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!
01:05This 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, but 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, so 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.
02:36I 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.
03:00So I thought, if I can't make people love me, perhaps I can disgust them.
03:05I just needed to get reactions.
03:08My name is Mick Foley.
03:10I am known as the hardcore legend and 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 and 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?
03:29It's like, because they're not.
03:30A normal Mick Foley match is quite hardcore, brutal, probably blood, bum tacks, fire, barbed wire.
03:52Getting exploded by C4 explosives in Japan.
03:57Getting speared through a table with fire.
03:59Taking like bumps on the concrete.
04:01Oh God, run out of the 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.
04:23I 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.
04:30I 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.
04:56I noticed that he was a gentle, nice person, but his corny jokes and terrible humor.
05:06That'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 it was.
05:29At 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.
05:54I'm Jim Cornette.
05:56And at the time of the Hell in a Cell match, I was working as an agent and 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 to get.
06:20Oh, that's the fans!
06:21I'm loving this!
06:22Then the attention would be on him and his reputation would grow.
06:25Our bedroom furniture consisted of a mattress on the floor with a black and white television with a VCR that barely worked.
06:35And in that VCR 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.
07:01They were looking for a foreigner who could feud with Terry Funk.
07:04Terry Funk was the greatest of all time for his ability to make people suspend disbelief in a second.
07:16Terry Funk became somewhat of a mentor to Mick.
07:20And they started working together in these explosive, bloody, violent, fiery death matches in Japan.
07:29I 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.
07:57And for someone like Mick, his style didn't really gel with what WWF was selling.
08:07My name is Al Snow.
08:09I'm a former WWE superstar.
08:11I was Mick Foley's travel partner.
08:14And dare I say, probably his best friend.
08:17Eh, probably his only friend.
08:20I'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 McMahon to hire Mick was to give me a chance on my observations of talent.
08:37Because I see something in this guy.
08:39I'm Jim Ross, and at the time of the Hell in a Cell, I was vice president of talent relations.
08:46I needed to make sure that we had dancing partners for the top guys.
08:50The Undertaker 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.
09:01The right hand!
09:02What you needed was a lunatic.
09:04I'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.
09:15We don't know nothing about him.
09:16Well, he's nobody.
09:17He'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.
09:28Vince was like, man, it was like,
09:30Okay, now you guys go build a character around nothing.
09:33So we come down, Mankind.
09:35What the hell, Mankind?
09:37Here it comes, Mankind!
09:41This bogus bullshit wouldn't have worked with anybody but Mick Foley.
09:47He's pulling his own hero!
09:48Without a connection to the audience, without character, everything else is meaningless.
09:54I think fans can sense the commitment.
09:56My 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!
10:16The 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 feud with a recently developed concept, Hell in a Cell.
10:47The way that they did cage matches in the WWF was you had to either get out by either climbing over the cage or leaving through the door.
10:56I asked Vince McMahon, I said, what about if this cage match is different?
11:00What about if we put a roof on the cage?
11:04Both go in, only one's coming out.
11:07And that's where we came up with Hell in a Cell.
11:10Undertaker and Shawn Michaels had the first Hell in a Cell and it was a mile marker.
11:16From the top, driving me over!
11:18The Michaels-Undertaker match, technically, to me, it's still the best one.
11:24I 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.
11:38And then I asked Terry Funk, what are we going to do?
11:42And he started laughing, he went, ha, ha, ha.
11:45You know what would be funny is, what if you actually started the match on top of the Cell?
11:49And what if you were thrown off?
11:51He's saying it as a joke.
11:53He stopped laughing and I 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.
12:08It was a great Cell job.
12:11I wasn't on board, really, for throwing Mick off the Cell.
12:15And, you know, he was dead set.
12:18And then, you know, we got Betts on board with him.
12:21And I was like, okay.
12:23I was not looking at this match as like a second act in my career.
12:28I was just looking at it as a way to try to keep my head above water.
12:32I thought, when this run is done, I am too.
12:37Did you know going into this what Mick had planned?
12:41Yes.
12:42He told me the high spots that he was going to be alright.
12:46Welcome everybody to the King of the Ring!
12:50If he can see it, he can do it.
12:52And I trust that.
12:54We have only seen one Hell in a Cell matchup in WWF history.
