Upon debuting with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in Apr 1996, Foley's graphic symbol Flesh immediately began feuding with Calaway's character The Undertaker,[one] [2] and the pair would go on to wrestle a series of matches, beginning with their kickoff PPV match at the King of the Band PPV event in June, followed by the beginning ever Boiler Room Brawl at August's PPV event SummerSlam.[1] [3] During the lucifer Paul Bearer (William Moody), The Undertaker's long time managing director, turned on him by hitting him with an urn, allowing Mankind to utilise the Mandible claw for the win.[1] [3] This twist allowed the rivalry to proceed into October's In Your House 11: Buried Alive PPV event, where the two competed in the titular Buried Alive match in the main event; The Undertaker won the match later a chokeslam into the open grave.[one] [3]

At the post-obit calendar month's Survivor Series PPV event, The Undertaker returned to face Mankind, this time with Bearer hanging 20 ft (half dozen.ane m) above the ring in a steel muzzle, with a stipulation that if The Undertaker won the match, he would be able to exact revenge on Bearer.[2] The Undertaker won the match, but interference from The Executioner (Terry Gordy) enabled Bearer to escape.[2] With no manager, The Undertaker was developed into a more human being character, with a gothic and rebellious attitude, proclaiming himself to be "The Lord of Darkness".[iv] He would win the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 13 in March 1997, and the rivalry with Flesh would be briefly renewed when they competed for the championship at the In Your House xiv: Revenge of the 'Taker PPV result in Apr, with The Undertaker ultimately retaining.[1] [2] [5]

Commentator Jim Ross cites the feud, and Calaway's eagerness to work with Foley, every bit helping persuade Vince McMahon of the merits of Foley and the Mankind character;[6] [seven] McMahon initially had no desire on bringing Foley into the WWF, describing his style equally "degrading" and thought Foley himself lacked whatever talent,[8] just eventually relented to pressure level from Ross, who had personally known Foley from their fourth dimension at rival promotion World Title Wrestling (WCW).[9] Foley had get famous for wrestling a violent and "hardcore" style,[10] [eleven] and in 1995 had been crowned "King of the Deathmatch" past Japanese promotion International Wrestling Association (IWA) at their Kawasaki Dream event, defeating Terry Funk in a tournament concluding,[12] a friction match Foley has said he is the nigh proud of.[thirteen] In regards to Foley's hazard taking, one-time WCW executive producer Eric Bischoff stated that, when Foley had worked for him in the early '90s, he "wanted to get more concrete and more tearing, bloodier, and more over the top" and that he had a "bizarre nighttime side that he needed to explore and feed".[14]

Beginning Hell in a Cell lucifer [edit]

The Hell in a Cell structure

The first Hell in a Prison cell match took place at the WWF'south Badd Claret: In Your House PPV event in October 1997, and was between Shawn Michaels (Michael Hickenbottom) and The Undertaker. The Hell in a Cell match concept was the brainchild of Jim Cornette,[15] and according to Hickenbottom was inspired past a 1983 match in Georgia Championship Wrestling betwixt heated rivals Tommy Rich and Fizz Sawyer, known equally the Final Battle of Atlanta.[16] The match was designed to prevent interference from other wrestlers, likewise as to allow for the match and the rivalry to reach a definitive conclusion,[17] with the "cowardly" Shawn Michaels persona spending portions of the match trying to elude The Undertaker. The decision arrived when Kane (Glenn Jacobs), the storyline blood brother of The Undertaker, débuted past tearing down the cell door and costing The Undertaker the match.[17] During the lucifer, Hickenbottom performed a stunt where he dangled off the roof of the prison cell and crashed through the announce tabular array, setting a "dangerous precedent".[17] The match received widespread acclamation, including receiving a rating of 5 stars out of a possible five by professional person wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer for his Wrestling Observer Newsletter.[xviii]

Prelude to the pay-per-view [edit]

On the June 1, 1998, edition of Raw is War, having spent months alternating betwixt the characters of Dude Beloved and Cactus Jack, Foley would revert to the Mankind character,[nineteen] and formed an alliance with Kane. The pair would challenge The Undertaker and WWF champion Stone Cold Steve Austin to the second Hell in a Cell friction match on the June 15 episode of Raw is War, with the lucifer ending in a no contest.[xx] This set up the double chief-effect for the June PPV King of the Ring; Austin and Kane in a Offset Claret match for the championship, while The Undertaker and Mankind would be booked for a Hell in a Cell match. The event was scheduled to have identify at the Borough Loonshit in Pittsburgh, 25 miles (40 km) from Freedom, Pennsylvania, where Foley had trained to go a professional person wrestler at Dominic DeNucci's wrestling school, bringing his career full circumvolve.[21] [22]

