On this day 20 years ago, Mankind has a nice day

[Tommy Fits]

I thought commentary was great that night

We all know Cole is no JR, but to me his call after Mick won the title is one of the best calls of his career

And Heel Lawler was in his bag

Cole gets shyt on a lot and rightfully so but I always thought his call here was really good and and one of the best of his career. Yeah it wasn't no J.R. but it was still good

Cole commentary on this and when The Streak was broken

Mankind was one of my favs and I had maybe my 3rd biggest markout of my life. My 9 year old self also was salty Rock lost, but Mankind winning after them building this shyt up to this point was lit. Also led to the fukkery of the Empty Arena match

I still get teary eyed when I run it back on the Network. There are moments in time that can vividly take you back to the how things were in real time, this is one of those moments

I couldn't imagine them now a days doing something so captivating, they couldn't even come close to this on their best day in this current era.

I couldn't imagine them now a days doing something so captivating, they couldn't even come close to this on their best day in this current era.

Even if they did, the commentary would completely ruin the moment.

“Oh my!”

YouTuber EmpLemon did a video citing Foley's win as one the GOAT moments. Here it is if anyone wants to watch:

Still remember reading the report on Rajahwwf.com in the school library.

One of the last times I ever let myself read spoilers. Remember realising what I'd allowed myself to miss out on INSTANTLY

ah, i remember the days i used to stay up to watch raw or pay per views at 3 am till 6 and then fall asleep at 7 in the classroom
good times.

couldn't tell you anything wrestling related about nowadays, except that saudi's sit on sofas in their arenas and the women are outperforming the men,i was told.

the women are the better wrestlers and promo cutters. they still aren't headlining properly due to sexism and company politics i suppose but they're getting their respect.

It’s still real to me
