WWF King Of The Ring 1998: Mankind Thrown Off Cell

[Moredread25]

Foley is the most hardcore man in the history of wrestling. He took the two craziest bumps in the history of wrestling within five minuites of each other.

[gohomeflyers]

These were the days, better matches, better storylines, better wrestlers, and better commentary.

[FuZePredFG]

Mankind was 1 of the most baddest son of a bitch in the WWF hed so anything to entertain people

[gildreavus]

OH GOOD GOD, GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, IT KILLED 'IM!!!!!!!

[MrVinnie668]

thats wat you get mankind kiss my ass

[decromanger28]

They need to throw those guys in the WWE that thinks PG stuff off the top of the cell like this.

[spizsam]

Thank you Mick Foley for everything you have given to wrestling

[danster606]

Yes WWE is scripted and fake but c'mon that must of hurt!

[temoclink]

@danster606 It's not fake. Just scripted. That was not fake. It was scripted though.

[KidRush732]

The greatest moment in WWE history.

[Keith459001]

3 star wanted level???

[swimmonster6496]

crowd reaction sucked ass



[33carolinablue]

15% Crowds reaction.

35% Jerry and JR's commentary.

10% Undertaker not freaking out and maintaining character.

40% Mankind having some serious balls to continue.

That is what made this match great.

[JRx45]

@33carolinablue Damn boy!!! Do the math...

[33carolinablue]

@JRx45 dats a unc chapel hill education right there lol.

[JRx45]

@33carolinablue Shit man i have a Syracuse U. degree, but at least I have something.

[THWchamps15]

#1 OMG moment!!!

[JoeySymphony]

Easily one of the most mesmerizing images in the history of WWE.

[cutthe27]

@JoeySymphony Just watched the 50 OMG moments of WWE history and this was number 1

[JoeySymphony]

@cutthe27 That doesn't surprise me. It definitely deserves such a distinction.

[cutthe27]

@JoeySymphony I remember watching this with my dad and we thought he was dead

[edge9090]

is the 3 disc set worth it? unfortunately i judged a book by it's cover by cringing at the title "OMG!" and how many matches are on it?

[cutthe27]

@edge9090 I watched it on netflix as it seems most of the WWE dvds go to instant stream within 3-4 weeks. Usually the actual dvds have matches on 2 extra discs but I;m not sure about the buying it. It was cool to remember alot of that stuff but it was basically a clip show with no full matches. There are 50 moments but I'm not sure if there are matches on the actual discs.

[edge9090]

thanks for answering my question, sounds like a great disc set. It's actually similar to the greatest superstars of the 21st century dvd that i own at home, there are 20 profiles (like clips) that last 5-10 minutes each documenting each of their careers in the 2000's decade. One the two extra discs there were extra matches where disc 2 had 5 matches and disc 3 had 8 matches

[rtsjr]

the word "fake" appears on every single comment page 150000 times my god people let it fucking go.

[ryan803]

Lmfao this is why i love JR

[FlameHazeShana19]

To those that think this is fake, try it yourself, tell me how it felt.

[Vegito14]

@FlameHazeShana19 not great i'll tell you that much

[VeNoMKiLLs007]

WOW i remember this like it was yesterday then need to bring back this stuff not that trash they have on today

[DwayKeezy]

0:09 looks like a long fall

0:54 looks like shorest fall ever

[datboicuz]

its always the spanish table that gets fucked first... lol

[TXWOmegaLee]

oh yea thats fake alright, They announcing table is extra squishy

[TheCjkillah]

"good god almighty good god almighty that killed him!!!" oh jr

[FoSho949]

hahaa try calling that fake! fuckin haters

[777Darklight]

oww LOL!!!!!

[attentionaddicts]

Actually maybe it was his left shoulder - he holds it for rest of the match, you can see blood coming from the area. But he still climbs the cage again with that busted shoulder - and then ends up losing 2 teeth, dislocated jaw, hole in cheek etc. Crazy match.