12:58And it was the most unbelievable match that I think I've ever witnessed, JR.
13:02I remember specifically thinking to myself,
13:04I need to come out with everything I've got,
13:06just eyes on the prize.
13:09This match has so much riding on it, JR,
13:12that the loser may not even stop at the hospital.
13:15They may go straight to the morgue.
13:18There's that old saying,
13:19be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
13:23Oh man!
13:24They've got it already!
13:25They've got it already!
13:26They've got it already!
13:28Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is
13:32The Hell in the Cell match!
13:37On June 28, 1998, at Pittsburgh Civic Arena,
13:41a packed house eagerly awaits the Hell in a Cell showdown
13:44between Undertaker and Mankind.
13:47Yeah, you've got to imagine the pressure that Mick's probably feeling
13:51as he's walking to the ring, you know?
13:53Knowing that the last time an audience saw this match,
13:58it was Shawn and Taker.
14:00Knowing that he's got to outdo that.
14:03Poor Mick, he's not exactly the most nimble guy in the world either.
14:07My name is Jimmy Corderas.
14:08At the time of Hell in a Cell,
14:10I was part of the ring crew and also a referee.
14:13I was backstage watching on the monitors,
14:16and Gerald Briscoe was the one who produces there.
14:19I had the best seat in the house,
14:21sat right in front of about ten monitors watching everything.
14:25So you were, like, basically sitting in the captain's seat
14:28during Hell in a Cell?
14:29I was the pilot, baby.
14:31This is probably the first time in 20 years
14:34that I've watched this match.
14:35No one knew what to anticipate,
14:37and I don't think anyone could have ever imagined
14:40what they were going to see.
14:41Hello again, everybody!
14:43I'm Jim Ross alongside Jerry the King Lawler!
14:46I was as much in the dark as a fan watching at home.
14:49I did want to start the match
14:51in a way nobody had ever started a match before,
14:54and 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 the cage.
15:04I think there's a little bit of shock on everybody's face.
15:06Like, he's going up now?
15:08He'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.
15:16I mean, he needs therapy.
15:18I had not been on top of the Cell.
15:20I assured Mr. McMahon and The Undertaker,
15:22oh, 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!
15:30He may fall off that cell!
15:33The entire time The Undertaker's music is playing,
15:35I'm thinking to myself,
15:37how can I gracefully climb down this cell
15:41without ruining my career?
15:44Wait a minute.
15:45Do you think he's daring The Undertaker
15:47to start this match up there?
15:49I thought it was a hell of a way to start.
15:51Apparently, the Hell in a Cell match
15:53is officially underway.
15:55It created a theater of the mind
15:57that one could not get past.
15:59He's there! He's there!
16:01Something's going to happen.
16:03What's going to happen?
16:05They had attached the top section of the cage
16:09with zip ties.
16:11But there's 600 pounds of human beings up there.
16:16The Undertaker and I all take a step,
16:18and that mesh goes down by about a foot.
16:21Oh, my gosh! Look at this! It broke through!
16:23And I literally hear zip ties springing.
16:26Boom!
16:27They're destroying the hell in the cell!
16:29When those zip ties were popping off,
16:31I thought, oh, boy, this is not good.
16:34I attempt to suplex The Undertaker
16:37on top of that mesh.
16:38He cut that off knowing that, you know,
16:41there was a decent chance
16:42we were both going to go through it.
16:44Undertaker fighting back!
16:45They're throwing punches,
16:46and they got towards the edge of the cage
16:48where the announce tables were.
16:50I thought when they got close to the edge,
16:52there's just no way in hell
16:53that Nick's going to take a tumble
16:54off the top of the cage.
16:56That's too dangerous.
16:58That's too iffy.
17:00There's very little margin for error.
17:02I look at this incredibly small table,
17:06like a little dollhouse.
17:09I don't know how in the world
17:11it's going to work out.
17:13And lo and behold,
17:17the closer they got to the edge of the cage,
17:19the more I became convinced
17:20that something big is going to happen here momentarily.
17:23And it did.
17:29Then all of a sudden...
17:35Here's Jim Ross,
17:36and here's Jerry Lawler,
17:37as well as the Spanish announcers.
