Mankind’s Hell in a Cell match against The Undertaker at the 1998 King of the Ring pay-per-view will forever be one of the most talked about matches of all time.
The bumps that Mick Foley took during the match are legendary, and the WWE Hall of Famer still constantly gets asked about the match.
During an interview with Inside The Ropes Foley talked about Hell in a Cell, and he revealed why he resented being the guy who did the match.
“I resented being the guy who did the Cell match,” Foley said. “For about 15 years someone would and will come up to me at least once a day and ask ‘Did it hurt?’ I disliked being the guy known for that one match because there’s other things I wanted to be known for.”
Mick Foley also said that The Undertaker was ready for the match to be over after the chokeslam through the cage, but Taker said two words to Foley that offended him.
“He just said two words ‘Go home.’ My ego took offense to anyone, even The Undertaker, telling me when it’s time to go home. That’s what got me up. We pulled it together, the thumbtacks emerged and by God, we got across that finish line.”
