[SOUND]
>> Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest
is the Hell in the Cell Match. >> Jr. what you got there? >> Releasing the participants first weighing 287 pounds, Mankind. >> He was born Vic Foley on Long Island,
New York. His manifestations as dude love and
cactus Jack are infamous, but none are more deranged than Mankind. His scarred body,
he’s missing half an ear. >> Look at this. >> He says when he gets inside the steel,
he will feel at home. There’s no place like home. And can you imagine what this
human being will do to himself? >> That’s what’s great about this,
Darrell. That’s what’s great. I’m telling you, I’ve watched this guy,
I’ve competed against this guy. It’s like, especially when you’re
in there in the ring against him, all of a sudden you start thinking,
nothing that I do hurts this guy. This guy feels no pain or
if he feels pain, he enjoys it. Look.
>> Just to that chair on top of the cage. What is he doing? Mankind is climbing the cage. >> You’re supposed to start
out inside the cage, isn’t he? >> Yeah,
the Undertaker’s not even introduced. >> What’s he doing? >> Well, he’s trying to get
up to the top of the cage. >> Well, I see that, but for what? >> He’s not very logical. I mean, he needs therapy. Who knows what he’s thinking? God only knows. >> Of all the things he’s lost,
I think he misses his mind the most. Ooh, here we go. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Wow, it’s totally dark in here. He may fall off that cell. >> His opponent, from Jeff Belly, weighing 348 pounds, the Undertaker. >> [APPLAUSE] >> On this warm Summer’s Night in the Igloo, there is a chill in the air
that signifies the arrival of the one and only, the phenom of
the World Wrestling Federation. >> [APPLAUSE] [SOUND] >> [APPLAUSE] [SOUND]
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Man >> [APPLAUSE] [SOUND]
>> [APPLAUSE] >> God,- >> [APPLAUSE] >> That’s like walking through hell right there. I think that may be an omen, junior. >> The Undertaker is a changed man for
many reasons. He is almost, and I hate to say this, but he’s almost satanic in his attitude. >> Now you talk satanic,
you’re looking at it right there. Mankind up on top of the Cell. >> Mankind with a steel
chair on top of the Cell. >> Wait a minute. Do you think he’s daring the Undertaker
to start this match up there? I know the last one we saw ended. >> If so, I don’t think that
Mankind will have to ask twice. [SOUND]
>> The pain that these two men are preparing
to endure is inhuman. How they will put their bodies on
the line here is beyond description. And the Undertaker says-
>> He’s doing it. >> You want me up there? You wanna come up there and fight? I’m gonna come up and whip your butt. >> My God. Now he may not make it up. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Undertaking a very precarious position. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Nothing between the Undertaker and the concrete floor but imagination. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> He’s there. >> And apparently Hell in the Cell Match
is officially underway in the most God awful. >> My God.
>> [CROSSTALK] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Shot just makes you sick. Makes your blood just your blood curl. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Puts goosebumps on my back there and make the hair on my neck stand up.
I like it. >> They’re fighting on up on a steel roof of this Cell.
They used it. That’s a steel chair that Mankind is used. >> My God, look at this, it broke through. >> That’s a lot of weight. There’s over 200 to 300 pounders up there. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> They’re destroying the Hell in the Cell and my God,
don’t get them over here where we are. What’s gonna happen here? Undertaker fighting back. He’s fighting back. They’re right above us, folks,
and I don’t lock it a damn bit. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> My God. >> McDonald’s-
>> They’re right above us, folks, and I don’t lock it a damn bit. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> My God. >> McDonald’s got a witness. He is broken in half. >> [APPLAUSE] >> My God. Somebody get out here. Really, I mean, it needs some help. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> My God. >> This is over. >> I cannot believe. >> This is over right here. >> I cannot believe. >> It’s over. >> That cage is 16 feet high. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And look at this, folks. Just listen. >> Unbelievable.
[SOUND] >> [APPLAUSE] >> My God. [SOUND] >> [APPLAUSE] >> I don’t care. My God, look at this, folks. >> [APPLAUSE] [SOUND] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Yeah, we got our Spanish announce team are down.
We need doctors out here. If somebody can get off their butt in the back and get some people out here.
>> Look at Mankind is moving. >> There’s Terry Funk. And we all know that Terry Funk and Mankind, professionally
have not got along. But there’s still gotta be a bomb there. >> [APPLAUSE] >> [CROSSTALK] >> Derek Backfield gotta be bone stroking. >> Doctor Francois petite is out here. >> [APPLAUSE] >> The Undertaker is still on top. The lord of darkness has ruled. And this may be the shortest Hell in the Cell Match that we have ever had,
but without a doubt, the most violent.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Get some hey. Can you help these guys right here? >> There’s nothing like assisting them right at the moment.
>> I don’t quite-. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Know how to approach this. >> [APPLAUSE] >> This match could be over. [SOUND] >> Here’s another look, ladies and gentlemen.
>> Could be over.
Look at that. >> [APPLAUSE] >> The guy’s life could be over. >> My God, this is just in insane. >> I have never seen it. >> [APPLAUSE] >> This is inhuman. >> [APPLAUSE] >> The pain and the misery that Mick Foley must be-
