00:30¡Oh, my God! Look at this, it broke through!
00:32She had two talents out there that liked to really push that envelope until it fell over the edge.
00:41Oh, wrestling's fake. You can't fake gravity.
00:45I've been frightened by a lot of things in pro wrestling. Nothing frightened me as much as that did.
00:49Until later on in the match, anyway.
00:54What left fans stunned was the unrelenting punishment Mick Foley endured.
00:58Until you saw it, you didn't believe that a person could physically do this and live.
01:05No!
01:06This match was real. The pain was real. The drama was real.
01:10I was cursing and screaming and calling him an effin' idiot. Why are you doing this?
01:18One of wrestling's most infamous matches, Hell in a Cell's legacy persists as both an epic success and a cautionary tale.
01:26I think we dodged bullets that day. Not just one, but several.
01:29It's really crazy to think that they would allow someone to go unconscious and then just continue the match.
01:36The collateral damage that ensued is another story.
01:40When does it stop? When's it enough?
01:42You pay all day long for the decisions you make in your 15 minutes in the spotlight.
01:48It was a dangerously crazy masterpiece.
01:51But all of us need to ask ourselves the question, was it worth it?
01:55Everyone who gets into wrestling is looking for something that they find missing in their own lives.
02:18For me, I mean, I was teased a lot.
02:25So I had an overwhelming need to be liked.
02:28And to take that WWF championship belt.
02:32For example, I remember being in college as a sophomore.
02:35I took a swig of red food coloring and I did a superfly leap off a bed onto a stuffed animal on a concrete floor.
02:44And when I hit the floor, I spit that blood concoction out.
02:50Everybody in the dorm was there watching.
02:53And I heard one of the girls yell out, that's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.
02:57And I felt that power.
02:59So I thought, if I can't make people love me, perhaps I can disgust them.
03:05I just needed to get reactions.
03:09My name is Mick Foley.
03:10I am known as the hardcore legend.
03:12And I survived Hell in a Cell.
03:16I think Hell in a Cell is a perfect gateway.
03:20So many people have said, that's the first match I was shown.
03:23And now I'm a huge fan.
03:24And my follow-up question is always like, did you expect all the matches to be like that?
03:29And it's like, because they're not.
03:34A normal Mick Foley match is quite hardcore.
03:41Brutal.
03:42Probably blood.
03:43Fuck me!
03:44Bum tacks.
03:47Fire.
03:47Oh my god, he's bringing a cactus check!
03:50Barbed wire.
03:52Getting exploded by C4 explosives in Japan.
03:55And getting speared through a table of fire.
03:59Taking like bumps on the concrete.
04:02Oh god, run out of concrete!
04:04I mean, he just put his body through so much.
04:06I'm Mickie Foley, and my dad is the hardcore legend Mick Foley.
04:10I think he just really loves getting like an, oh my god, or gross, or nasty type of pop.
04:17Oh my god!
04:18I'm Noelle Foley, and I'm the daughter of Mick Foley.
04:22Realism was a big tool.
04:24I didn't think I was having a good match unless I had trouble getting back to my hotel room.
04:28I did not enjoy the pain.
04:31I enjoyed the fact that I could take it and sell it in a way that was fun.
04:36Oh no!
04:37Oh my god!
04:38He's hung himself in the rope!
04:40I just had to really ask myself, do I want to get mixed up with this?
04:47I'm Colette Foley, and I've known Mick Foley for over 35 years.
04:54When I met Mick, I noticed his eyes.
04:57I noticed that he was a gentle, nice person.
05:01But his corny jokes and terrible humor, that's what really made me fall in love with him.
05:10Our wedding song was actually Beauty and the Beast.
05:14We were a good team.
05:16She understood.
05:17She understood my commitment.
05:19Like, she really did.
05:20When that adrenaline was pumping, he just wanted people to leave talking about how great a show
05:28it was, at his own risk.
05:32And that was his drive to keep going and get more crazy along the way.
05:38He developed a personality called Cactus Jack.
05:41You can't stop Cactus Jack!
05:44He was a wild and crazy guy.
05:45You thought he might be insane.
05:47Are you kidding me?
05:48He had charisma.
05:50You couldn't take your eyes off this guy.
05:52He was different.
05:53He was unusual.
05:53I'm Jim Cornette, and at the time of the Hell in a Cell match, I was working as an agent
05:59and a producer for the WWF.
