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

[Reggie]

In retrospect it is damn near a miracle that one or both of these guys didn't get severely hurt or brain damaged. This was one of the most brutal matches ever and maybe the most brutal spot ever. I don't think they practiced it, i just think Mick Foley was that much of psycho in the ring.

This match was the turning point in wcw vs wwf for me. Saw this match and finally was like.."yea wcw isnt better anymore"..

This match gave mick the belt..he deserved it too. I actually felt bad and i went into the match wanting to see him get destroyed so I was also in shock like the others have stated..I thought itd be micks last match and that wwf was screwing him by booking the punishment to him that they did. Thought it was a contract dispute honestly cuz I just didnt get it. This match actually forever made taker a heel to me, especially in light of the fact that he didnt get nearly the damage that mick got...didnt know bout that broken ankle..sounds revisionist


His whole career was justified by the greatness of this match, and it was a shrewd move by mick to go through with it all at the end of the day, but those injuries during the match

Someone said he came in to the mach with the ankle, but I think he actually injured himself when he jumped down from the top of the cage

You can actually see where he fukked it up so I don't think it's revisionist. Also, he got a few thumbtacks for his trouble so...

On top of everything else, it was one of the greatest Jim Ross calls EVER.

But rehearsed? No chance.

WILL SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MATCH

Sad thing is...despite the pain and bumps, the HIAC with HBGOAT and taker was far superior than mick/taker