>> Look at that. Look out. Is he gonna jump down here? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Vince McMahon is out here and Commissioner Slaughter. Folks, we apologize. This match has stopped dead in his tracks. And we’ll take another look at it here. This is beyond belief. >> There’s no net. And somebody yeah, they know how to fall. >> Look at that. Look at this. >> Give me a break.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> We got a lot of people hurt here. And as professionally, the rivalry
between Terry Funk and Mick Foley or any other character-
>> Look at the race of the cage of the Undertaker still on top. >> This matches maybe over. I’ll tell him.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> What is the cage rated? Do they realize the Undertaker
is still on top of the cage? >> They’re raising the cage with
the Undertaker still on top. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And the EMTs now are bringing
a stretcher here. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> But look up there, Jr,
the cages are still going up. >> Well,
I think they raised the cage somewhat so that we can get the EMTs
there with a stretcher. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> [CROSSTALK] >> Where is the Lord of darkness? And he has put mankind into darkness,
possibly permanent darkness. Again, ladies and gentlemen,
we know that this was a. A much higher hike. Much talk about main events. One of two main events
you’ll see here tonight. And apparently, as. As quickly and as unusually as
this match started, it has ended. Wait, now the cage is coming back down. They got.
I guess they got to get the undertaker off of the top of this cage. Somebody go. Look out. The undertaker is coming down. He’s climbing down before
the cage is even on the ground. He’s coming down on our side, King. Yeah, I’m out of here. Might not be a bad idea for you to. And this is what the bigger story is there in the aisle way again. If this match has ended, we apologize. I have never. How do you.
What do you apologize for that. Well, that was the fans. I’ve never seen anything
like that in my life. Well, I’m not. Yeah, fine, but people were expecting
a hell in a cell match, and look at. You’re kidding me. In the hell is he standing? My God. And look at this. He’s got a smile on his face,
for God’s sakes. Are you kidding me? He wants to go back up, man. Turn. It’s going back up. No way. No way. How can he climb? How can his body. My God.
The undertaker’s got the chair. This is absolutely amazing. Absolutely amazing here. A headbutt by the undertaker. And a right hand. Now, if there’s a. If he throws him up on the other side,
there’s. God. The. But somebody stopped a damn match enough to know the poor son of a. He’s broken in half. And the undertaker likes it. But I think enough is enough. My God.
Look at it. The undertaker is still coming down. Stop him. The undertaker. Come and stop him. Commissioner. Slaughter Terry Funk. And you see that from
a television perspective. Now Terry funk trying
to help Nick Foley and Terry get the toe slam for his trouble. Somebody stop him. Perry. Font, he just got totes
slammed out of his shoes. It looked like. Watch this. My go. That ring is like concrete. He’s either crazy as hell or
he’s the toughest sob that I have ever. I’ve ever seen in this
sort of environment. How is he still standing up? I don’t have a damn clue. There’s shoes, there’s chairs,
there’s taps, there’s a cage hanging. And there’s a human being in there
that is unbelievably indestructible. I never thought I would
say that about somebody. But this guy is indestructible. What more can you do to a human being? I’ll make mankind bleeding. He may have internal. He’s got to have internal. Gotta have internal injuries right here. My God, this has just gone too far. Well, stop it. He’s still mounting an offense and
they’re locking these guys inside there. Who made that ruling? Watch it. Just let him. My. And he’s smiling. He is smiling. You had to know this. You had to know that it was
going to be something like this. I mean, you knew these guys wanted to
get at each other in the worst way. But I never dreamed it would
be this kind of stuff. I don’t know. If a tooth went through his lip,
then mankind. If he bit his tongue. His left arm is dangling. I think that the blood that’s coming out
of his mouth is coming up from inside him. It’s internal bleeding. I mean, it’s. This man weighs 300 pounds and
he fell over 16ft twice. And you can hear the steel
being moving around. He wants more. He can’t even lift his shoulder. Gave out.
He couldn’t even lift his shoulder’s probably broken and he’s smiling about it. What is that sticking out of his nose? That’s an honor. That’s got a second dose. The steal right of the shoulder. And that’s what I had. The undertaker is like an animal. The undertaker is like a madman,
a man possessed. Been this way ever since
McMahon challenged him. Mankind can’t even defend himself. You think he feels like he’s at home now? Well, I just. I can’t. I mean, you know,
some things are unexplainable. What has come over the undertaker? I mean, he attacks Paul Bearer. He goes to Paul Bearer’s house, he breaks
it, enters and he destroys Paul bearer. Look at this. Who missed him? Undertaker tried that missile like
dive and found nothing but to steal. That time. Mankind almost seemingly just passed out. The Undertaker was in midair,
couldn’t change direction. Obviously, mankind, or Mick Foley,
whatever you want to call it, his. His shoulders got to be separated. I think Undertaker’s busted. Undertaker just tastes the steel and
it doesn’t taste good. One more time, right in that. He’s cut. Undertaker’s been lacerated. Look at this. Come on now, Junior. This is hell in a cell and