06:01Mick was excellent with psychology in his matches.
06:05He knew that the fans liked people that were out of control.
06:09He's biting them!
06:10Someone who was going against the script.
06:13Cactus is going next!
06:14He could take those people on that ride with him and elicit the response that he wanted
06:19to get.
06:20I'm loving this!
06:22Then the attention would be on him and his reputation would grow.
06:26Our bedroom furniture consisted of a mattress on the floor with a black and white television
06:33with a VCR that barely worked, and in that VCR, it was Japanese wrestling tapes.
06:40I would sometimes watch 12 hours of Japanese wrestling a day.
06:46I liked the realism, the storytelling.
06:50It's not just man versus man.
06:52You have to defeat the surroundings, you know?
06:56I thought Japan was likely to be where I made my living.
07:00They were looking for a foreigner who could feud with Terry Funk.
07:05Terry Funk was the greatest of all time for his ability to make people suspend disbelief
07:12in a second.
07:16Terry Funk became somewhat of a mentor to Mick, and they started working together in these explosive,
07:25bloody, violent, fiery death matches in Japan.
07:30I was always drawn to the wild stuff, so I would literally be on my hands and knees,
07:37and I thought that was proof that I had done something special.
07:41This is a place I can make myself stand out.
07:44So I never saw myself being a WWE guy.
07:50In WWE at the time, it wasn't a PG era.
07:53It was a G-rated era.
07:55Very bland, and for someone like Mick, his style didn't really gel with what WWF was selling.
08:07My name is Al Snow.
08:08I'm a former WWE superstar.
08:11I was Mick Foley's travel partner, and dare I say, probably his best friend.
08:17Probably his only friend.
08:18I'm just kidding.
08:21Vince McMahon did not want Mick Foley.
08:24Didn't think that he was marketable.
08:26Didn't think he was attractive.
08:28How I convinced Mick McMahon to hire Mick was to give me a chance on my observations of talent,
08:37because I see something in this guy.
08:40I'm Jim Ross, and at the time of the Hell in a Cell, I was vice president of talent relations.
08:47I needed to make sure that we had dancing partners for the top guys.
08:51Undertaker was one of the biggest stars in the history of wrestling.
08:54Wrong land, The Undertaker!
08:56Vince kept trying to go with giants to face The Undertaker, which was boring and dull.
09:02Big right hand!
09:03What you needed was a lunatic.
09:06I'd heard a story about Vince slamming his hand down on a table and said,
09:10All right, I'll bring him in, but I'm covering up his face.
09:14We don't know who he is.
09:16We don't know nothing about him.
09:17Well, he's nobody.
09:18He's nothing.
09:18That's Vince's perception of Mick Foley.
09:20Hey, everybody, I'm Gerald Briscoe, better known as Jerry Briscoe, WWE Hall of Famer and Chickasaw Nation Hall of Famer.
09:29Vince was like, man, it was like, okay, now you guys go build a character around nothing.
09:34So we come down, mankind.
09:36What the hell, mankind?
09:39Here he comes, mankind!
09:41This bogus bullshit wouldn't have worked with anybody but Mick Foley.
09:47He's pulling his own hero!
09:49Without a connection to the audience, without character, everything else is meaningless.
09:54I think fans can sense the commitment.
09:57My goal for Mick was that he was going to be a great opponent for The Undertaker.
10:00Here they go!
10:01He was willing to try anything.
10:04As my granny would say, he didn't turn nothing down but the covers.
10:07Oh, my God!
10:08Oh!
10:09Oh!
10:10So now I've got this big challenge to not let him kill himself.
10:14Uh-oh!
10:15Oh!
10:15The Undertaker and I were laying quite a foundation.
10:19Seven pay-per-view matches, ten TV matches.
10:22We've been around the globe together.
10:24Yeah!
10:25But my character had kind of plateaued.
10:29I knew I had to do something.
10:31Something that would add to, instead of detract, from our legacy.
10:36For 1998's King of the Ring pay-per-view, WWF producers planned to reignite the Mankind-Undertaker
10:43feud with a recently developed concept, Hell in a Cell.
10:48The way that they did cage matches in the WWF was you had to either get out by either climbing
10:54over the cage or leaving through the door.
10:57I asked Vince McMahon, I said, what about if this cage match is different?
11:00What about if we put a roof on the cage?
11:05Both go in, only one's coming out.