[infernityzero2011]

@attentionaddicts dont forget a concussion after smacking his head off the chair on the chokeslam and the thumb tacks stuck in his arm he couldnt feel because of the concussion taker told him backstage they were still stuck in his arm

[attentionaddicts]

Foley dislocated his right shoulder in this fall - in the next 8mins the medics stretchered him off, popped it back into place and then he continued the match! Imagine that happening in any "real" sport - how can anyone say wrestling is "fake"?

[infernityzero2011]

@attentionaddicts i hate people who say its fake it pisses me off i again 100 % with what your saying

[TheKillermonkey42]

damnnn...



[MrTakemeawaynow]

I have this on DVD! Love This Match!

[NUFClegend01]

Anyone else ever notice thatit was always the Spanish Announcers table?

[JluvsbudNliq]

J.R.'s best call! lol

[gn0015]

@JluvsbudNliq Imagine if it was Michael Cole. Oh God I don't even want to think about it XD

[mccartney2011]

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, THAT KILLED HIM! AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!

[jirachi132]

OH LORD OH MIGHTY!!!!!! HE KILLED HIM!!!!! Lol

[basketball26661]

Mick Foley deserves way more respect he provided the WWF with some of it's greatest moments he's taken so many falls so many hits he was truly an entertainer

[TheRealJamDawg]

I always thought the term "Staged" far more accurate than "Fake" because it's a Dangerous Profession and they do get hurt.

[dementor338]

Pause at around 1:00 when you see the red part of the table it reflect the light and looks like cardboard!!!!!!!

[takiyasamsama]

@dementor338 oih mate, that wasn't cardboard, that's a plywood painted with glossy paint ae =)

[gaarasuri]

@takiyasamsama yup and even if it was cardboard it would still hurt like freaking hell falling off and onto that. it wouldn't hold up well. still smushed the floor lmao.

[moh490234890238490]

Undertaker also choked slammed him of the cage and put him through thumb tacks, TWICE!!

[theBoBsquad]

Send this video to anyone who says wrestling is fake.

[jokersmckr]

that was fucking awesome

still can't get over that!!! pure EPIC

[DarkheartZero]

@gospelkeys07 IT looks like the inside of the table painted red... in fact @ 0:30, you can clearly see it...

[KoRnAttitudeEra]

@gospelkeys07 In other words, you have no idea what you're talking about and you're trying to prove that wrestling doesn't hurt although you have never and probably won't ever take bumps in a wrestling ring. If you're going to play Captain Obvious, you can CLEARLY see how thin that black mat is that Foley landed on. Anyone who has a brain would know that getting slammed on it would still hurt. Now falling off of a structure like this? Just be glad that only Foley can take pain more than others.

[theuntold100]

THEYVE KILLED HIM

[ishman2006]

The King and Howard Finkel's reaction speaks for itself. Finkel has his hands over his mouth in sheer astonishment 1:11 bottom RH corner

[aqwkiller1]

0:05 is the chair under the cell?

[kiidflowz23]

BRING JR BACK !!!!!!!!

[mmabuff101]

i remember watching this live at a friends with a bunch of teens, i looked away from the tv for less than 3 seconds, and when i look back foley isnt on the cage anymore. my jaw hit the ground and i just thought HOW THE HELL DID HE GET DOWN SO FAST? considering michaels fell off the side

[MrTLR92]

i was there when it happend i was a little 5 year old

[karan6]

This is why WWE sucks now they set the standard way 2 high between 1997-2002 with the crazy hell in a cells, tlc matches etc. There is nothing higher than this than throwing some guy of a building I mean common no wrestler is gonna do any of this shit no more

[jayW817]

probably the most famous hell in a cell ever

[LegendKiller0713]

@jayW817 probably? more like UNDOUBTLY

[aslan45]

@gospelkeys07 "somewhat" is an understatement.

[wdp3ngs]

J.R. doesn't like it one damn bit!

[aslan45]

@gospelkeys07 it's still a fucking table, man. don't try and deny the fact that it HURTS. you clearly have never taken a bump in your life, especially on a wrestling canvas.

[aslan45]

@gospelkeys07 that wasn't real? how do you fake getting thrown off of a fucking cage into a table?

[Sowaigh]

WWE will never be the same again of WWF it's over.

