Mick Foley would return for another of the most dramatic main events in WWF/WWE history just a few years later. At the Royal Rumble 2000, Foley, as Cactus Jack pieced together a stunning Street Fight with Triple H. That match wouldn't headline the show, but there was little doubt that their Hell In A Cell encounter at No Way Out would. Going in, the stipulation was that Foley would have to retire if he lost. In many ways, this telegraphed the result, but fans weren't thinking that way at the time. The WWF Heavyweight Title was on the line, and there were high hopes that Cactus Jack could capture it. This was the entire beauty of the Cell match, because fans desperately wanted Mick Foley to shut Triple H up once and for all. Even though their favourite lost, fans didn't go home disappointed. Due to his massive bumps at King Of the Ring 1998, there was no way Foley wasn't going to try and top himself here. Backdropped through the top of the cage, Mick thumped through the ring canvas. It looked spectacular, and painted a poignant image for the supposed fall of his career. Upon losing, the man shed tears alongside his fans on the entrance ramp.
