And nothing about Foley traumatizing his children? That was straight child abuse.

Imagine if they tried this spot now they would get a lot of backlash from different social media outlets. I remember watching this and thinking this is way too many chair shots to the head.

Blaustein would’ve been a fool not to use the chair shots footage in his movie. It’s not as if he was told beforehand, “OK, Barry, make sure you get Mick’s wife and kids on camera during the assault, but don’t put it in the actual movie.” Ridiculous. Also, if the Rock hadn’t become the megastar he is today, I wonder if these brutal chair shots would be getting a much more critical view by today’s standards. Do you think Sammy Guevara’s “work” with Matt Hardy will get the same pass 21 years from now? If you’ve seen Beyond the Mat, the look on Mick’s face as he’s watching the footage says it all.

From what I remember of it and reading and watching about it, Mick forgot to get out of the ring and make his way up the ramp. I believe Mick kept telling him to hit him again, at least while they were in the ring. By the 5th shot they were supposed to be at the top of the ramp for the ending, but it took 11. There was a miscommunication or whatever obviously but the ref didn’t stop it either (I know they aren’t real refs, but he’s in on it as well and didn’t tell Rock to thing or an alternative etc).

When you watch Dutch Mantell’s podcast now, and see his struggles to remember details of stories, names, places, times and events I think you are seeing Mick Foley in ten years with the same kinds of issues. Dutch even says ‘I can’t remember sometimes because I’ve been hit in the head about 10,000 times’. I hope Foley can stay healthy. He took some of the most insane bumps of all times, and like the Undertaker, when he went through the top of that cage, I thought he was dead too. All good wishes to Mick, and his podcast is pretty good too.

Agree and Conrad can go to Hell jumping on this bandwagon. If he was truly a fan back then you think he'd mention more often how wrestling was being attacked from all sides back then. How were we to know they use real steel chairs in wrestling? Hollywood uses fake chairs yet these stupid fuckers use the real deal because they think we'd know what an actual steel chair shot to the head looks like? Everytime they used to bend those chairs over someone's head I assumed it was proof the chairs were gimmicked because how are they not dead or at the very least severely injured? Either way "Beyond the mat" was playing on the violence of the match and his daughter seeing daddy get beat up. Do actors who die in movies kids cry when they watch their parents in violent films?

This match was actually captured by that movie they were doing called beyond the mat and the two of them worked out the match prior to the beginning of the Pay-Per-View and they didn't really intend for that to happen it was something that was excessive but had we known then and maybe the company didn't check his mouth shut like the NFL did about long-term effects of concussions and concussive impact trauma syndrome he would not have taken all of the chair shots that he did in his career not just this one event Mick Foley got his start in the extreme wrestling world and was really to do anything for decades They both look back on it now and say what we did in the match was excessive and we shouldn't have done it and they warn the future talent now they talk about the dangers of these type injuries and things of that nature fortunately Mick has no serious brain damage that we know about he's very fortunate he had a hip replacement done and that's the only major surgery I know that he's had to endure since his retirement

Mick said years later that he was supposed to be down the aisle by 3rd shot. He doesn't blame Rock now.

Here's the difference. Taker, even in Hell in Cell, took care of Mick. Rock did not. And this ain't the 1st time Rock did that shit with somebody, from other interviews I've heard.

Lmao how tf did Taker protect him? He chokeslammed him through the cell after Foley already fell off the cell, and then went back in and kept beating him, then chokeslammed him straight onto the tacks.

What everyone is afraid to say is, this match was Bloody as Hell!! This match made ECW fans cringe. I believe it was the last time the WWE used blood in any match.

JBL/Eddie Guerrero? DX/McMahons-Big Show? There were many more bloody matches in WWE after 1999.

Provide as many caveats as you want that still does not excuse the lack of common sense shown by the rock, OK so the plan was five chair shots, if it was six or seven that’s one thing oh he got a little carried away did one or two extra…… he did 6 extra chair shots there’s no caveat in the world that explains that, and if “Mick isn’t responding” that should tell you something…

Foley kept sitting up, what was Rock meant to do? I saw Foley do something similar with Sabu and a beer bottle, he keeps getting back up and asking for it. Can't blame Rock as it was a different time of kayfabe and he had to keep going till Foley lay down

It would be real hard to make a gimmick chair. It has to make a noise when you’re hit, and it can’t smash or get damaged or anything so you can’t use wood, or plastic, or rubber because it wouldn’t sound the same.