[merc142]

@gospelkeys07 dude, as the King would say, it's real. It's staged and predetermined, but Foley legit freaked them out.

[Beltzer0072]

oh boy, Cena and Miz matches of today so beat ones like this from back in the day. No I'm just kidding. Todays wrestling sucks balls compared to these jaw dropping matches from the 90s to early 2000s

[Shinatsu]

You see this kids....this is when the WWF had balls and Edge of your Seat PPV's!

[soulburst]

you know nobody new.The spainish guys are still sitting at the table.

[Berris100]

Actually Jr broke Kaybface while commentating he actually thought Mick Foley got killed and when he went through the cell roof that wasnt supposed to happen

[DatBoyClyde]

@Berris100 "Good God Almighty! Good God Almighty! That Killed Em! For the love of God he is broken in half!"

[wweryanyo]

After Undertaker threw him off it looked as if he was thinking fuck, I just fucked this guys whole life up now.

[Stevie2Sxc]

Undertaker must have been nervous as fuck doing this. One slight mistake from either of them here would have fucked that up horribly. they must have really trusted each other to be willing to do this with no visible hesitation

[CheeseReaper22]

So did Mankind win?

[spazzjam669]

@CheeseReaper22 no he lost

[nightcat23]

Everyone credits Mick Foley for taking the fall (and rightfully so) but everyone forgets that the Undertaker had real balls for throwing him off. I mean, he could have killed him or left him a paraplegic the rest of his life. And yet the Undertaker doesn't seem to hesitate at all.

[BorealNeal]

i know wwe is fake but id like to see all the losers who make fun of wwe volunteer to get thrown of a cage onto a table got balls?

[Hopper830]

@BorealNeal cage? that's a sell, that's way higher than a cage.

[BorealNeal]

@Hopper830 exactly

[AMACK65]

i no wrestling is fake, but most of the falls mick foley take looks pretty damn real .. i guess thats why he was my favorite back in the day. "have a nice day" lol.

[yogachela]

"They know how to fall."

Haha. Fuck you.

[yogachela]

This just makes me laugh. It's awful but i can't help but laugh at how ridiculous it is, knowing the story behind this match and how Foley told Taker to throw him off, Taker thinking he was crazy but did it anyway. Everybody just sold it so well, despite the very real injuries Foley received as a result. Great match, greater moment in my storied wrestling memory banks.

Wrestling sucks now.

[darthxaos]

3 people like the PG era

[bda617]

JR was the best! 

[Magicforever1000]

@gospelkeys07

Actually that was real, he wasn't supposed to do alot of things in that match, falling off and falling through are some, when JR says stop the damn match, that's some legit concern. You can even see the Undertaker is alittle caught off guard by it.

[spazzjam669]

I hope CM Punk's diet soda wasn't on there

[KiranTaker270]

@spazzjam669 lmao good one "undertaker what are you doing? undertaker my diet soda" lmfao

[OptimusCardo]

I miss this sort of wrestling, these days your lucky to see a table get broken

[Flashy203]

"THEY'VE KILLED HIM!"

[Cookie901Monster]

FUCK COLE JIM ROSSS FOR LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[DeLachuga]

back when wrestling was actually worth watching.

[asswadful]

WHERE IS THE SPANISH ANNOUNCER TABLE IN WWE..........YEAH THATS MY POINT WWE SUCKS WWF KICKS ANYTHINGS ASS

[seatownhoopers]

Wrestlers now days are way to pretty to do things like this. RIP WWF. I miss you each and every day.

[badreligion1231]

JR has more talent in his pinky than that hack Cole has in his entire body .

[havocdb450]

My Gawd Almighty!!! My Gawd Almighty!! He killed him!!

[TomBlack1000]

you can't fake that lmao.

[balado1988]

whats happened to wwe. befor 2002 wwe was epic and now its gone down hill to a very gay standard.

[286Vader]

Ouch

[hockeypunk92]

You can't fake falling that high. I applauded the man then and I applaud him now.

[chaingangcommander41]

THEYVE KILLED HIM!!!