it’s not a pretty sight. We knew it was going to be like this. This is. They’re in hell. Undertaker in mankind are in hell. Hell is in Pittsburgh
tonight in this match. They’re both in hell. You’re right. But both of these men have
claimed to like it in hell. That chair’s in the ring and
pine going for a pile driver. And did you hear the crack of
the undertaker skull on that chair? Or is not two? >> Two and a half. We said this one was not going to be. For the weakened heart, it is not. [INAUDIBLE] What a wretched environment. [NOISE] This is brutal. My gosh. >> That’s it here. >> Across the Undertaker’s face,
unprotected. What a leg drop,
[NOISE] Steele just ramming and jamming into the flesh of the Undertaker. And there’s a cover. >> That’s it.
>> 1, That’s got it. >> Tell me it’s over. >> 2, 3
>> Got him. [INAUDIBLE] It’s not over. How do these guys continue on, JR? >> It’s absolutely baffling. It’s desire. >> Look.
Look at Mankind’s face. He’s.
[NOISE] Honest to God, he’s laughing. >> It seems like now that Mankind is enjoying himself, [NOISE] he’s got. What is that out of his nose? >> Something has probably a piece of
that wooden table that he landed on. It probably pierced
right through his nose. >> Maybe a tooth. God.
You don’t think. [NOISE] What’s he got now? >> He went out of the ring and
get something I–. What is it, [NOISE]
>> A sack. >> Some sort of bag or something. >> He’s got sack. [NOISE]
>> God. >> What is that? >> Thumbtacks. Thumbtacks. [NOISE] My God. This is off the page. Thumbtacks. He’s fixin’ to send
the Undertaker to hell and back [NOISE] if he
knocks him down on that. [NOISE] Right hands. Undertaker reeling here. >> Big punch coming. >> No, no [CROSSTALK]
>> Undertakers trying to choke slam. [NOISE] Mankind stopped it, put right
to the face, though, by the Phenom. >> He’s got him. Mandible claw [CROSSTALK]. Mandible claw [CROSSTALK]. Mankind’s got the mandible
claw on the Undertaker. >> He’s going to try to throw the
Undertaker right onto those, those tacks. >> Undertaker is fading. No one has ever had the one loss
record against the Undertaker, as Mankind has earned. And some of them with that very move,
the mandible claw. Thumbtacks. Man, he’s sick. He’s literally sick. Undertaker is fading [INAUDIBLE]. Referee Tim White,
will check it one more time [NOISE]. And Undertaker. [INAUDIBLE]
>> My God, [APPLAUSE] I’ve never, ever seen anything like this
[CROSSTALK] [INAUDIBLE]. Undertaker, has simply
come back on his back. Now, wait a minute. No, you. He’s near the tacks. Don’t tell me. No, no [NOISE]. [NOISE] He threw him in
the thumbtacks [NOISE]. God Almighty, he’s a human pin cushion. Demon to God [NOISE]. He’s got those taps
sticking in this [NOISE]. [NOISE]. No. >> Unbelievable. They’re sticking–. [NOISE] A choke slam. >> No way. >> What a sadistic thing [NOISE]. A choke slam on the tacks [NOISE]. My God. What else can be done? What else will the Undertaker do? Every [INAUDIBLE]. >> People are cheering this JR [NOISE]. No way. >> And there’s the tombstone. Tombstone [NOISE]. >> On his back. >> 1, 2, 3. >> This is over, [INAUDIBLE]. Undertaker. [NOISE]. >> [INAUDIBLE] I’ll tell what folks,
in 25 years, I have never witnessed anything, that even closely resembles
what we have just witnessed. This was the most unbelievable. I’m going to say that nothing anywhere in
any other federation, I’m telling you far, none has ever come close to this. These two men,
gave you everything in their body. They gave you up their soul here tonight, these two WWF superstars. And these people are standing and
cheering, for the effort. What a desire, for what they have just
seen from two phenomenal athletes. >.
We gotta get some medical attention in here. Look at the Undertaker standing there and those tacks are sticking out
of his arms as well [NOISE]. >> This has been the most ungodly match, that I think, we will perhaps ever see. That’s doctor Francois Petit in the ring,
and the EMTs are in now. We said that. >> Get him off of his back. There’s probably about 500 nails and
tacks sticking in his back. >> We said that one of these men
probably would not walk out. The Undertaker is walking out,
but very slowly. He may never be the same. And then you have Mankind [NOISE]. >> Never seen anything like it in my life. >> If there is a more, courageous
individual, in this sort of environment, I would like, folks, for
you to introduce him to us. JR, this match should have been over
in the first, minute and a half when. When he was thrown off
the top of that cage. When Mankind was hurled off
the top of the cell right here. This happened in the first minute and
a half of the match. Look at this. My gosh. We thought if the match
would be over at that point. >> Then from there, he came back. A sickening thud,
Mankind then gets to the big basket. [CROSSTALK] And then a thumbtacks. >> This happens about 30 minutes after he
was thrown off at the top of the cell. >> And then with thumb tacks sticking
in his flesh, in his ring attire, a tombstone piledriver. And as a result of that hellacious
matchup, Mankind is being–. He’s gonna have to carry,
be carried out of here. >> Look at these guys in the ring, look at the thumbtack sticking
out of their boots [NOISE]. >> Look at Mankind, it’s almost
as if he doesn’t want [APPLAUSE]. >> You are kidding. >> To leave on a stretcher
[NOISE] [APPLAUSE]. And Terry Funk,
putting aside their personal issues, and they have those [INAUDIBLE]. >> How can he–. How can he stand, much less walk [INAUDIBLE]. [NOISE]
>> It’s another, that’s not. >> That’s Doctor Rome Scavenger Hunt. >> Right? >> Look at this, JR. >> Just been hit. Look at this [NOISE]. [INAUDIBLE]
>> Good job, man. Good job. >> Unbelievable. >> Standing ovation [APPLAUSE]. >> By God, if anybody ever
deserves a standing ovation, whether you like him or
you don’t, that’s your business. But how anybody could,
not admire the effort of this man. Mankind, Mick Foley and
the Undertaker is beyond me.