11:08And that's where we came up with Hell in a Cell.
11:11Undertaker and Shawn Michaels had the first Hell in a Cell, and it was a mile marker.
11:16From the top, driving the O-Bike!
11:18Well, the Michaels-Undertaker match, technically, to me, it's still the best one.
11:23I just looked at this match open-jawed.
11:27I literally can't do any of the things that these guys are doing.
11:32Some nine months later, they're going to do it again, this time the Undertaker and Mankind.
11:37And then I asked Terry Funk, what are we going to do?
11:42And he started laughing.
11:44He went, ha, ha, ha.
11:45You know what would be funny is, what if you actually started the match on top of the Cell?
11:50And what if you were thrown off?
11:52He's saying it as a joke.
11:54He stopped laughing.
11:55I looked at him and I said, I think I can do that.
11:59I could not get the idea out of my head.
12:02I pitched the Undertaker and Mr. McMahon, the idea of being thrown off, into a casual conversation.
12:09It was a great Cell job.
12:12I wasn't on board, really, for throwing Mick off the Cell.
12:16And, you know, he was dead set.
12:19And then, you know, we got that on board with him.
12:21And I was like, okay.
12:24I was not looking at this match as, like, a second act in my career.
12:29I was just looking at it as a way to try to keep my head above water.
12:33I thought, when this run is done, I am too.
12:38Did you know going into this, what Mick had planned?
12:42Yes.
12:42He told me the high spots, that he was going to be all right.
12:48Welcome, everybody, to the King of the Ring!
12:50If he can see it, he can do it.
12:53And I trust that.
12:54We have only seen one Hell in a Cell matchup in WWF history.
12:59And it was the most unbelievable match that I think I've ever witnessed, JR.
13:02I remember specifically thinking to myself, I need to come out with everything I've got.
13:07Just eyes on the prize.
13:10This match has so much riding on it, JR.
13:13That the loser may not even stop at the hospital.
13:17They may go straight to the morgue.
13:18There's that old saying, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
13:23Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the Hell in a Cell match!
13:37On June 28, 1998, at Pittsburgh Civic Arena, a packed house eagerly awaits the Hell in a Cell showdown
13:45between Undertaker and Mankind.
13:47Yeah, you've got to imagine the pressure that Mick's probably feeling as he's walking to the ring, you know?
13:54Knowing that the last time an audience saw this match, it was Shawn and Taker.
14:01Knowing that he's got to outdo that.
14:04Poor Mick, he's not exactly the most nimble guy in the world, either.
14:07My name is Jimmy Corderas.
14:09At the time of Hell in a Cell, I was part of the ring crew and also a referee.
14:13I was backstage watching on the monitors, and Gerald Briscoe was the one who produces there.
14:19I had the best seat in the house, sat right in front of about ten monitors, watching everything.
14:25So you were, like, basically sitting in the captain's seat during Hell in a Cell?
14:29I was the pilot, baby.
14:31This is probably the first time in 20 years that I've watched this match.
14:35No one knew what to anticipate, and I don't think anyone could have ever imagined what they were going to see.
14:41Hello again, everybody. I'm Jim Ross, alongside Jerry the King Lawler.
14:46I was as much in the dark as a fan watching at home.
14:50I did want to start the match in a way nobody had ever started a match before, and to do something no one had ever done.
14:56Let's do that tear on top of the cage.
14:59What is he doing?
15:01Mankind is climbing.
15:03I think there's a little bit of shock on everybody's face.
15:06Like, he's going up now? He's going up at the beginning of the match?
15:10He's supposed to start out inside the cage, isn't he?
15:12What next?
15:14He's not very logical. I mean, he needs therapy.
15:18I had not been on top of the cell.
15:20I assured Mr. McMahon and The Undertaker, oh, yeah, I've been up there. It's fine.
15:24But the truth is, when I got up there, I was terrified.
15:26I'm actually not good with heights.
15:28Whoa, it's totally dark in here. He may fall off that cell.
15:32The entire time The Undertaker's music is playing, I'm thinking to myself, how can I gracefully climb down this cell without ruining my career?
15:44Wait a minute. Do you think he's daring The Undertaker to start this match up there?
15:48I thought it was a hell of a way to start.
15:51Apparently, hell in the cell match is officially underway.
15:55It created a theater of the mind that one could not get past.
15:59He's there!
16:01He's there!
16:01Something's going to happen. What's going to happen?