[20DeeJayEl]

My first ever match. This is what got me hooked on WWE. Twelve years later, the crap they show now is what's making me change the channel.

[superchef78]

So was this incident planned? Like when he throwed him down onto the table?

[clockendboy]

JR is the best thing about this video.

[miggieless]

Wrestling is fake gravity isint!

[cra0422]

@gospelkeys07 That was not kayfabe (in character) but rather a legitimate concern for Foley's well-being, same as when he cried "will somebody stop the damn match" later on.

[HuskerFanatic]

@cra0422 Yeah, Ross was a Foley mark no doubt and I think Foley truly felt the same way abut Jim Ross. Only JR could make marking out for his best friends like Austin, Foley, HBK (yes I think he was and is an HBK mark too) look cool. When Michael Cole marks out for the Miz he sounds exactly like Daniel Bryan calls him - a nerd.

[wweman6]

Man thats my most favourite moments over in the wwe and what made it awesome is when J.R come out of Character.

[maxassasin911]

i wanna see cena top that fucking overrated faggot only 2 people have the balls to do this foley and sabu both from ecw

[100jefffoley]

no wwf was fake wwe is fake damit its sports etertainment

[xELECTRIFYINGx]

@100jefffoley and your a turd

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

Well King of the Ring 2010 is upon us, though I doubt we will get to see anything like this onthe 3-hour RAW in a couiple of weeks. Though its nice to see the installment being brought back!

Check out my thoughts on WWE bringing back the WWE King of the Ring-tournament plus a Survivor Series preview, in my videos in my channel.

[Slimkidd730]

Mick Foley is the brett favre in wrestling history. Foley took the best bumps with no hesitation. Dude was too crazy but you gotta love him. lol!

[LordHomid]

Good God almighty, Good God almighty, They've killed him! As God as my witness, he is broken in half! IN HD :)

[joepescifromcasino]

Mankind was a martyr, too bad not many followed

[Majshet]

lol i think its funny...the crowd was silent all of a sudden he was thrown off and they went nuts!

[IamABOMINATIONx]

i was at this, it was in pittsburgh i was 12 or so i thought he was dead

[eclecticderby]

take a look at the Spanish announcing team, they nearly died.

[greenandblue4321]

walk it off

[buffalowhat11]

After watching this over a 100 times i just realised that the tv's were still on the table if he hit his head or landed on those it woulda sucked so worse. Foley is God

[HuskerFanatic]

Best call ever by Jim Ross, no doubt and there have been a lot of great ones.

[PaulMcCartneyFan]

You could tell that it generally scared JR and King. No one but Taker Foley and Terry Funk knew this spot was going to happen.

[BJ2466]

Did you hear Jim Ross screaming

"GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, GOOD GO ALMIGHTY. IT KILL HIM!!!"

You gotta love Jim Ross.

[cmcmeeks]

They've killed him! JR is the greatest ever

[PaulMichaelDavidBain]

never gets old!

[lsufa]

" Good God Almighty, They've Killed Him!" Best Wrestling Line EVER!

[bloodymaniacs]

Oh god imagine falling of the modern day Hell in a cell cages Ouch tht would suck

[BarelyLegal97]

"by gawd! it killed him!"

[Vetauciont]

Definitely one of the most memorable moments. And P.S...J.R and the King were the best commentating duo out there.

[skrilla84]

I heard he injured himself doing this particular stunt (cant recal what he injured if someone could reply) but oddly enough....He actually looked like he pulled the move off pretty smooth...pretty good and accurate...but i remember hearing in an old interview or an internet radio show or something about he broke his collarbone, or nose, or something....cant remember for the life of me

[peterpeterpeter]

@skrilla84 in this match he lost 1 1/2 teeth got 14 stitches in his lower lip dislocated his shoulder and his jaw and bruised his kidney

[big14black]

Mick Foley is one of the toughest SOB's on the planet. I mean he got up and still wanted to fight the Undertaker

[freewaffles666]

If I were to think of the good days of wrestling this instance would pop in my mind.

[fullat6]

finaly a video of this match in good quality

[MrTwister4Life]

"GOOD GOD, GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, THEY'VE KILLED HIM!"

