5 Wrestlers Who Regretted Inventing Wrestling Moves

5. Mick Foley - Falling Off The Cell

In the years since, Mick Foley has spoken candidly about how he seriously regretted innovating his infamous Hell in a Cell fall, having taken the tumble twice during his epic encounter with The Undertaker at King of the Ring '98, first careening wildly into the announce table and latterly, accidentally, through the roof of the structure.

It makes perfect sense. Not only did he suffer a series of injury that reads like Gray's Anatomy, including a dislocated jaw, puncture wounds and internal bleeding, but he encouraged a subsequent generation of superstars to repeat and ultimately top his top-of-the-cage topple. Few have incurred physical trauma on the same scale of the original, but the returns have diminished to the point that any potential damage is no longer worth it.

Yet this isn't why Foley regrets his double-header against gravity. The Hall of Famer latterly admitted that he resented the stunt defining him as a glorified tumbler for the rest of his career - even if it was one of the most memorable moments in the history of the industry.
