Mick doesn't give himself enough credit. He wasn't just along for the ride in the Attitude Era. He helped shape it. I argue that the peak of the Attitude Era was when he won the WWF title on Raw from the Rock. Or at the very least, it certainly was one of the most iconic and defining moments of the Attitude Era.
I think, in a way, that Mick was the most important part of the AE era. Almost every main eventer had to go through him to get to that next level. Even his worst stories were great because he always figured how to steal the show 🤘
@shaunhodder622 Exactly! He had storylines/rivalries/matches with Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H, Undertaker, Kane, and Vince. Those were the TOP guys at the time. Some of the most memorable moments included Mick. Whether it was the Hell in a Cell match, the Rock and Sock Connection, the I Quit match, the Street Fight against Triple H, etc.
Mick and the Rock doing the This is your life segment is the highest rated non wrestling segment in wrestling history. People loved the Rock N Sock connection.
I remember Mankind was a top character for me back then, he was so weird and crazy and he fought with no care for his own safety and at the same time he was so loveable.
This video actually made something become clear to me: wrestling needs more managers. The new age managers arent bad, but the only one with the type of oomf that MANY once had, is really the guy from that era still doing it: heyman.
@@theothesirso are the great workers like brooklyn brawler barry horowitz we need more of those everybody wants the superstar status nobody recognizes the importance of great managers and great workers for the industry anymore
I hated him so much growing up and I’m glad I got reinvested enough as an adult to look at behind the scenes and the interviews like this so I can see how much he genuinely has done for the company. It makes so much sense now why it was even taker and heyman all along
It felt like for such a long time that fans had forgotten Mankind was The Undertakers great threat and watching it as it happened week by week, pay per view after pay per view is one of my favourite wrestling memories
Seeing Hbks face when he realizes the end of his true run is over vs taker is probably mine. Plus that ppv was actually aired on cable so I got to see that after having to catch up on events after the fact. I wish I was old enough to see more of foley
Mick is a natural storyteller. So glad Vince agreed to the Mankind concept. In my opinion, the Attitude Era started when Mankind and Goldust broke through
The Undertaker and Mankind rivalry is my favorite rivalry in wrestling its just two incredible characters trying to destroy one another. I consider it the Batman/Joker rivalry.
According to Taker, he isn't afraid of them, he just ate too many cucumbers soaked in vinegar when he was a little kid and got super sick. Ever since, he had just straight up hated them as it makes him sick by even the smell of them.
One of the most underrated performers in WWE history. WCW spoils Foley’s world title win on Nitro and EVERYONE changed the channel to Raw! Mick is a treasure
Mick Foley is a legend who stole the show every time I saw him on the television. He was always the biggest ham on the roster no matter what gimmick he was in that day. Unforgettable, fun, good on the mic and in the ring!
The image of a spooky Hurse pulling up to a McDonald's window and undertaker rolling the window in full get up in a deep slow tone "you forgot my fries" making some 16 year old wet themselves has me rolling
I loved Cactus Jack he's who I think of when I think of this person. That era of wrestling was actual entertainment. It felt like anything could happen. New wrestlers now need something fun to spice up the show I cannot think of a single one.
Mick went to Clark's Trading Post almost every year here in NH. I saw a picture of him w/his family there and they told me. Didn't get to see him there though. Dang it....
So that boiler room brawl took place at the Gund Arena in Cleveland. The Saturday before the PPV Mark Callaway and William Mooney were signing autographs as Undertaker and Paul Bearer at the Super K in Lorain, Ohio (where the Meijer is now). My family had it scheduled for over a month to go to Geauga Lake (now closed amusement park) and I never hated being at an amusement park moreso than that day. I just wanted an autograph from a wrestler.
Amazing guy. Comes across as very genuine and great just like undertaker. Hated his character mankind when I was a kid though because I definitely bought into the kayfabe 😁
Taker told the story of why he hates cucumbers. When he was a kid, one day he came home from school and his mom had sliced up some cucumber and had it soaking in vinegar. He ate the whole thing and it made him violently ill, so from that day on he hated cucumbers. That's how I am with sweet potato, quite the traumatic incident, but to this day anything made with sweet potato nauseates me.
0:58 Mick is so spot on…my first wwf show was when I was 8 years old and one of the very few things I remember about that night vividly, was Undertakers entrance and the purple lights. The only other thing I remember was Owen hart wrestling Razor Ramon where it appeared like Owen beat Razor for the IC title but apparently he cheated, so the match restarted and Razor got the win
That’s kinda surprising that he would say Taker was really close to leaving for WCW since Taker has said multiple times that he never really considered leaving WWE
Some people are wired differently who have a natural aversion to cucumbers which make them taste absolutely disgusting. Often it has a similar effect with melon as well - I believe something to do with the pollen involved. I didn’t believe it but my boss at work was the same and could detect anything that had been in contact with cucumber. We tested it by wiping cucumber over his keyboard and mouse when he was away from his desk and lo and behold it was real and he hated it!
Its so sad to hear vince said that about mick bc hes an attractive human being. Look at his younger photos with the go-t. Its literally just a beard that makes him look grizzly. I mean look at his wife for god sakes.
Mark told a story about him and BSK going out to dinner and Will (Paul Barer) had put a slice of cucumber 🥒 at the bottom of his glass which he saw once he took a drink 😂.
Oddly, I have the same visceral reaction to cucumbers. So did Oscar Wilde. So, amusingly, do cats. I feel uncomfortable if there’s any cucumber in the same room as me.
does that mean that The Undertaker would vomit if he spotted me? My mum only ate cucumber when she was pregnant with me so I guess I am more cucumber than human
Why was there no compeditor that not even once, had the thought to do anything when the cage was locked, then disrobe as cucumber man? See how fast he moves and climbs and vomits!
They probably edited down the red in his face for the thumbnail, by bringing down the red value for the photo the green pixels on your screen activate more and make it look green.
Vince was always an idiot. Once you listen to enough of the guys who made it big you realize it was always them, or someone else other than Vince convincing him different that was the reason they got over.
Well the first video you recently posted was a complete regurgitation word for word of the same stories he’s already told on your shows before - so hopefully this isn’t another 20 plus minutes of the same word for word stories
Just imagine if Mankind had used a cucumber instead of his finger for the mandible claw I don’t know if the Undertaker would’ve been sick, run away screaming or just fainted from fear! I just know their Hell In The Cell match at 98 King Of The Ring would’ve been very different if Mankind had a cucumber, Undertaker might of jumped off the cell instead of Mankind 🥒🤢🤮🏃🏼♂️
Can anyone in the comments shed some light on the Cactus Jack/Travis Scott situation. They have to be paying mick right? They’re making millions off his name smh
Why do I have the feeling that everyone in the crowd is sitting Indian style on the floor like they are at an elementary school assembly??? It takes an unhealthy obsession to spend money to listen to stories that you’ve already heard live lol. No disrespect Mick. To all the grown adults yes disrespect intended

