allegedly) & oh how glorious it was (allegedly). I still have every PPV from late 98 to like 02 on VHS My Cat's Uncle's Nephew recorded. It's no wonder Cable Companies have all their customers by the balls nowadays - My Generation's Parents ruined it for everybody. looool
@@makaveli087I -allegedly- had one of those boxes. All my friends brought the snacks.
@@makaveli087 In Germany people paid like 15 bucks for each PPV. The four big Events were a bit more expensive but still not even close to 40-60$
@@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.
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.
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
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
I live real close by to there if I’m not mistaken is that the Ford dealership that’s right off highway 395 after the exit to killingly? And like 3-4 exits before you get into Massachusetts
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.
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
"Good God almighty! Good God almighty! That kil led him! As God as my witness he is broken in half!” - Jim Ross
to this day it still always pop in my head whenever i see a good fall even if its me
Will somebody stop the damn match?!
One of the best lines of commentary ever in wrestling
It was so good because it was JR'S legit reaction.
“that’s it, he’s dead”
So glad to see Mick looking so healthy, fantastic.
RIP Terry Funk, always remembered him getting chokeslamed out of the runners
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.
@@DavisD814’skwabbling’???????? Gtfoh lol
You have given me a good word. Skawbbling is a perfectly cromulent word.
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.
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.
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
@chrisgreaves4479 foley,jack and mankind. Badass...but when he was dude love ,nah...
hes so humble and entertaining, his smile when he brings up those moments is literally gold
Lmao do you even know what “literally” means?
@@teelowteelow356 yeah means “exactly” if im not mistaken, and why did you need to comment that? not everyone is born in english countries. That comment was really unnecessary
@@whosdiesel cringe
@@teelowteelow356 🤣🤣 okay?
@teelowteelow356 You keep quiet, you insufferable little contrarian. You’re the only “cringe” one here.
One of the greatest performances in live entertainment.
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.
If I ain’t wrong. He came out later that same night lol
@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.
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.
Mick Foley was never at WCW bro .. that was Cactus Jack! BANG BANG!
Funny he mentioned Bill Murray since "it's okay; the table broke the fall."
You won
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

ua-cam.com/video/HrlnVvrGl3M/v-deo.htmlsi=1fRVqISeLrGRk9ey
Hope this is the one
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?
"when I finally rolled over onto my stomach I looked up and the only thing I could think was - 'where did those shoes come from?'" 😂😂😂😂😂
Goosebumps at the same time for me Mick! And truly Non PG words at whoever calls "Fake". Thank you for the memories. They will outlive us all!
Wrestling is 100% fake af
The fact that Foley can even speak is a miracle. Go watch some of his hardcore ECW matches. He got his ear ripped off hanging between 2 ring ropes!
I love Terry Funk impressions. Especially Micks, always hilarious.
I saw this on ppv and it still lives rent free in my head. Mick is the man and will forever be my favorite wrestler!
I actually remember Mick most for his entries in the 1998 royal rumble.
3 faces of Foley was awesome nobody else could have pulled that off period
@@joshs9986…….
Micks obsession with Terry funk getting choke slammed “out of his shoes” is hilarious 😂😂😂 *regains consciousness* “where did those shoes come from?” 🤣🤣
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.
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.
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.
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 🎉
STILL my favourite wrestler of all time. Been lucky enough to meet him during his TNA run, Polite, humble and funny. Good guy.
This match lives rent free in my head forever. Foley's the G.O.A.T.
Mick Foley and Edge vs Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer at ECW One Night Stand was one of the best matches I've ever seen.
Micks a ledgend me and my 2 brothers migrated to australia we had nothing only thing we would do was hire wwf videos and that match stayed in our hearts forever
I can't imagine the pain he goes through daily. ❤
Nobody is as hard core as Mick Foley
And the Undertaker
That was the best Undertaker impression of all time
He made me jump off the kitchen counter when I was lil man 🔥🤌🏾
Now you get to go through life with seperated vertabre
The part about autopilot really hits home when you work on the turnpike and hear the same dumb questions and jokes every day for years
He came to Clark's Trading Post for years w/his family here in NH, even posing with the "Wolfman". Wish I could've been there when he was. Love to meet him.
Steved fingers are no joke, man. I once Kevined my thumb and couldn't use it for days.
“Where did those shows come from” 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
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.
This is an amazing video
I'm sure that was in Glasgow as I was there and it was such a great night
Great vid. Thank you.
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.
I was there with my grandfather for that match and I got to say to this day when he hit that mat the audible oof from the crowd sounded like a pack of dogs barking. Then it was dead silence
"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.
the thing is, however-loud Taker said it, the fans would Never have been able to hear him...theyd already blown the roof off the building by the time Mick was airborne, on his direct flight to the ground...
