Mankind vs The Rock at Raw (Foley wins his first WWE Title)

[zonny995]

I Miss the Attitude Era



[jskyl14]

That night put an end to wcw..from then on WCW never beat wwf in the ratings again.

[tdbl2079]

Damn listen to that pop.

[dpviper07]

Forgot to ad, Damn I miss Shamrock loosing it and going to the zone. Name one guy now who could pull that off and you actually believe he lost it.

[dpviper07]

Why didn't the Rock take of his track suit?

[jskyl14]

@dpviper07 I THINK he grew a 3rd nipple from taking steroids lmao im not 100 percent

[FirecrackerFilms29]

Cole is so happy.

[FirecrackerFilms29]

That can make a grown man cry in a few years

[mbloome]

Quite possibly the biggest Champion change pop in the history of Wrestling.



[DerrickthePinecone]

Jerry Lawler looks like Friar Tuck from Robin Hood.

[Simpsonfan6192]

This is my favorite wrestling moment but unlike everybody else I'm not going to wish for the attitude era guys to come back. Time passes, things change, but they don't have to be bad. Yes the wwe fell into a slump but it's starting to get out of it and it's young guys like punk Ryder and Sheamus who can help make it better, there honestly not much any of those old guys can do, their time in the slotlight is up and the good ones like Mick foley and hbk know it

[toadman842]

Biggest pop ever

[jacobcook7]

@toadman842 it's right up there with triple h's pop at msg after returning from injury and cm punk's money in the bank pop, even though it was his hometown

[danieljames2011]

@lukecfcfan I sure did!

[KrackHead1231]

The mankind-rock feud was the best thing the wwf ever did.So many memorable matches and moments.stone cold-rock was ehh to me.

[meragan12487]

@KrackHead1231 Well Stone Cold-Rock was really more about Stone Cold-Mr. McMahon.

[Hperman09]

It's pretty pathetic WCW was getting so fucked up at that time. WCW rating will never be the same when they annoucned that mankind was going to win the title.

[blackant51]

Best moment ever!!!

[luispapi945]

It's sad that we will rarely ever get to see crowd reactions like this ever again.

[Jman4Life45]

I got goosebumps from this. Oh my god what a moment!

[MightySerbianFighter]

king is an incredible asshole

[ovechkin651]

5:09 gotta love king! "somebody help the rock, help him!"

[ovechkin651]

Classic wrestling days, the fans didn't mind to be the Rock because he was the heel. Nowadays, you don't see fans just so in tune with the storyline.

BTW, so happy for Mick. He didn't have all championship reigns but he, IMO, was the superstar who laid it all on the line for us. Even though the Rock, Austin, DX and Undertaker get all the notoriety for the Attitude Era, it wouldn't have been the same without Mankind.

[shakysyxx]

Mick Foley truly deserved it,I was a kid when this happend and I was so bloody happy...and disapoited in Shavoine on what he said,and I like Shavoine....but all the hard work in WCW,Mexico,Japan,Germany....Mi­ck came full circle...he is still from this day my top 5 (no Booker T pun lol)

[gengarjetty]

damn for some reason I can't get my butt off my seat.

[HalfManHalfAmazing5]

best thing michael cole ever said "for all those who have been told they cant do it"

[JewMaster93]

@HalfManHalfAmazing5 I'll give Cole credit where credit his due: him calling the match from Austin coming out until the end was fantastic

[GamingAddict3399]

Stupid WCW, spoilers are for the internet!!

[BIGDAZR]

foxtel 

[ChrisWalshv1]

why isnt raw like  this anymore

[meragan12487]

That put a lot of butts in seats!

[markisginger]

The one dislike was from The Rock.

[Whaloman]

This is unequivocally the best pop/best return I have ever seen. I remember watching this live and hoping that Stone Cold would come back during this match. I had a smile on my face the whole week after this happened, just thinking about it. It's hard to believe to this day that it still gives me goosebumps hearing the glass shatter every time I see this match. WWF, you are sorely missed.