Gotta be when he held up the American flag at WM for his nephew
when he came out of that flaming casket with full beard against randy
out of millions of moments, him and mankind hell in a cell stands alone
Undertaker popping his hand out from the grave at the end of the Buried Alive match against Mankind.
Hell in the Cell with Mick Foley and Fire in the Ring with Kane are just two memorable matches of the Undertaker!!!!
You can see him thinking "Am I jeopardizing one of my longest and most cherished friendships by answering that one??"
That’s why he pivoted completely 😂😂

mankind was sick too!
Thanks!

3:33 Undertaker's mom made some cucumber slices and vinegar, he ate the entire large bowl. It made him sick.
So now we know why his and Kane's childhood home REALLY got burnt down.....
Mick is an amazing story teller!!
Anyone else here after seeing the
"6 feet under" podcast where taker is talking about his problem with cucumbers xD 😅😅😅😅

I have it on good authority DDP’s ACTUAL words to Bischoff started with:
“BRO BRO BRO BRO…BRO…BRO…BRO”

I need to see a meme with a cat and the Undertaker jumping in the air after witnessing a scary cuke.
Massive respect and love for Mick Foley ❤️
Love the fact Mick gets a cheap pop in right here in Glasgow Scotland 😅
The undertaker riding the motorcycle during his dead time which was pretty sic and entertaining!!!!!

Getting flown off the hell in a cell cage by the Undertaker cemented his legacy & made Mick Foley a superstar
He was goated by hard-core fans already. His debut match you hear the ecw fans chant he's hard-core he's hard-core
