Mick Foley Says Being Asked A Lot About His Hell In A Cell Match With The Undertaker Bothered Him For 15 Years

Mick Foley reflects once again on his iconic Hell In A Cell match with The Undertaker.

Mick Foley reflects once again on his iconic Hell In A Cell match with The Undertaker.

At WWE King Of The Ring 1998, Mick Foley would enter into one of the most remembered and talked about matches in his entire career as he met The Undertaker in Hell In A Cell. The match itself is famous for Foley’s incredible bumps, being both launched off the top of the cell and chokeslammed through it’s roof on two occasions.

While speaking to Kron4 in a new interview, Foley was asked if it bothers him that he gets asked a lot about the Hell In A Cell bout, with Foley noting that it previously bothered him for fifteen years before he ‘came to grips with it’.

“Well, you know what? It’s been 27 years since that match. I’d say it bothered me for about 15 of those years, but then I came to grips with it and realized I’m lucky to be remembered for anything. We’re all lucky to be remembered for anything, and I’m lucky I’ve got a few different things. For people watching at home who are like, ‘what’s the deal with this guy’s teeth?’—these bottom teeth were knocked out that night in that match. I figure I don’t need a house full of wrestling memorabilia as long as I have a mirror. When I smile every morning, I remember exactly what I did for a living and the price you pay to do it.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Foley spoke about WWE’s recent SummerSlam Premium Live Event and who impressed him on the show. You can read more about that here.