16:04They had attached the top section of the cage with zip ties.
16:12But there's 600 pounds of human beings up there.
16:16The Undertaker and I all take a step, and that mesh goes down by about a foot.
16:20Oh, my gosh. Look at this. It broke through.
16:23And I literally hear zip ties springing.
16:27They're destroying the hell in the cell.
16:29When those zip ties were popping off, I thought, oh, boy, this is not good.
16:34I attempt to suplex The Undertaker on top of that mesh.
16:38He cut that off, knowing that, you know, there was a decent chance we were both going to go through it.
16:44Undertaker fighting back.
16:45They're throwing punches, and they got towards the edge of the cage where the announce tables were.
16:50I thought when they got close to the edge, there's just no way in hell that Nick's going to take a tumble off the top of the cage.
16:56That's too dangerous.
16:57It's too iffy.
17:00There's very little margin for error.
17:03I look at this incredibly small table, like a little dollhouse.
17:09I don't know how in the world it's going to work out.
17:12And lo and behold, the closer they got to the edge of the cage,
17:19the more I became convinced that something big is going to happen here momentarily.
17:24And it did.
17:24Then all of a sudden, whew.
17:35Here's Jim Ross, and here's Jerry Lawler, as well as the Spanish announcers.
17:39And they're looking up, and a 300-pound human being is flung at them from almost 20 feet above them, and he's coming at them fast.
17:49As strange as it sounds, it felt like it was going by in slow motion.
17:54It also went by in the blink of an eye.
17:56All of a sudden, you hear this, God, this crash.
18:05Oh, my God.
18:06That's God, it's my witness.
18:07He is broken in half.
18:09Holy shit, did we just see what we thought we saw?
18:12The sound of Nick going through the announcer table was scary as hell.
18:18Everyone that was in the back, we just exploded in concern.
18:22Look at that.
18:23Look at this.
18:23Give me a break.
18:24It was like witnessing a car accident.
18:28Ooh, you will.
18:29Thought he was dead.
18:30We need doctors out here.
18:32Folks, we apologize.
18:33This man just stopped.
18:34Dead in his tracks.
18:35In a business filled with crazy, strange things, nobody had ever tried to do something like this before.
18:44It blew everybody's mind.
18:46And I thought, my God, this is over.
18:48There's no way he's going to get back up.
18:58There was an audible gasp where everyone went, no!
19:01No!
19:01We had two young children at the time, and they didn't know what to think of it.
19:15All I kept saying was, oh, it's fake, just to soothe them.
19:21Yet in the back of my mind, I'm freaking out.
19:25It's tough to know when it really, really, really is real.
19:29Somebody get out of here, really!
19:30But it had to have hurt him, and it was believable.
19:35If The Undertaker threw him just a little too far or a little too short, that's falling from God knows how high onto concrete.
19:43Or could have even landed on fans.
19:45The pain would come later.
19:47He saw it in his head, and in midair, he turned in such a way that he was able to land flat on that announce desk to cushion that fall and not kill him.
20:07And when it did happen, you should have heard the voices back there, replay that, and you go into business mode where you're trying to get every great shot that you had with it.
20:17Hugo Savinovich, the Spanish commentator, bailed out of his chair instead of getting flattened.
20:23It was pretty traumatic, to be honest.
20:28Because it was my friend out there, and being torn with the rule that you don't step in, you don't interfere with whatever Mick was trying to construct.
20:38The fans were literally having this guy laying at their feet, and they're looking at all the attendants and the referees.
20:47There's Terry Funk!
20:49I know Terry Funk was the first one to get there.
20:51I asked Terry, is he conscious right there?
20:54Now we're trying to make room for Dr. Francois to get there.
20:57So I was in my medical room, and suddenly I hear, right now, come right now, Mick fell from the top of the cell.
21:06And I say, what?
21:08I'm Dr. Francois Petit, a.k.a. Chien Petit.
21:10I used to be the doctor for WWF for about four and a half, five years on the road, and before that for about eight, nine years in Los Angeles.
21:20Francois was kind of like the French army knife.
21:22Francois was a black belt in karate.
21:24He was a Sub-Zero in the first Mortal Kombat movie.
21:29Probably a secret agent and, you know, investment banker.
21:34Francois was what they, I think they call him, bone crackers.
21:37He could fix you.
21:39You probably wouldn't enjoy it.