[BlackLeather92]

@Whaloman I have to ask, do you think they turn down the volume of the crowd during WWE TV these days? Not even the Rock's return last year was this loud, and it should have gotten a thunderous pop. I was at Summerslam last year and the crowd went nuts for CM Punk, but when I saw the PPV replay, the crowd seemed much quieter than they did live.

[gengarjetty]

@BlackLeather92

no, it's generally louder when you're actually in the arena, one of my friends went there and had to cover his ears. If you had been to this arena live your ears would have been traumatized.

[KHayes666]

@Whaloman I have to agree this was the best pop because there were only 15 thousand in attendance that night compared to the 40 thousand in the Georgia Dome when Goldberg beat hogan and the sound was still deafening.

[fmw0656]

I dont follow wrestling anymore but this one will always stick to my mind. It was excellently put on as a show and on a real-life level noone ever deserved that more than Mick Foley, one of the greatest of all times. Damn i miss that era :(

[raynerz]

What theme is this that Mankind used?

[jieret813]

@MrFido9000 - This aired January 4, 1999. It was a taped show, that's why Tony Schiavone was able to leak the results on Nitro.

[theinsidepulse]

No-one was ever as over as Austin was at that time period. Not even Hogan in his prime.

[intercityfan]

10:40 WatterBottle flying there :D

[aborins]

I liked when King was a heel and Cole was a face. King was a much more entertaining heel than Cole is.

[aborins]

Biggest pop ever when Stone Cold's music came on...no question!

[mait17]

one of the best WWF moments ever. the crowd, the story, the underdog.. just all so good!

[metathus1488]

Good God, you can barley hear Tony Chimmel announce the winner because the crowd is so loud. I miss the WWF.

[MrFido9000]

When was this? (Please, month and year, if is possible, day too)

[merman08]

beginning of the end of WCW right here

[Derek70388]

HAHAHAHAHA 10:51

[DUCETEAM2D]

i always hought it was funny how the attitude era had alot of attacking but people always say "i miss attitude era with the real wrestling" lol

[Kaenei]

Thumbs up if you found Michael Cole's post-match commentary INSPIRATIONAL.

[rregre]

Cole and Lawler talking to each other without me wanting to change the channel?

What is this madness?

[KappaMummy]

FOLEY PUT MY ASS IN THE SEAT

[DanP739]

listen to the that pop...whoa!

[8141933]

That'll put some butts in seats nice job wcw

[Stamzilla]

Austin throwing his hat cracks me up every time

[cypher515]

"At the risk of not sounding very cool... I just want to dedicate this match to my two little guys at home and say ... BIG DADDY-O DID IT!"

This was Michael Francis Foley's biggest, wildest dream, and what do you know... he did it. Still, he has four world title reigns and yet he knows, the four best things he's done are named Dewey, Noelle, Mick Jr. and Hugh. Him, Owen, Eddie, Rey and Chris Jericho too, they have it right.

[artman4444]

way to go Mick Foley, Cactus Jack, Dude Love and Mankind!!! I wish all of the above best of luck

[LtDrg35]

10:18 you gotta love that reaction

[Simplyphenomenal07]

how does wwe get these crowds back? Can they ever get them back?

[matt2fresh84]

all i remember is that MY BUTT WAS NOT IN THE SEAT WHEN SEEN THIS!

[matt2fresh84]

i have old VHS tapes of every raw from like 97 to early 00 and every monday night i popp them in my old vcr to play for my nephew so he wouldnt be subjected to the pg 13 bullshit of now....what will i do when it runs out? .....ill pop in wcw nitros LOL.

[ArtofDestiny]

The fans never go bonkers like this anymore.

[cvaldezjr041]

By this time wcw was going downhill very fast. It sucked ass. This moment was great!

[BoxerBoycie]

That'll put asses on seats !!