According to WWE producer Bruce Prichard, the original program for the PPV was for Mankind to challenge Austin for his championship, before Vince McMahon changed the direction in an attempt to exist unpredictable.[23] Subsequently, the match had petty promotion or storyline building.[24] Calaway went into the match with a fractured ankle, merely was adamant he would go through with the match and stunts as planned,[25] [26] later saying that it was of such smashing importance that he "had to do information technology".[27] Foley credits head-writer Vince Russo for assertive in the Mankind character, giving him conviction heading into the PPV.[xix]

Planning the friction match [edit]

Legendary hardcore wrestler Terry Funk was pivotal in the planning of the friction match.

Before the match, Foley and young man wrestler Terry Funk were in Stamford, Connecticut to watch and discuss the previous yr'southward Hell in a Cell,[19] brainstorming ideas about how to try and top that lucifer,[17] [28] with Funk proverb "maybe you should let him throw you lot off the top of the cage".[23] [29]

"Yeah," I shot back, "and so I could climb back up – and he could throw me off over again". Man, that was a expert i, and nosotros were having a good time thinking completely ludicrous things to do inside, exterior, and on top of the cage. Afterward a while I got serious and said quietly to Terry, "I think I tin exercise information technology."[30] [31]

When presented with the idea of throwing Foley off the peak of the cage, Calaway was hesitant,[xix] going as far as to ask Foley, "Mick, practise you desire to dice?"[23] Writing in his autobiography Have a Nice Twenty-four hours: A Tale of Claret and Sweatsocks, Foley recalls existence asked by Calaway near why he wanted to execute the plan, and his response beingness "I'1000 afraid this match gonna stink. You tin can't walk, and, permit's face it, I don't have any heat. We've got a heck of a legacy to alive up to, and I don't want this match to ruin it. If we tin can showtime it out hot enough, we tin brand people think we had a hell of a match, fifty-fifty if we didn't".[32] Ultimately, Calaway reluctantly agreed to perform the spot. Foley sold him on the thought by saying they could non only brainstorm a friction match in a way nobody had ever done, they could then have a unique friction match.[19]

Foley subsequently admitted that he had lied to McMahon, firstly regarding climbing the cell earlier in the twenty-four hours to acclimatise with the state of affairs, likewise every bit nearly his condolement in performing the stunt, reasoning that had he already been on summit of the cell, he "would take realized that getting thrown off was a terrible idea".[26] [33] [34] In a 2018 interview with former wrestling announcer Sean Mooney, match referee Tim White said that although he knew some of the planned moments, he recalled feeling similar he was "having a heart set on through the whole friction match",[35] while commentator Jim Ross remembers hearing rumours backstage of Foley'south plans, but dismissed them as absurd and unrealistic.[36]

Mankind came out first and once he reached the prison cell, he threw a steel folding chair on top of the structure and began to climb to the top.[31] The Undertaker then fabricated his entrance, and followed Mankind by climbing to the top. One time on top of the cell, Foley considered aborting the planned stunt, just speedily inverse his heed, later telling Ross he "wanted to create a moment" for the fans.[29] The pair began exchanging punches and moved towards the edge of the cell.[37] Then, in an "unbelievable moment", The Undertaker grabbed Mankind from behind and threw him from the height of the structure, propelling him 22 ft (vi.7 m) through the air,[38] [26] sending him crashing through the Castilian commentators' tabular array and landing on the concrete floor of the loonshit,[20] [29] [37] which triggered Ross to famously shout, "Good God almighty! Proficient God almighty! They've killed him!"[nb 1] and "As God as my witness, he is broken in one-half!"[17] [39] [40] Ross later on said his reactions were real,[36] [29] [41] and Calaway said he experienced an out-of-trunk feel in the moment, visualising himself watching Mankind fly off the cage.[25] [42] It was seen as extra surprising as stunts involving announce tables are normally telegraphed by a performer removing bulky CRT monitors to protect the recipient.[17]

Flesh remained motionless underneath the broken table, while The Undertaker remained on acme of the cell.[43] Medical personnel came out to check on Foley, equally did Funk and various others,[43] including McMahon who bankrupt kayfabe past looking legitimately worried well-nigh someone his Mr. McMahon grapheme was supposed to dislike.[43] Flesh was placed on a stretcher and began to exist wheeled out of the loonshit.[43] Notwithstanding, Flesh got up from the stretcher and fought off the officials, to climb again onto the top of the jail cell,[37] [43] [26] with The Undertaker doing likewise. After a brief ball, The Undertaker performed a chokeslam on Mankind which sent him through the panel of the concatenation-link muzzle.[37] [43] The steel chair would as well fall through, hit Mankind as information technology landed and knocking him unconscious;[43] [27] it was the first time in his career that he had been legitimately knocked out during a match.[29] On commentary, Ross said "Good God... good God! Volition somebody stop the damn friction match? Enough's enough!", while color commentator Jerry Lawler adding, "That's it. He'southward expressionless".[20] [29] [37]

