Many of his matches with Kurt Angle, Triple H and Austin have gone down as classics but it is perhaps his epic battles with Mankind which deserve the most praise. Both men represented complete opposites: Foley was the goofy, cheery face and Rock was the serious, athletically-built heel. People werent sure if theyd work well together. Mankind put absolutely everything on the line in every match, while Rock was more showy and clinical. It worked though, and at Royal Rumble 99 they put on one of the best matches ever to be held at the PPV. The build-up had been around whether Mankind would give Rock another chance at the gold. He finally accepted but only on the condition that the match would be an I Quit match, a type of bout which is remembered as one of the most brutal. People were curious though: how would Rock get Mankind to say I Quit? The match was barbaric and brilliant in equal measure. They tore each other to shreds and the brutality was evident by Foleys familys reactions in the famous documentary Beyond the Mat. It was an epic encounter, which ended up suspicious circumstances, but undoubtedly proved that The Rock was not only a popular star but also a top wrestler.
