I was hugely into this feud as a teenager. The introduction of Cactus Jack was a big turning point for me as a Foley fan, and for a long time Cactus was my favourite wrestler in the entire world. When the New Age Outlaws tossed Cactus and Chainsaw Charlie off the stage as they lay prone in a dumpster, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what had happened to my heroes.

All of this led to a Dumpster Match between the two teams at WrestleMania XIV, with the tag team titles on the line. Looking back, it was this feud that gave the Outlaws the credibility that they needed at the time. Foley and Funk were willing to bump big time for BA Billy Gunn and the Road Dogg, making them look legitimate in the process.

The match between the two teams at WrestleMania XIV certainly wasn't a technical classic, but neither did it need to be. It was a violent plunderfest typical of the time, with two of the all-time greats going up against two young upstarts. Cactus and Charlie pulled out the win in the end, but their joy was shortlived as the Outlaws regained the titles the next night on RAW. 12-year-old me was gutted.