21:41But he could, he could put you back in place.
21:46No matter what the malady was, he, ah, baby, I fix you.
21:49I fix you, baby.
21:50It'll be okay.
21:51You're going to have to put him back mid-40, of course.
21:55He was my number one patient, if I can't say something like that.
21:59Dr. Francois Petit.
22:02Well, hell, this is nuts what he did.
22:06He fell on his back badly.
22:07And on top of that, on the dislocated shoulder.
22:11The EMT people have no idea how to get the gurney down there.
22:16And it turns out the gurney wouldn't fit.
22:18So now they've got to raise the cell with the Undertaker on it.
22:21Is he going to jump down here?
22:23He was put on that gurney like that was real.
22:26They were going to take him to the hospital.
22:28We thought the damn thing was over with.
22:30I mean, what else can they do, you know?
22:32But we found out, you know?
22:34I realized that the longer I'm on there, the more fully the audience is engaged.
22:42I've never seen anything like that in my life.
22:44Well, I'm not.
22:45Yeah.
22:46But I've got a feeling that I'm going to be able to continue.
22:53Look at him!
22:55Everybody was trying to tell him, no, Mick, you're done.
22:57Stop.
22:58You're kidding me!
22:59How in the hell is he standing?
23:01Oh, my God.
23:01What are you doing?
23:02Where are you going?
23:03Why are you doing this?
23:05Just stay down.
23:06He's got a smile on his face, for God's sakes.
23:10Holy shit, he's coming back for more?
23:12Are you kidding me?
23:14The entire is going back there.
23:16No way!
23:16And so is the Undertaker.
23:18No way!
23:19I'm thinking this got to be the craziest, dumbest SOB in our business.
23:23How can he climb?
23:24How can his body?
23:25At this point, I do not know how I'm going to do this and live.
23:28But I have pledged to do it, and I'm going to do it.
23:31This is absolutely amazing.
23:35Absolutely amazing here.
23:37I'm thinking to myself, you're insane, you're an idiot.
23:39But at the same time that I'm thinking that, I'm thinking that was the moment that really
23:44made him a star.
23:45By then, backstage was packed, because they know shit's going on.
23:51I stayed back where I was, because I knew something else was going to happen.
23:54I knew.
23:55I guess at the end of the day, I'm glad that they went back up, because it created another
24:00moment.
24:01It added to the storyline.
24:04But sometimes you can storyline yourself right to the hospital.
24:07The next spot in the storyline, pitched by Nick Foley, was far less concerning.
24:13A headbutt by The Undertaker, and a right hand.
24:16At least, at first.
24:18We had already agreed on the one chokeslam, which we thought would cause the mash to gradually
24:24give way, and the big visual was going to be Undertaker, like, stuffing me down.
24:30But that did not happen.
24:32He throws him off on the other side.
24:34There's...
24:34Oh!
24:35Good God!
24:37Good God!
24:37And now, Houston, we got a problem.
24:41Oh, that's it.
24:41He's dead.
24:42I thought that the destruction of the Foley body was well in hand.
24:47It was a completely different situation than when he got thrown off the top.
24:57You just...
24:58You just know.
24:59I'm screaming at the TV set.
25:02I am cursing.
25:04I was, like, trying to get the company on the phone.
25:09And I couldn't get through to anybody.
25:10I couldn't get through to anybody.
25:12How do you tell your children, oh, daddy's acting?
25:16Laying there lifeless, motionless.
25:19This was not expected at all.
25:23I thought that was the end of him.
25:30If he throws him off on the other side, there's...
25:34When he hit that solid mat...
25:43That ring is on concrete.
25:46Matt doesn't do it justice.
25:48It's more like hitting the cement.
25:50As he's falling, that metal, heavy, solid, folding chair came right behind him.
25:59You can see when he lands that chair, boom, there's a chair on his face.
26:03Boom.
26:04He could have very easily died.
26:06I mean, my mom thought he was dead also.
26:08I was shocked.
26:10I was screaming.
26:11I was furious.
26:14Because I thought he betrayed me by not telling me the truth that there was another spot.
26:21There we go.
26:21Joke slam.
26:22Oh.
26:24That was the first time in his career that he'd been legitimately knocked out cold.
26:27We all flooded the cage, Dr. Francois, Terry Funk.
26:31The guys that went out there were thinking, this might be the end.
26:35He was really not responsive at that point.
