Mick Foley Fan Club *Bang Bang!*

[Chris]

Wasn't that the match that was spoiled on WCW?

Yep lol



But back to that actual match, I just rewatched it and holy FUCK that crowd reaction is just absurd, from the moment Austin's music hits (obviously) they're crazy but they just never fucking stop lol I read once (probably in one of Mick's books) that the crowd legit didn't stop for ages after the show went off air too. Just what a fucking moment, no one more deserving of it than Mick either.

Also a hell of a nice guy in person too.

21 years ago today, Mick Foley put butts in seats

It was 23 years ago Chris.

I couldn't believe Bischoff's plan to give away the result of Foley winning the championship backfired and that it began a slow, painful death of the company before Ted Turner sold it to Vince in 2001. Gotta love Foley for winning the title that night.

Wait actually it was 22 wasn't it? damn we as a whole on wrestling smarks are not good at math

 

[Death By Looch]

Not me, I was always good at meth.

Another great moment in Wrestling history, that wouldn't be the same without JR doing commentary.

Foley is really one of a kind. He's been a part of so many of my favourite moments, especially as Mankind and Cactus Jack.

Guy worked his ass off for that title.

Cactus Jack "returning" to a monster pop when it's literally Mick Foley taking off a mask, absolute GOAT

What Foley did for The Rock is 99 and Triple H in 2000 is truly amazing.

Got both of them over as main event heels

Foley knew who he was, and what he was in the grand scheme of things. He knew he didn't have "it" rather just a level under that but he understood the business and what it took to get others "over". He did it soooo many times. I don't think ANYONE will say he was the greatest but man, he was so damn good at doing what he did.