17:39And they're looking up,
17:41and a 300-pound human being
17:44is flung at them
17:45from almost 20 feet above them.
17:47And he's coming at them fast.
17:49As strange as it sounds,
17:51it felt like it was going by in slow motion.
17:53It also went by in the blink of an eye.
17:55All of a sudden, you hear this...
17:59God, this crash!
18:01Oh my God!
18:02He's broken in half!
18:03Oh, did you shit?
18:04Did we just see what we thought we saw?
18:05The sound of Nick going through the announcer table
18:07was scary as hell.
18:08Every one of us in the back,
18:09we just exploded in concern.
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.
18:23Look at that, look at this.
18:23Give me a break.
18:24It was like witnessing a car accident.
18:28Ooyah Will thought he was dead.
18:30We need doctors out here.
18:32Folks, we apologize.
18:33This match has stopped, dead in his tracks.
18:35In a business filled with crazy, strange things,
18:39nobody 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!
19:03They got him running!
19:05They got him running!
19:06They killed him!
19:06We had two young children at the time,
19:09and they didn't know what to think of it.
19:15All I kept saying was,
19:17oh, it's fake just to sue 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, a little too short,
19:39that's falling from God knows how high onto concrete,
19:43or could have even landed on fans.
19:45The pain would come later.
19:47I'm kind of flying high on adrenaline, and I've pulled off this pretty lofty goal.
19:53I mean, going through the table could not have gone better.
19:56He saw it in his head, and in mid-air, he turned in such a way that he was able to land flat on that announced desk
20:05to cushion that fall and not kill him.
20:07And when it did happen, you should have heard the voices back there.
20:11Replay that.
20:13And 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.
20:27Because it was my friend out there, and being torn with the rule that you don't step in,
20:35you don't interfere with whatever Mick was trying to construct.
20:39The fans were literally having this guy laying at their feet,
20:43and 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,
21:01right 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,
21:15and 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 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.
21:38You probably wouldn't enjoy it.
21:40But he could, he could put you back in place.
21:46No matter what the malady was,
21:48hey, ah, baby, I fix you.
21:49I fix you, baby.
21:50It'll be okay.
21:52You're going to have to put him back mid-forty, of course.
21:55He was my number one patient, if I can't say something like that.
21:59Dr. Francois Petit.
22:01Well, hell, this is nuts, what he did.
22:06He fell on his back badly, and on top of that, on a dislocated shoulder.
22:12The 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?
22:35I realized that the longer I'm on there,
22:38the more fully the audience is engaged.
22:42I've never seen anything like that in my life.
22:44Well, I'm not, yeah.
22:45But, ah, I've got a feeling that I'm going to be able to continue.
22:53Everybody was trying to tell him,
22:56no, Mick, you're done, stop.
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 down!
23:16Oh, well, and so is the undertaker!
23:18No way!
23:18I'm thinking, this is going 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,
23:41I'm thinking that was the moment that really made 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,
23:59because it created another moment.
24:01It added to the storyline.
24:04Because sometimes you can storyline yourself right to the hospital.
24:07The next spot in the storyline, pitched by Nick Foley, was far less concerned.
24:13A headbutt by The Undertaker, and a right hand!
24:16At least, at first.
24:18We had already agreed on the one chokeslam,
24:21which we thought would cause the mash to gradually give way.
24:25And 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, there's...
24:34Good God!
24:37Good God!
24:37And now, Houston, we got a problem.
24:40Oh, that's it, he's dead!
24:42I thought that the destruction of the Foley body was well in hand.
24:48Somebody stop the damn man!
24:50Enough's enough!
24:52It was a completely different situation than when he got thrown off the top.
24:57You just, you just know.
24:58I'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,
25:15Oh, Daddy's acting.
25:16Laying there lifeless.
25:19Motionless.
25:19This was not expected at all.
25:23I thought that was the end of him.
25:28If he throws him off on the other side, there's...
25:34When he hit that solid mat...
25:43That ring is not concrete.
25:46The mat doesn't do it justice.
25:48It's more like hitting the cement.
25:49As 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.
26:28We all flooded the cage.
26:29Dr. Francois.
26:30Terry Funk.
26:31The guys that went out there were thinking,
26:34this might be the end.
26:35He was really not responsive at that point.
26:38I turned around and looked at the undertaker.