[JohnnyFa]

RIP these kind of wrestling POPs. Ridic @ 10:17

[muta157]

13 years ago they had SCSA, The Rock, Mick Foley, HHH, DX, McMahon. Today we have a wigger, CM Punk...uh what the hell else do we have?

[EzekielWinnfield]

Cole was way less annoying back then.

[ishmel231]

Memories When Wrestling Was Interesting

[dppatters]

One of my favorite Raws of all time. Classic television.

[KingOfKingz819]

10:15 that is a POP

[captainkwerk]

It is absurd that no one has mixed this with the Guile theme.

[dtb1331]

The only thing that could have made this better was JR.

[lukecfcfan95]

WCW was never the same after they leaked this result and the Nitro fans flipped the channel to watch Mankind win the title

[dsfddsgh]

@lukecfcfan95 Yeah and considering on the same night Mick won the title Hogan won the title back with the "Fingerpoke of Doom" that says it all about where the two companies were going.

[1destined]

@lukecfcfan95 I think it was Tony Schiavone who, when he read that on the air, said with sracasm, "Yeah, that'll put some butts in the seats." Yes, Tony, it did!!!!

[1destined]

@1destined I meant to say "sarcasm"!

[unleashxthexpain]

thanks for the match dude can u upload some ken shamrocks matches?

[Wurmo]

My butt was in the seat watching this!

[BeatFreak143]

Today we have wrestlers like Daniel Bryan, The Miz, Zack Ryder, Jinder Mahal, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Wade Barrett... ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?!?!?!

[101WWEPPV]

@BeatFreak143 man the miz, DB, JG, WB, they rulez, but mahal and ryder, heath suckz!

[BeatFreak143]

@101WWEPPV nah they dont 'rulez' they all suck!!! except for ryder.

[BeatFreak143]

And The WWE champion is being defended against a white hair ex-cheerleader called Dolph Ziggler...... umm? wtf has happened to the WWE...?

[BeatFreak143]

Today The World Heavyweight Champion is a guy called Daniel Bryan......... ummm?

[SatansRealm]

When Tony Schiavone gave away that this was happening, I immediately turned on RAW. Put my butt in the seat.

[101WWEPPV]

i hope Attitude Era,Hardys, SCSA, Lesnar, jericho, sting, rvd, shane, batista, legendkiller, undertaker, hbk, shelton benjamin, goldberg, angle......... come back in 2012..............

[BeatFreak143]

@101WWEPPV HHH!!

[101WWEPPV]

@BeatFreak143 yeah, of course, i forgot him!

[BeatFreak143]

@101WWEPPV Haha :)

[101WWEPPV]

@BeatFreak143 PG! :D

[mopaomokonzi78]

i want WWF Attitude ERA back in 2012, but we have progress Mick Foley is back, Masked Kane is back and is finally feuding with Cena and Kevin Nash feuding with Triple H, Rock competing against Cena at WM 28 and maybe Jeff and Matt Hardy will return or Stone Cold will face CM Punk or Undertaker having is ABA gimmick back at RR 12

[101WWEPPV]

@mopaomokonzi78 i think Jeff Hardy will return either before RR or on RR!

[BeatFreak143]

@mopaomokonzi78 Too bad Kevin Nash is not wrestling anymore and Triple H hardly does :| I WANT HBK BACKK!!

[mopaomokonzi78]

I want those memories to happen in 2012

[DipSetCEO]

1 person is wondering where the hell is John Cena?

[DipSetCEO]

1:35 - I wanna see sh*t like this in 2012!!!

[Mrak6661]

people were freaking out. this is the loudest ive ever heard a crowd. such a good moment.

[ktownshutdown21]

Michael Cole and crowd: OH HELL YEAH!

Jerry Lawler and The Corporation: GOD NOOOOOOOOO!

Kane: And not a single fuck was given that day.

