Mick Foley on Being Remembered Mostly For the Hell in A Cell Spot: “It Bothered Me”

When people say “Hell in A Cell” the first image that flashes through everyone’s minds is that one still of The Undertaker pushing Mankind off of the roof of the cell right into the announcer’s desk.

Over the years, this iconic moment has been an integral part of both The Undertaker’s and Mick Foley’s careers. However, Mick Foley soon became a name that became synonymous with this iconic spot.

In a recent interview with Fan Fest, Foley revealed that this fame bothered him back in the day. However, he soon got over that feeling and understood the real importance of the spot in everyone’s minds.

For a while, it kinda bothered me that that was the only thing people remembered me for. But as is often the case with iconic characters whether it be Batman or the Fonz, after a while you stop regretting it and realize how lucky you are to be a part of something people remember so fondly. (With the anniversary) I’ve had a great time bringing that night back to life on stage and I enjoy talking about it with a lot of people who were not even born when that match took place 20 years ago.
