Did the Undertaker/Mankind practice the spot from Hell in a Cell?

[Riley Escobar]

They were both planned. The thing that fukked Foley up was the chair landing on his face after being chokeslammed through the Cell. When he eventually gets up, Taker punches him and he just CRUMBLES. Foley said that was the only time he's ever been knocked out totally during a match.

Undertaker wrestled the whole match with a broken ankle as well

Both of them are status

U can see Taker's reaction after he threw him in the cell..it was like ..he didnt know how to react...Foley said in his book that he told him that he thought he was dead. shyt Lawler said the same shyt "That's it he's dead.."

To this DAY I don't know WHY or HOW Foley continued the match..and proceeded to get slammed on fukking thumbtacks and shyt

THEN he came out later that night just to get hit by a steel chair from Austin...

Foley said in his first book that he don't remember much about the match, only thing he remembered was getting thrown off the cell and that's about it..he had to watch the tape just so he can regain some of his memory..

Foley gained my respect that day

 

[Riley Escobar]

Foley also made mention in the book of a rather humorous exchange he and Undertaker had while being checked out more thoroughly by Dr. Pettit in the backstage area. Foley, still somewhat dazed from the concussion he sustained, turned to the Undertaker and asked "Did I use the thumbtacks?", which was a staple of a number of Foley's early matches. The Undertaker looked at him and rather sternly replied "Look at your arm, Mick!", at which point Foley discovered a significant number of thumbtacks still lodged in his arm.

Found this:

Even though the fall from the cage was planned and well executed, Terry Funk and Vince McMahon broke kayfabe at the time, both were involved in feuds with Mankind to come down ringside and check on Foley's condition. Later, Foley would claim that he had introduced the idea of the throw from the top of the cage earlier in the day; the wrestler portraying Undertaker, Mark Calaway, at first resisted, asking him, "Mick, do you want to die?", but reluctantly agreed.

As he was being wheeled up the aisle, Mankind got off of the gurney, and, despite a dislocated shoulder, walked back towards the ring and climbed back on top of the cage, much to the delight of the fans. The match continued, even though the roof of the cage was buckling under both of them with every step they took.


Mankind's second fall through the roof of the CellDuring the ensuing fight, The Undertaker chokeslammed Mankind on the roof of the cage. Unlike the throw from the top of the cell, what happened next was not planned or even anticipated by either Foley or Calaway, as the section of the cage roof that Foley landed on gave way and Foley fell hard into the ring where he suffered a concussion and was knocked out cold for around a minute and a half. Power Slam wrestling magazine claims that this second fall was also planned, and in Have A Nice Day, Foley does not specifically claim that this was unplanned, and he also states that he and Calaway hoped that it might cause a slight break in the cage. The weight from the two wrestlers (almost 600 pounds) on top of the cage both before and after Foley's fall was said to be a key reason for the collapse of the cage. Making matters worse, the ring was one of the older style rings used by the WWF, which had less give to its surface so as to make the matches more realistic looking on television. In addition to the fall, a steel chair lying on the roof of the cage fell through and struck Foley in the face, dislocating his jaw and knocking out one and a half teeth as well as creating a large cut beneath his lip

EDIT: In the end, the match left Foley with a dislocated jaw, a dislocated shoulder, a bruised kidney, 2 broken ribs, one and a half missing teeth, a concussion, and 14 stitches for the cut beneath his lip. He took 2 months to recover, and the match almost certainly helped shorten his active wrestling career.

the cage was suppose to slowly break and Foley fall thru. Not chokeslammed thru the top.

glad to say my city holds claim to the GOAT pro wrestling match




but i was too young to go

 

[jackswstd]

Being that Foley isn't a vegetable I'd say no.

I remember in Taker's This Is My Yard DVD, when he threw Mick off the top of the cell, that shyt was planned. Taker was like are you sure, then said and damn near killed Mick by tossing his ass off the top of the cell. To hear JR and King, you could have sworn that Mick Foley was dead; hell Vince and Terry Funk broke kayfabe and came out to see if Mick was alright. The bump that Mick took through the cell wasn't planned; well, the fact that the cell gave way and he went through it when he ate that chokeslam wasn't(plus the chair to his face). Just the fact that Mick wrestled that match with a concussion and Taped Fist Taker was going on a broken ankle
