3. Foley’s Post HIAC Comments
Who can forget this match which is still talked about and glorified by the WWE Network till this day. The barbaric nature of The Undertaker-Mankind match was truly something to behold, not only was Mankind shot off the cell onto the commentary booth but he also accidentally broke the top of the cell and landed in the ring which caused his tooth to go up his nose. The scene of destruction in the ring was all so surreal.
Backstage, the doctors brought Foley to a quiet room where Vince Russo went to check on his good buddy. Russo will never forget Foley’s comments after the match which were: “was it better than Shawn’s”, referring to HBK’s HIAC match against The Undertaker which was regarded as the best cell match at the time. Russo marvelled in awe at how much passion for the business the guy had. It was really special and one that is hard to match.