26:43And I said, okay, that's enough.
26:45Because I saw his eyes not answering.
26:49Man, he'd 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.
27:03Terry reports back, he's still breathing.
27:06There 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.
27:17Stop 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 Nick Fultz.
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.
27:32And Terry did the chokeslam for a couple.
27:35If I'd ever seen a match that should have been stopped, that was probably the one.
27:40But he just didn't do it back then.
27:42He just got chokeslammed out of his shoes.
27:44We 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.
28:17As the clouds began to clear, I was all about trying to create an image for TV.
28:23I've got a massive wound underneath my lip.
28:26And if I can find a way to take my tongue, stick it through that massive wound,
28:30it's going to make for a great TV moment.
28:33Oh my.
28:34And he's smiling.
28:35There's the tooth.
28:37There's the tooth.
28:38How do you get hit in the face with a chair and it knocks your tooth out and it ends up
28:43in your nostril?
28:44One 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?
28:54Maybe 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.
29:02Run!
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.
29:12What is that?
29:13Go, tacks.
29:16Uh-uh.
29:20This was their first appearance in WWE.
29:23I felt like I should be the guy to bring him over.
29:26There goes tacks.
29:28Don't kill me.
29:29Wait a minute.
29:30No!
29:31No!
29:31No!
29:31No!
29:31No!
29:32No!
29:32Yeah, Mick's purposely rolling around to make sure he gets all the thumbtacks on him
29:36as much as possible.
29:37Hey, guys!
29:39No!
29:40No!
29:40No!
29:41No!
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.
29:49Mick is very big about come hell or high water, whatever it is, he will see it through.
29:55Finally, the 17-minute match comes to an end, with The Undertaker defeating mankind.
30:06What a spectacle it was.
30:08In that Pittsburgh Civic Arena, 16,000 people.
30:12We've never seen anything like this before.
30:16They brought the stretcher up because we thought it was needed for sure.
30:18But 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,
30:48and 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.
31:01Thank God this is over.
31:03We kept taking these chances, and another chance, and another chance.
31:07And for why.
31:09As long as I live, I will never forget what we just witnessed right there, folks.
31:14He 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.
31:31And a few hours later, Mick calls me.
31:34She was screaming at me, your children thought you were dead.
31:41I think prior to the cell, she prepared by trusting that I wasn't going to do anything to jeopardize the family.
31:49Standing on your face.
31:50Standing on your face.
31:50Standing on your face.
31:50After that, it became a big concern.
31:53When Mick came back through the curtain, I mean, everybody rushed up and wanted to check on him and 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 is just plucking him out of him right now.
32:33When you love somebody and you respect him as much as I did Mick, my first thought was, are you okay? Are you really okay?
32:42I don't think he truly anticipated how severe that was going to be.
32:48Like that night, I had to help him get undressed and then into bed.
32:53You know, he was messed up on that one.
32:56I think it was 15 stitches underneath the lip.
33:00Lost these two teeth.
33:01I don't even know if I was treated for a concussion.
33:04I had a bruised kidney for about six weeks.
33:07My jaw was dislocated.
33:09I can't remember which shoulder was dislocated.
33:12But you know what?
33:13That match changed the way people felt about me.
33:17And 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.
33:37Oh, hell yeah! Let go!
33:39The reaction, the pop, the adrenaline, the rush.
33:43The more he did, the more risks he took.
33:45It made me worry.
33:47The bar kept just going up because it was never good enough.
33:51I think he felt like he had to live up to being the hardcore legend, continuing things that he probably shouldn't have.
34:01Mick, 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.
34:09He owed it to the people to do something that they hadn't seen before.
34:17I 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.
34:25He understood, but he didn't agree with me.
34:29Just seven months later, Mick Foley again pushes his limits, this time in a brutal showdown with The Rock in the infamous I Quit match.
34:39No stopping the match for excessive blood loss.
34:46I 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 was going to be all right.
35:04He was one of the worst days of my life.
35:09I had both children with me. It was super brutal from the beginning.
35:14I got carried away with The Rock. I had told him, lay it in.
35:19Mick Foley is barely moving, and now The Rock has handcuffs. What the hell is he going to do now?
35:24He did.
35:27But instead of taking five shots, I took 11 shots.