According to both Foley, Calaway and Prichard, the second bump through the jail cell roof was completely unplanned,[23] [42] [27] Calaway would later say that he thought Foley was legitimately expressionless post-obit the second fall,[44] and asked Funk to check if he was still alive,[29] while Foley would describe Ross' commentary equally "non part of a wrestling match, merely a legitimate cry for my well-existence".[44] Foley later said that the only reason he survived the autumn was because he did non take the chokeslam properly, every bit he had been besides exhausted to lift his torso weight in response to the chokehold.[45] [26] In his memoir Accept a Dainty Solar day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks, Foley called it both the all-time and worst chokeslam he ever took, saying that despite its looks, he would take likely died if he had landed properly. Foley would afterwards explain that the roof of the cell was supposed to sag sufficiently and then that The Undertaker could kick Mankind through, allowing him to dangle by his feet and eventually autumn in a rotation to land on his forepart.[17] [28] [46] [34] Years later, Calaway would notation that simply earlier executing the chokeslam, he had been standing with his left human foot on the aforementioned console that Flesh fell through, but decided to place it on the support bar the console was fastened to take more stability for lifting Flesh.[27] Writing in his autobiography More Than Just Hardcore, Funk wrote "watching from the back, I thought he was dead. I ran out hither and looked downward at him, still lying in the ring where he'd landed. His eyes weren't rolled dorsum in his caput, but they looked totally glazed over, like a dead fish'due south optics".[47] In 2021, McMahon told A&E that he was "freaked out" by the incidents.[8]

Some fourth dimension afterward getting upward and being attended to again by medical personnel, television set cameras showed a lingering shot of Mankind smiling through his haemorrhage oral cavity and lips, with a loose molar hanging beneath his nose, the tooth having been knocked out due to being struck past the chair.[24] [26] [28] At the urging of Foley, the match continued for a while longer, eventually reaching a determination with Flesh beingness chokeslammed by The Undertaker onto a pile of thumbtacks,[20] [48] followed by The Undertaker executing his finishing movement, the Tombstone Piledriver, and pinning Flesh to end the match.[28]

Foley received a "rarely seen" standing ovation for the match.[29] [49] In the main consequence of the PPV between Steve Austin and Kane, the cage would exist lowered again when both The Undertaker and Mankind interfered,[50] as Kane won the WWF championship. The quaternary Hell in a Cell match took place on Raw is State of war two months after, a singles match betwixt tag team champions Mankind and Kane, concluding their brotherhood, with the lucifer featuring another bump through an announce table, this fourth dimension with Flesh halfway upwards the side of the cage.[17]

Foley suffered several injuries in the match: a concussion, a dislocated jaw and shoulder, bruised ribs, internal haemorrhage, puncture wounds, and several teeth knocked out.[54] [55] Afterwards because retirement, assertive wrestling had passed him by,[56] the friction match made Foley modify his approach to wrestling, last he could not continue taking such dangerous bumps, leading his Flesh graphic symbol to go a more gentle one who would later form a tag-team with The Rock and use an anthropomorphic sock named "Mr. Socko".[29] [33] [28]

Backstage later on the match, McMahon said to Foley, "You have no idea how much I appreciate what you have just washed for this company, but I never want to see annihilation like that again."[54] [57] [34] Foley recalled that, afterward the match and notwithstanding feeling the furnishings of the concussion, he turned to Calaway and asked "Did I use the thumbtacks?" Calaway responded sternly "Look at your arm, Mick!", at which betoken Foley discovered a significant number of thumbtacks still lodged in his arm.[28] Russo was also surprised at Foley's demeanour after the match, recalling him questioning Russo nearly the quality of the match and if it was good every bit the previous Hell in a Prison cell.[58] Foley wrote in his showtime volume that his wife Collette cried during a post-match phone conversation between the two, and this fabricated Foley strongly consider retiring from wrestling,[23] [57] [28] something that Foley did eventually exercise on a total-time ground in 2000. Fittingly, his concluding match as a full-time wrestler was as well a Hell in a Jail cell match at No Fashion Out in February 2000; Foley decided to replicate his autumn through the roof of the prison cell during the match and proper precautions were taken to ensure his safety performing the stunt.[42]