26:38Man, he landed in such a funky way.
26:52I didn't know that he was going to get up.
26:54I was legit scared for what the results were going to be.
26:58The Undertaker, he looked at Terry and said, see if he's alive.
27:02Terry reports back, he's still breathing.
27:07There were so many times when I'd seen stars, but I'd never been out for more than a couple seconds.
27:13And this time, there's 42 seconds that I don't recall.
27:16Undertaker coming, stop him!
27:18Terry Funk took it into his own hands and walked up to Undertaker and said, hit me.
27:22Terry Funk trying to help Mick fall.
27:24So he could take the focus away from Mick a little bit so everybody could tend to him.
27:28It's all ad lib.
27:29It's all at the moment.
27:31If I'd ever seen a match that should have been stopped, that was probably the one.
27:40But you just didn't do it back then.
27:43He just got chokeslammed out of his shoes.
27:45We didn't stop matches.
27:46We bought time.
27:48And I needed every second that I could get.
27:52When I came to and I immediately saw Terry Funk's shoes, I then realized I'm in this match.
27:58And that's where I try to stand.
28:00How is he still standing up?
28:02I don't have a damn clue.
28:03Oh my God.
28:05He is a freaking mess.
28:08It's really crazy to think that they would allow this to happen.
28:12Just like someone go unconscious and then continue the match.
28:16As the clouds began to clear, I was all about trying to create an image for TV.
28:22I've got a massive wound underneath my lip, and if I can find a way to take my tongue, stick
28:29it through that massive wound, it's going to make for a great TV moment.
28:32Oh my.
28:34And he's smiling.
28:35There's the tooth.
28:37There's the tooth.
28:37How do you get hit in the face with a chair, and it knocks your tooth out, and it ends
28:42up in your nostril?
28:43One of the doctors said that it went into his throat, but because he was breathing so heavily,
28:49that he had sucked it up the other way and came down through his nasal passage.
28:52What's that sticking out of his nose?
28:53Maybe a tooth?
28:54Maybe a tooth?
28:55This match was real.
28:56The pain was real.
28:57The drama was real.
28:58The expressions on everybody's face were real.
29:01Real concern.
29:03You could look in his eyes and tell you there was nobody home.
29:07And I'm trying to talk to him.
29:09All he wanted to do is, we've got to get to the tacks.
29:20This was their first appearance in WWE.
29:23I felt like I should be the guy to bring him over.
29:26There goes the tacks!
29:27Don't kill me!
29:28Wait a minute!
29:29No!
29:30No!
29:31No!
29:32And Mick's purposely rolling around to make sure he gets all the thumbtacks on him as much
29:36as possible.
29:37No!
29:38No!
29:39No!
29:40No!
29:41When the adrenaline is taking over, you don't realize the pain anymore.
29:45You're part of the pain.
29:46You're pushing so far, you don't even know you're doing it.
29:50Mick is very big about, come hell or high water, whatever it is, he will see it through.
29:56And there's the pico!
29:58Finally, the 17-minute match comes to an end, with The Undertaker defeating mankind.
30:04What a spectacle it was.
30:08In that Pittsburgh Civic Arena, 16,000 people.
30:12We've never seen anything like this before.
30:14They brought The Undertaker up because we thought it was needed for sure.
30:19But he waved it off, and that crowd went absolutely insane.
30:27This was real as a heart attack, and the people could tell.
30:32That puts the fans in the corner of this guy who just cannot be stopped.
30:38And that's the kind of shit that gets over.
30:43An audience has invested their time, their money, and their effort in one single thing,
30:49and that is the belief in you.
30:51He knew and understood that risking his well-being allows them to more thoroughly believe in him
30:59and the experience.
31:00Thank God this is over.
31:02We kept taking these chances, and another chance, and another chance, and for why.
31:08As long as I live, I will never forget what we just witnessed right there, folks.
31:13He would always call and check in with me, let me know that he's okay.
31:17And now here comes the one pay-per-view where she really needs to know, and there's no phone call.
31:23I had to wait and wait and wait.
31:27It made me worry, and that anger came back.
31:30And a few hours later, Mick calls me.
31:34She was screaming at me.
31:36Your children thought you were dead.
31:40I think prior to the cell, she prepared by trusting that I wasn't going to do anything to jeopardize the family.
31:48After that, it became a big concern.
32:00When Mick came back through the curtain, I mean, everybody rushed up and wanted to check on him
32:05and make sure he was as okay as he could possibly be.
