    The funniest part is Mick Foley just waiting under the ring for his cue that never came

      Plot twist it wasnt the chair shots that made him insane or even losing his ear... it was being forgotten about by his boss... by the time he came out the ring the arena was empty and everyone had flown home.. legend has it the real mick foley is still there waiting on vince to pick him up... he is now known as.......... The RAKE

    If I’m not mistaken, the original PPV is actually considered lost media since the footage of the matches that were filmed using the temporary equipment has yet to surface in full.

    I always find this story amazing because my mom and dad were actually at this pay per view live when this all happened. My mom was aware of the storm outside, but at first she thought it was supposed to be a scripted lights out until the emergency lights came on.

    Funny, I was 15 at the time, and this was the first PPV I talked my mother into buying for me. Not the best experience, but I did find it cool that they made up for it a few days later (and honestly the strap match in the replay was pretty amazing)

    13:16 So basically the biggest draw in wwf history arguably, and the person who ended WCW's ratings winning streak, all started from a mediocre ppv that had a power outtage, as well as a good performance against Savio Vega of all people.

    I always hated the twisted narrative of Triple H being 'in the doghouse'. He did jobs for a few months and then they made him Intercontinental Champion and gave him a valet, even giving that one three tries, as neither Mr. Perfect nor Mr. Hughes worked out.