[RELOADiNuRfACE]

i liked the way mankind after been picked up by the doctors...he got off the strecher and still wanted to fight...1 of the toughest wrestlers ever

[pingissebbe98]

@RELOADiNuRfACE aye fucking hardcore

[HuskerFanatic]

@RELOADiNuRfACE And he came back to interfere later in the Austin/Kane First Blood WWF Title match as well. Only Mick could pull that off.

Not just ONE of the toughest wrestlers ever....THE toughest wrestler ever. I doubt there's a superstar in history who had a higher tolerance of pain.

[scappy440]

i watched this live i was in like 2nd grade

[dafpunkkk]

that somebody would agree to be thrown that far just sick! a little bit longer and right on the barricade

[TheLoneRanger13]

@dafpunkkk not to mention that wasn't the first time he flew off the top of the cage haha

[cra0422]

@dafpunkkk Getting thrown off the top of the cell was Foley's idea. He was afraid the match would stink because fans were apathetic to his Mankind character (at the time) and Undertaker had a broken foot. 'Taker actually argued against it right up until the match itself.

[Keith459001]

holy shit i had completely forgotten

[Andros1921]

Taker was a great actor to show how scared he was

[dmetimoo99]

0:14 "Good god almighty, that killed him!" Jim Ross

[Brian112891]

Who's "they"?

[JoeBird76]

@Brian112891 Me

[Chris201076]

If he had landed a foot further he would have been impailed on the steel barrior and literally DIED on live TV and in front of those thousands of people.

[cliftojo]

in later interviews of Mick Foley on this match. mick, terry funk, and vince were at wwf HQ in CT watching the 1st HIAC match with Undertaker and Shawn Michaels and tried to come up with ideas on how to top it. Then Terry look at Mick and said "Catus, I really think u should start the match on top of the cell". laugher insues b/c Terry was serious and Mick said yeah I can do that. there were two falls in this match, the 1st fall the iconic fall where Mick was thrown off the cell on to the S

[robiiC9109]

cool i want undertaker to do that 2 me haha i challenge him right now ( i know he wont be watching this video or read the comments ) so im pretty much safe haha

[muta157]

...and somehow Vince McMahon thinks Micheal Cole is better then Jim Ross. Can you imagine Cole calling this;

King: OOOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

Cole: sigh, that looked like it hurt.

King: THIS IS OVER!!!

Cole: I don't think that's the case, this match just started.

King: He fell 16 ft off the cage!!!!

Cole: Vintage.

King: Do you even know what vintage means? That has never happened before you idiot.

[SMOB561]

@muta157 lmao dude u put the Vintage....nice one

[pmic2011]

@muta157

PUT GOOD OL J.R ON COMMENTARY AND JERRY KING

FIRE MICHAEL COLE, ALL HE DOES NOW IS TALK ABOUT HIMSELF AND HE IS ANNOYING

[macielo]

the crowd went nuts ! =)

[gerizzyYMcrew]

And history was made.

[Alpstarr50]

for a second, the undertaker looks like: omg, is it real? did the fall end the way it was not supposed to? i hope i didn't really hurt him. what if i ended his acting carreer? if that's the case i will have to fight (act) another 857 matches to afford the case. NOOO!! :D

[KoolManKevz]

Attitude Era

[ox4poluter]

mick would have been fine at 911 he'l just bounce back up and go and buy some barbed wire lol

[autopreneur]

this is why Mick is a hardcore legend

[Coen68]

@autopreneur He's not just "A hardcore legend". He is "THE hardcore legend".

[bazzahtid86]

THE best moment in wrestling history!! i remember watching this genuinely shocked but thinking well its all scripted anyway hes probably fine. then i seen "beyond the mat" and mick foley was NOT fine after this match believe me!!!

[Alpstarr50]

@bazzahtid86

after the match, mick foley said it was a perfect fall :)

[Saitsuofleaves]

@Alpstarr50 Yeah, if he landed an inch off, either he would've broken something, or he would've broken something on the Spanish Announcers who probably were scared shitless the entire night knowing what was going to happen...at least, I HOPE someone told them this was going to happen.