[TheGillenium]

If there was any match in which Michael Cole actually gave a good call on, im glad it was this one. Its no JR...but he did his thing.

[eastundertaker]

plz all i wanna down load this music of mankiand

[1EPowerUp]

Shane at 13:10 ahhhhhh ahhhhh I HATE HIM lmao

[1EPowerUp]

god how great wrestling used to be. RIP wrestling.

[SabbraCadabra]

I miss the old days. :(

[chaoseffect999]

This was the best moment in WWF history. I still get goosebumps from watching this

[CarlOlskamp]

And on the other channel there was Hulk Hogan poking Kevin Nash in the chest...and pinning him to win his nth world title.

[jorgeascurra32]

@kardzfn21- A thing like cm punk screwing the miz or heel maybe 2012 when john cena turned heel he will be better for that. And underdog / crowd favorite zach ryder nobody will think that will happen like mankind. That will be awesome to see. I just want some awesome shit to happen on raw. Recreate this will help bring unexpected shit to happen. I want ppl to thing back what a awesome raw

[jorgeascurra32]

@kardzfn21- no im saying somehow wwe has to redo this type of raw . Like if miz was champion and thinks no way zach ryder can beat him. The lumberjack match the heels on one sidr and the babyface at the end bothsides start fighting. Both men are down cm punk comes out give the gts on miz or like scsa did steel chair. Zach ryder wins the title. Im not comparing anybody now to the past. I want some crazy shit that is so awesome.

[jorgeascurra32]

Or the rock is heel john cena either way that will be awesome

[jorgeascurra32]

Right now they should that like mankind is zach ryder, the rock is the miz, and steve austin is cm punk if they did that sometime in 2012 that will be awesome

[kardzfn21]

@jorgeascurra32 -Me, I've always said Everybody is a different person can they have things a like? SURE & right now- Zack Ryder has alot of characteristics like Mankind main 1 being-They are/were underdogs, dunno if The Miz is like The Rock yet but he is so annoying he's a great WWE heel, CM Punk like Austin? Defying athority ok but no one can be S.C.S.A. I'll tell you who they never should have gotten rid of-John Morrison he reminded me of a young HBK & I've been watching wrestling for 20 yrs

[7LucasCabrera71]

That Cole emotion ;_;

[astraltears1]

This was the fateful night, in which WCW's Tony Schiavone(possibly under orders from Eric Bischoff) revealed that Mick was going to win the title. As soon as he made that statement, 600,000 (some say up to a million) TV's switched from Nitro to Raw. Talk about a self inflicted wound, it started a chain reaction. Many believe what happened this night was one of the main things that sealed the fate of WCW, or was one of the fatal blows at least that helped kill it.

[thrawnrulz68]

THE greatest moment in the monday night wars surpassing even Flair's return in 1998, Austin's first stunner on McMahon, and Goldberg winning the title...

[TheGillenium]

"The winner of this bout..... and the neeeeeew world wrestling federation champion...... MAAAANKIND". Could it be any more epic? No.

[JIDANBOOOOOO6]

Good old times when wwe had good ratings, the arena where always full, the superstars where all awesome, the babyface gotted huge pop because they deserved it and the topheel boed as hell, cena and brandy boilton weren't there....and there were NO fucking lil'jimmies that makes me want to kick their heads off, and especially......there were no flashy fruity peebles in the crowd

[hightimesbruce]

I love how Rock and Foley basically no sold the Rock Bottom through the announce table. lol

[maRCON318]

the rock did not hit his head on the title

[killajay26]

Tony Schavonne disliked this

[Necrocide187]

@killajay26 Ya damn right he didnt like this lol!

[tim23vicious]

@killajay26 true i remember after this match people made signs sayin MICK FOLEY PUT MY ASS HERE

[Wurmo]

I miss how Jerry Lawler always rooted for the heels.

