1. Mick Foley "Basically" Leaves The Cage Under His Own Power
Mick Foley stays on that back board for a matter of seconds before draping his arm around referees and being assisted in walking to the back. Mick Foley just became Captain America in that match. Is a superhero carried away on his shield after losing the battle? No. He gets up, dusts himself off, and makes sure that his arch enemy sees him standing so that he knows that he's living to fight another day. The whole crowd realizing this and chanting "FOLEY" in approval? Awesome, and ultimately the sickest "spot" in the whole match. The idea that this would pretty much be eclipsed via The Rock and Mankind at the Royal Rumble seven months later feels pretty much like the most frightening thing ever.