  1. This is why Mannkind, Mick foley, and Hippie is in my top 10 wrestlers of all time. Out of my 40 years of watching WWF. He performed like this a lot of times. He doesnt have a lot of titles but he has slipped into my top 10. I did a top ten list awhile back.

  2. Classics 2025 Classics WWF WWE let's goooooo 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

  3. Recently this match was uploaded with the spanish narration, however it was from a dub recording and not the live commentary from Carlos Cabrera and Hugo Savinovich wich's what spanish fans have wanted for so long.
    A complete yet ignored part of this match's story is what those two said when Foley fell towards their table from the top of the cell.

  4. That foo died like 4-5 times and he still keep getting up 😂 that foo is a True Legend (Mick Foley) 👏🏻 😮wow he took WWE TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL

  5. "History repeats itself"proved wrong their there never gonna be a hardcore classic like this
    Salute to the legends
    We are very proud to born in this era

  6. This is one of the few matches that went 0 to 100 real quick!! Legendary match by two all time greats!!!

  7. There are Many great entertainers on this planet. Some sing songs, some act in movies but, Mick Foley is the GREATEST one ever to do it. This match is proof!

  8. 14:05 When the officials locked the Hell in a Cell, I thought before that they wanted these guys to beat the hell out of each other all the more. Later I thought, perhaps they locked it to prevent these two from going on top of the cell to do further damages to themselves. 😂

  9. Well I saw this match for the first time but who had to endure every extreme was Mankind, technically he lost and Undertaker is Undertaker but he's like a winner in the match.

  10. I remember watching this as a ten year old. Mankind legit got thrown from basically a 3rd story. Gets back on the cage and basically takes another almost 3 story fall straight down with a steel chair. Mankind was a beast. This match was legendary. The commentary made it even so much better. “God as my witness he is broken in half.” “Will somebody stop the damn match.” “That’s it he’s dead!” And then the thumb tacks. Oh my god I couldn’t imagine the pain.

  11. i remember when mankind got off the gurney after the 1st fall and then went back to the top of the cell … the chills ! 🙂 No, it was not over …

  12. 12:48 I remember when J.R. would every so often say, "He got choke slammed right outta his boots!" I'm assuming that originated from here.

  13. This match Made Foly the harcore legend for real for real.Who else could take all that punishment willingly…

  14. If you can take a bump like that and still give a hand squeeze. You are one of the toughest people ever. Respect to Mick always

  15. This match…no wrestler in the history of the business has voluntarily given us more than Mick Foley. No disrespect to other wrestlers but this match, in my eyes, is the greatest match ever 💯

  16. coming back after 27 years to say this is by far the best wrestling match of all time. WWF was peak, and mankind, undertaker, and kane carried the whole ‘dark side’ of the WWF world. mick foley took a beating his whole career but this moment is by far the craziest. legendary, nearly impossible to be topped.