32:09One of the first people to greet Mick at the curtain was Vince McMahon.
32:14He said, Mick, I want to thank you for what you've done for my company, and I want you to promise me that you will never do anything like it again.
32:21And pull those thumbtacks out of him.
32:24I'm going backstage, and I overheard Mick say to Taker, did we do the thumbtack spot?
32:30He doesn't realize that the doctor's just plucking him out of him right now.
32:34When you love somebody and you respect them as much as I did Mick, my first thought was, are you okay? Are you really okay?
32:41I don't think he truly anticipated how severe that was going to be.
32:47Like, that night, I had to help him get undressed and then into bed.
32:51You know, he was messed up on that one.
32:55I think it was 15 stitches underneath the lip.
32:58Lost these two teeth.
33:00I don't even know if I was treated for a concussion.
33:03I had a bruised kidney for about six weeks.
33:06My jaw was dislocated.
33:08I can't remember which shoulder was dislocated.
33:10But you know what?
33:12That match changed the way people felt about me.
33:16And that's what really sparked the career renaissance.
33:21With what you did at Hell in a Cell, I want to publicly thank you.
33:27Going from Vince not wanting to see him in a WWF ring to six months after that match, he was world champion.
33:37The reaction, the pop, the adrenaline, the rush.
33:42The more he did, the more risks he took, it made me worry.
33:46The bar kept just going up because it was never good enough.
33:50I think he felt like he had to live up to being the hardcore legend.
33:55Continuing things that he probably shouldn't have.
33:59Mick, at that point, was about what are the limits of physical human endurance?
34:05He felt like he owed it to the guy he was working with.
34:08He owed it to the people to do something that they hadn't seen before.
34:13I remember not a scolding, but a warning.
34:20If you continue to try to do these type things, it's going to catch up with you.
34:24He understood, but he didn't agree with me.
34:29Just seven months later, Mick Foley again pushes his limits.
34:33This time in a brutal showdown with The Rock in the infamous I Quit match.
34:39No stopping the match for excessive blood loss.
34:45I told Mick that's a horrible idea, but he was going to do what he needed to do and what he wanted to do.
34:54I mean, he's riding the big tidal waves.
34:57Well, I also think it had something to do with my way of making it seem like everything is going to be all right.
35:03He was one of the worst days of my life.
35:05And the I Quit match is underway.
35:07I had both children with me. It was super brutal from the beginning.
35:12Oh, man!
35:14I got carried away with The Rock.
35:16I had told him, lay it in.
35:18Mick Foley is barely moving.
35:20And now The Rock has handcuffs.
35:22What the hell is he going to do now?
35:23He did.
35:26But instead of taking five shots, I took 11 shots.
35:30No!
35:31What the hell is Mick Foley doing?
35:34His kids were not old enough at that point to really ascertain what was fact and what was fiction.
35:43But also, in the middle of this fiction, it was a fact.
35:47He got brain damage for a wrestling angle on television.
35:53Where does it end?
35:54What does it take now to put you down?
35:57Please, Mick, say I quit!
36:00So this sounds pretty bizarre, but I don't have one singular memory of my dad ever wrestling.
36:07Part of me thinks it's because it was very traumatic to me.
36:12Like, how could these 11 shots change my dad's health?
36:18Like, if you were to get 11 headshots, a normal person probably could have died.
36:25It's sickening, honestly.
36:28I really, really hate the I Quit match.
36:30Mick always wanted to over-deliver.
36:33And somewhere down the road, all of us need to ask ourselves the question, was it worth it?
36:39I understood that the style I chose was going to result in great discomfort.
36:46There were so many times when I could have made a move less painful.
36:52But I chose not to because I thought it would look better.
36:56There were a handful of doctors saying that you need to stop now.
37:01If you continue wrestling, you'll wind up crippled.
37:04Do you think that stopped him?
37:06I still thought I had one good match left in me.
37:09Stay down!
37:10Stay down!
37:11And so I set about trying to delay the inevitable.
37:16There were times when he should not have been wrestling.
37:22He shouldn't have been cleared.
37:25He'd drive around and not remember where he lived.
37:31It was concussion on top of concussion on top of concussion.
37:35My appointment with the WWE neurologist had not gone particularly well.
37:41So I booked an appointment independent of WWE.
37:44I'll never forget what he told me.