I know Mick had told Rock before the match that he wanted Rocky to really lay the chair shots in. That aside, (And I’m a fan of both men, always have been.) I feel Rocky did take liberties with Mick, albeit not necessarily on purpose. I think Rocky was caught up in the moment, adrenaline, excitement etc… Otherwise the only alternative is he was being a prick and going overboard on purpose…with no regard for Mick’s health. That match for me ranks up there with Mick vs Taker Hell in a Cell. The brutality that Mick would willingly put his body through, all for the Fans to get their money’s worth, always astounded me. I’m even more astounded that despite the brutal career Mick had, he’s alive, healthy, and coherent 💯😂

Has the rock ever talked about this situation Kopp

I know nobody wants to hear this but most of the blame falls on Foley. What person in his right mind would agree to 5 chair shots to the head if that was even the case? So whether it was 5 or 11, it was a ridiculous idea and blame should be shared all around, but none more the Mick himself.

As much as I love The Rock, I wished New Jack came out to avenge Foley by facing The Rock after this match, lol.

To all the Monday morning, quarterback, people, and the people that have “crucified rock over the years“ for this… The vast majority of you weren’t even there. No one gave a sh¡t until beyond the mat came out, and we saw the emotional reaction from his wife and children… THAT’S what changed it, and Mick didn’t talk about his “hurt feelings“ until after he saw the playback and the reaction of his wife and children also. People have no frame of reference, f*** off.

They did it because they knew we would talking about it over 20 years later. Wrong or right, whatever your opinion is. Like the rock would say. It doesn't matter what your opinion is.

Oh nonsense. That didn't progress anything. It set it far back, and really goes a long way in giving people an idea of what a piece of shit Mick Foley is in real life.

Watch the rock’s snl bit

It was actually Micks idea to do those chair shots. The rock went overboard with the chair shots but only because mick wasn’t at the right spot as they planned it out. Mick wanted the fans to see how mean and evil the rock is m order to sell him as a true heel.

Mick said that his hands being cuffed behind his back prevented him from taking the shots like normal and hurt way more than usual. That's why he wasn't where he was supposed to be during the match.

If it was so hard for Bruce to watch, why didn't he stop it? Bruce was in Gorilla,with the headset on, he had the referees ear. Bruce could have screamed in the referees to take the fucking chair from Rock. As far as head trauma, we didn't need to know anything about head trauma to know that 11 chair shots wouldn't be good for anyone's brain. I like Bruce, but fucking stop with, "I cringed" or nothing anyone could have done. Now it's Blausteins problem.

Rock took liberties, if he was a true professional he would have done the right thing and known that he crossed the line while still in the moment, stopped at 5. He blames Vince and states he (rock) was told by Vince to continue to hit him beyond the 5. I lost respect for rock at that point.

Your trying to make fans believe , care about mankind and that happened fans cried and the Rock hit him but like Rocky he kept coming after him and thats what it showed what man kind showed , maybe a few less but look we are still talking about it , so it worked 👍

Here's what the woke like Conrad mean to say: had the Rock hit Mick 1 more time then Mankind would have killed his whole family just like Benoit and the Bowflex would be 2-0 against wrestlers once Mick hung himself. The only thing we didn't know back then was if the chairs were truly steel or not. The almost always came in with one or got the bell ringers chair so we just assumed they were gimmicked chairs. Afterall the whole point of pro wrestling was to not actually fight each other so you don't have real injuries. Somehow they forgot that part or they're doing a great job hiding the chairs are gimmicked.

Shit happens. Rock was a heel. And played a heel.

There's no way anyone can convince me that The Rock shouldn't catch any shit for what went on at the end of the match. Mick was handcuffed, trying to present his back to have Rock lay off the head shots, and Rock just stopped, circled, and caught him right in the face again. Then, as Mick was stumbling away, back to Rock again, and Rock nails him directly to the back of the head. That last shot, not only could Mick not protect himself, but he wasn't even able to be aware it was coming. Everyone in the WWF knew Mick was the kind of guy who would legitimately kill himself in the ring. He would push through every bit of pain to keep going the distance. He was not going to tell Rock to stop, which isn't the issue. The issue is 100% those last 2 or 3 chair shots. They were done by someone who obviously wasn't concerned at ALL about what they were doing. Rock really could have killed him with those last hits. It's more amazing those didn't kill him, than the fall through the cell. I'm not saying Rock is a bad person or worker....I'm just saying that on that night, during that match, he completely took advantage of the situation and the fact he's never spoken about it to show any semblance of remorse for what he did says a lot.

It was straight up child abuse, complete with the "I'm so sorry" afterwards.