[futureshocker]

@Wurmo he was awesome as a heel

[lopez3088]

Had to keep rewinding video to 10:16 that is the greatest pop ever

[thepatsnumber1fan]

on the another channel the fingerpoke of doom

[AlvarezJalisco]

one of the best pops ever

[VelvetKevorkian]

My favorite part is how Kane just stands there indifferently.

[lui3090]

@VelvetKevorkian yeah he was just standing their lol this is the real wwf the best

[zeroeffects88]

Ah the Attitude days. What happened?

[ImTheAmazingWhiteGuy]

@zeroeffects88 wcw died they had no competition and started getting worse and worse without competition u have nothing to worry about

1989-1993 amazing era

1994-1997 awful hart keeps them in buisness

1998-2002 best era ever

2003-2005 still pretty cool

2006-2008 watchable

2009-2011 dead rather watch ufc ( like many )

[TheDwarfShortage]

07:02 This is not a titlte match that is going to start 2 minutes before we go off the air - DDP vs Goldberg Halloween Havoc 1998. Take that WCW!

[plagueking777]

Micheal is not bad as ppl think in commenting its vince that makes him annoying

[Mugroar]

Seriously, this is one of the greatest memories of the good ol' days of the WWF. I get chills every time I hear that glass break, the resounding crowd reaction, the ONE....TWO...THREE...Never before or again will there be a crowd that was THIS into a match, with THIS kind of reaction. It's a truly legendary moment of the WWF.

[Blergifinger]

This is the most epic moment in WWF

[TheGillenium]

from the second the glass shatters i do believe this is the single biggest pop in wrestling history.

[mmscott9]

"Yeah.  That'll put butts on seats"

[rl1712]

13:11 Shane doing an impression of a bird call lol

[habbz11]

ARRIVE. RAISE HELL. LEAVE.

[michealangelo12865]

i miss this

[5008fut]

10:49 - 10:52 lol

[Astbruchgefahr]

THAT MAKES ME WANNA PUUUUUUUUUKE!!!

[danielgearie1992]

i miss this king. he made commentating hilarious. i do however find it hilarious when michael cole interupts the divas matches no matter how many people slag him for it.

[Pulpedtoafiction31]

Well WCW could have used better tactics.If it was me I would have said "Ladies and gentlemen we only have the best in our sport unlike the other league who have the rejects that couldnt make it here in WCW."..Or "Ladies and gentlemen we dont have our main events finish up with cheap chair shots and 45 minutes of talking we only have the best and the best is the action right here on WCW Monday Nitro."Anything but giving the ratings away.That was stupid on there part.

[Oscy]

I just watched the tribute video for Foley the night after Triple H retired him at No Way Out.

I just had to double check that it really was an ecstatic Triple H celebrating with Foley when he won the title...

[terapin88]

Cole sounds like he's in the middle of puberty. Idiot then, Idiot now.

[andyfleets23]

This is the greatest moment in WWF history. As a teen in the late 90s this was about as perfect as it could get. Just watch the crowd reaction once the glass shatters. Perfect

[wordlifeheel]

I would die happy if I saw another match with reactions like this.

[JTZissman]

To me, one of the classic things of this was the King hitting a falsetto screaming "NO, NO, NO" while the ref is counting the 3 count. Lawler is great at color commentary.

[amakdissi79]

The night WCW died!

R.I.P

[crazenate]

This was Rock wearing the long shirt to cover up his ab implants.  True story.

[jdolaktv]

"That'll put some butts in the seats"

WCW's famous last words.

[Filthgrinder79]

10:16 Loudest pop in Wrestling history?

[TheDamned999]

not a match thats going to start 2 minutes before we go off the air. lol so true

[crazenate]

@TheDamned999 haha WWF was smart about how they slammed WCW. WCW basically told their viewers to change the channel.

[chrisothoulos]

awesome...remember watching this live...priceless...well, not really live lmao

[Flossingame]

makes me sad to think how terrible wwe is today compared to how great it was....

[bo0chie9]

my opinion best title win ever....ever
