Mick Foley's career wouldn't be the same without Hell In A Cell.
Hell In A Cell was forever immortalized at the King Of A Ring event in 1998, as Mick Foley faced The Undertaker in one of the most iconic mathces in wrestling history.
As eeveryone knows, Foley took two brutal spots during the match. In the first spot, Undertaker tossed Mick Foley off the top of the cage and sent him crashing through the ringside announce table. The second spot saw Undertaker chokeslam Foley through the top of the structure, sending him crashing down to the mat.
While speaking with Forbes for a new interview, Foley stated that his legacy wouldn't be the same without the match.
“It wouldn’t be the same. It really put an exclamation point on my career. I’m really fortunate to go around and do these Comic-Cons and I can do a one-man show on my own and have really enjoyable good years. I don’t know if I could do that. I think that match elevated me to a spot that otherwise I would not have had.”
Foley even went on to say that he doesn't know if he would've ended up beating The Rock without having the Undertaker match on his resume.
“I was definitely a respected and valuable property, but I was kinda of just a really hardworking journeyman up until that match. I don’t know if I would’ve had the victory over The Rock for the WWE Title had it not been for that match.”