35:30No! What the hell is Mick Foley doing?
35:35His 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? What 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.
36:08Part of me thinks it's because it was very traumatic to me.
36:13Like, how could these 11 shots change my dad's health?
36:19Like, if you were to get 11 headshots, a normal person probably could have died.
36:25It's sickening, honestly. I really, really hate the I Quit match.
36:31Mick always wanted to over-deliver. And somewhere down the road, all of us need to ask ourselves the
36:38question, was it worth it?
36:39I understood that the style I chose was going to result in great discomfort.
36:48There were so many times when I could have made a move less painful, but I chose not to because I
36:55thought it would look better.
36:56There were a handful of doctors saying that you need to stop now. If you continue wrestling,
37:03you'll wind up crippled. Do you think that stopped him?
37:07I still thought I had one good match left in me.
37:13And so I set about trying to delay the inevitable.
37:17There were times when he should not have been wrestling. He shouldn't have been cleared.
37:26He'd drive around and not remember where he lived.
37:32It's concussion on top of concussion on top of concussion.
37:36My appointment with the WWE neurologist had not gone particularly well.
37:42So I booked an appointment independent of WWE. I'll never forget what he told me. He said,
37:46Mr. Foley, if you want to try to find another neurologist to clear you, that's up to you.
37:51But I'm telling you, you should never wrestle again.
37:56If you've pushed those physical limits like Mick has, yeah, you're definitely going to pick a price.
38:02And sadly, Mick is paying that price right now.
38:06Back then, we didn't know the long-term effects of concussions. When guys take a bump, they have an
38:22impact in the ring. Similar to experiencing a 25-mile-per-hour car accident.
38:28I can only imagine the type of pain that Mick has to live with.
38:34Wait a minute, wait a minute. The referee's calling for help.
38:36He's paid the price for all this fame. Mick is very special, and he's lucky he's still with us.
38:42He's done. He's done.
38:42CTE is a very scary disease. That is a long-term effect of repetitive concussions and brain trauma.
38:54We 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. Every day,
39:06I worry about that. The fallout from what I've done, I 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.
39:19But I'm going to fight it. I'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. It's like mental gymnastics for my mind.
39:31And I hear the crowd chanting, Undertaker.
39:37Putting 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. So I'm going to continue to enjoy myself.
39:51He lived his dream. He made his dream. He needs to feel accepted, especially around his legacy.
40:05I 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.
40:17We dress up in wild costumes and engage in a fantasy form of combat that leaves a lot of us
40:24in worse condition than we arrived at. And we do it to earn the acceptance of total strangers.
40:34For me, it was all about three actions. The eyes lighting up, my desire to be authentic.
40:40I definitely wanted to be loved. All the sacrifices you put your physique through just for the roar of them.
40:55I like that roar. You can't say that's a fault without also admitting that it's responsible for my success.
41:03Mick Foley is known for many things. He's a multiple time champion. He's donated time and energies to charities.
41:13But what he's known for is hell in a cell.
41:15For years, I really harbored some resentment for that match. Because it was the only thing that I was known for.
41:30I was in a dark place for a while. On one hand, I knew I'd done a lot in wrestling. On the other hand,
41:36I felt like I'd accomplished nothing at all. The Undertaker and I, we were reminiscing and he says,
41:42you know, Jack, what we did that night will outlive us both. That was a major step in embracing
41:49that moment. That's what I got into wrestling for, to try to create moments like that.
41:57I 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. The audience is coming to be in awe.
42:08Because few people in the world can put you in awe. And those people do. This is the beauty of it.
42:15Me and my dad, we were at the WWE warehouse and we came across the cell.
42:35My dad certainly wasn't expecting to see it.
42:37He touched it and he just started tearing up and started crying.
42:48I've never seen my dad cry. For something to make him cry must have been really important
42:58and life-changing and also probably pretty scary. Like this could have, this could have been it.
43:12I'm lucky I'm here after that. There'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. But I can't tell you with certainty
43:26that I would have done things different if I had known that. I felt like the world had offered me
43:33this canvas to create surreal, sublime performance art. There were some bumps in the road, but it was a
43:41pretty magical way to make a living. On certain nights when things were really good,
43:46it was one of the most powerful feelings in the world.