37:45He said, Mr. Foley, if you want to try to find another neurologist to clear you, that's up to you.
37:50What I'm telling you, you should never wrestle again.
37:54If you've pushed those physical limits like Mick has, yeah, you're definitely going to pay a price.
38:01And sadly, Mick is paying that price right now.
38:14Back then, we didn't know the long-term effects of concussions.
38:18When guys take a bump, they have an impact in the ring.
38:24Similar to experiencing a 25-mile-per-hour car accident.
38:30I can only imagine the type of pain that Mick has to live with.
38:34Wait a minute, wait a minute.
38:35The referee's calling for help.
38:36He's paid the price for all this fame.
38:38Mick is very special, and he's lucky he's still with us.
38:41He's done! He's done!
38:42He's done!
38:43CTE is a very scary disease.
38:46That is a long-term effect of repetitive concussions and brain trauma.
38:53We don't really know how my dad will be doing in 10, 20 years or so.
38:59If you're wondering if I'm worried about that, yeah, yeah, and yeah, really worried.
39:04Every day, I worry about that.
39:07The fallout from what I'd done, honestly, I don't see a way out of it.
39:13That's one of the most respected and beloved men to ever compete in our business.
39:18But I'm going to fight it.
39:20I'm going to try to be someone who continues to get sharper as they get older.
39:24And so I have these spoken word shows.
39:27It's like mental gymnastics for my mind.
39:30And I hear the crowd chanting, Undertaker.
39:35Putting on a show, having that stimulation from people, that keeps them going.
39:43I can either appreciate what I have, or I could live in complete fear about the unknown.
39:48So I'm going to continue to enjoy myself.
39:51He lived his dream. He made his dream.
39:56He needs to feel accepted, especially around his legacy.
40:04I tell him, go, do the things you like to do, but don't push your luck.
40:10Colette knew that I was kind of my own worst enemy when I was in the ring.
40:16We dress up in wild costumes and engage in a fantasy form of combat
40:22that leaves a lot of us in worse condition than we arrived at.
40:26And we do it to earn the acceptance of total strangers.
40:34For me, it was all about three actions.
40:36The eyes lighting up, my desire to be authentic.
40:40I definitely wanted to be loved.
40:45All the sacrifices you put your physique through just for the roar of them.
40:54I like that roar.
40:56You can't say that's a fault without also admitting that it's responsible for my success.
41:02Mick Foley is known for many things.
41:06He's a multiple time champion.
41:08He's donated time and energies to charities.
41:11But what he's known for is Hell in a Cell.
41:20For years, I really harbored some resentment for that match.
41:25Because it was the only thing that I was known for.
41:29I was in a dark place for a while.
41:32On one hand, I knew I'd done a lot in wrestling.
41:35On the other hand, I felt like I'd accomplished nothing at all.
41:37How you doing, man?
41:39The Undertaker and I, we were reminiscing.
41:41And he says, you know, Jack, what we did that night will outlive us both.
41:45That was a major step in embracing that moment.
41:49I mean, that's what I got into wrestling for.
41:51To try to create moments like that.
41:54Mankind is climbing.
41:55What is it?
41:56I think fans are going to remember him as a guy who gave his heart and soul to this business
42:01and appreciate him immensely for it.
42:04The audience is coming to be in awe.
42:07Because few people in the world can put you in awe.
42:11And those people do.
42:13This is the beauty of it.
42:15Me and my dad, we were at the WWE warehouse and we came across the cell.
42:34My dad certainly wasn't expecting to see it.
42:38He touched it.
42:41And he just started tearing up and started crying.
42:48I've never seen my dad cry.
42:51For something to make him cry must have been really important and life-changing.
43:01And also probably pretty scary.
43:04Like this could have, this could have been it.
43:11I'm lucky I'm here after that.
43:13There's no reward big enough to cover that risk.
43:17How can he, how can he stand?
43:19We did not know nearly as much about head injuries as we do now.
43:23But I can't tell you with certainty that I would have done things different if I had known that.
43:29I felt like the world had offered me this canvas to create surreal, sublime performance art.
43:37There were some bumps in the road, but it was a pretty magical way to make a living.
43:42On certain nights when things were really good, it was one of the most powerful feelings in the world.
43:48I mean I would never live in writing real life's full.
43:50It was just a blessing to nipple it and air.
43:51It was a blessing.
43:53¡Gracias!