A True Legend
We all loved Foley
Mick is insane and also a good, well-hearted person with a stable family. Net worth of 8 million. Not bad for pro wrestling.
Mick Foley is the best, This man is and always will be a legend. I don't care what this man chooses to wear in public. If he wants to wear sweats and PJ's in public then I raise my glass for him and toast to his eternal awesomeness. Science will benefit significantly once they get to study his body.... hopefully not for many many years from now, but when they do... Man oh man science is going to learn so much. how this man still lives and walks on his own and can form coherent and intelligent sentences is a scientific miracle.
You’re amazing Mick seriously
Great interview
In any event past, present or future, this match will forever remain as one of my all time favorites.
Mick is a crazy bastard! Best match ever
I'd forgotten about the Sin Cara finger incident.
Alberto Del Rio was so offended that he started to kick Sin Cara's heid in.
Mick is the greatest professional wrestler and sports entertainer the world has ever seen. Mick is also a really nice, kind and genuinely good person the world is lucky to have in it. THANK YOU MICK, cactus jack, dude love, mankind,
This man is far too eloquent for someone who went through the shit he did. Tough son of a bitch doesn't come close to how resilient Mick Foley is.
also, after watching a few episodes of the SixFeetUnder podcast, i could totally imagine Mark Calaway (hiding underneath all that hair) taking a quick Character-Break to say "that was a humdinger of a landing you took!"
God bless Mick Foley!!!
A bonafide legend ‼️
Mick is a legend
i would love to ask Mick about the land mines in the ring from his days in japan. those messed with me so hard when i saw as a kid . always wondered wtf they were and if they actually burned or if that was a work
14:00 talk about getting chokeslammed out your boots🤣💀💯
“Where did those shoes come from?” 😂😂😂
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.
26 years later, and it's still the most ungodly match ever!
After the level of concussions Mick has endured the fact he can not only write a New York Time's best selling book but be able to make an insane narrated story to go with it.
Truly incredible.
I always knew that table was magical
Jack vs Sabu at ECW arena in Philly back in the day ❤❤❤
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.
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.
Gotta love Mick. One of my favorites ever during AND after his career.
this was so great
I just can't help but believe that once Vince heard about Mick's finish, he made sure they built that b***h weak enough to make sure it wasn't going to take multiple chokeslams.
A deadly finish means more than a clumsy finish to Vince.
The funniest part is that Spanky was the only one who got the "toss" reference
Articulate. Intelligent. God bless Mick Foley!
I had to do a quick search on what “toss” means in the UK. That is very funny now! 😂
Mick foley u r a legend 👏 🙌
Taker tossing off foley is truly hell
When people say wrestling is fake, I get pissed off because i remember these matches. Put those people in the ring with the Undertaker and let them go through what Mick went through that night, let's see if they will live to say "wrestling is fake" again.
Personally mick has had so many amazing matches edge and foley at mania comes to mind or anything he did in ecw
You All lite the World for ever
With all the damage Nick Foley has gone through, How does Jack Black look older?
Jack Black < Cactus Jack
I'd say being part of the holywood drug fueled pedo cult might have something to do with it.
AL SNOW JOKES!!!!!!
What’s this? A “Best of All Snow” tape?
Wh…What…it’s empty????
Oh I get it, there IS no “Best of Al Snow” tape!!!
HO HO HO THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!!!
As a fellow American I was confused about Sin Cara’s staved finger 😂
If youve played basketball and the ball hit the tip of your finger then you know what he's meaning
@@justaguy5770 oof so annoying!
I’m British and had no idea what he was on about either!
Mick and the Undertaker did a watch along a year ago, for the 25th anniversary and its great.
Look it up. It's on WWEs UA-cam page
I myself wanna hear about more of the matches over in Japan and FMW
Mick is prodigy, I've been on board since cactus Jack, God bless Mr Foley 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
everyone always asks about is specific bumps or a specific match but with somone like Mick I woul want to know why in general. He built a reputation for being one of the nicest guys outside the ring... super polite talkative... but his career was brutal... where was the difference... what inside of him made him go from nice guy to i want to do these brutal matches
Love this man
Amazing
The amazing thing is, after the fire, barbed wire, bumps and tacks, socko probably made him way more money.
Get that man a better chair next time for God's sake
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.
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
It is the greatest OMG moment in the history of entertainment and all sport. Can’t think of anything that has topped it 😵💫
I was in absolute shock when it happened as everyone else was. Probably the most memorable/greatest match of all time.
Legend
Like he said That HIAC match will outlive them it will stand the test of time
