As God is my witness, he is broken in half!€ €“ Jim Ross It wasn€™t even the main event of the 1998 King of the Ring PPV, but afterwards, there was only one match that people were talking about. The Hell in a Cell match with The Undertaker was the defining moment of Mick Foley€™s career and set an impossible standard for any future Hell in a Cell matches. As the deranged Mankind made his entrance, he climbed to the top of the Cell and waited for The Undertaker to arrive. Taker accepted the challenge, and climbed up to meet him. A few minutes later, after a brawl that saw the two of them wobbling as they tried to keep their footing on the mesh, Foley was flung off the top of the cage and through the announcers€™ tables some 15 feet below. According to Foley€™s autobiography, Have A Nice Day, this was something that Foley had thought of while brainstorming ideas with his good friend Terry Funk. After a five minute delay while Mankind was given medical attention, the announcers (and the fans) assumed that the match was over. Then an unmasked Mankind came hobbling back down the aisle with a twisted grin on his face, and climbed to the top of the cage again. Undertaker followed. A few moments later, Foley was chokeslammed on top of the cage, which gave way, resulting in Mankind plummeting to the canvas several feet below, with a nearby chair striking him in the head as he fell. He was legitimately knocked out. Terry Funk, already at ringside, having checked on Foley after his initial fall, bought his friend some time by being attacked by Taker, who literally chokeslammed him out of his shoes. Foley eventually came around, with one of his bottom teeth piercing his upper lip and ending up inside his nostril, wondering what the hell a pair of somebody else€™s trainers was doing in the middle of the ring. The match continued, and two bumps into some thumb tacks later on almost seemed tame compared to what the crowd had already witnessed Foley endure. A Tombstone later and the 17 minute match was over. Never before had such a hardcore, graphic match been seen in the WWE. This was the epitome of the Attitude era. As Mick Foley left the ring, miraculously under his own steam, his legend had been secured forever.
