Bruce Prichard’s insights on the historic Undertaker vs Mick Foley battle

On his podcast, Prichard said that Foley expressed some uncertainty about the outcome of the match when he learned that he would face The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell battle at the 1998 King of the Ring pay-per-view for the sixth time overall.

In his words, “When Mick Foley took the initial bump the first bump of the top of the fu*king cell. He didn’t move. He just laid there like a sack of sh*t. And didn’t fu*king moved. Jim ross’ call on that was oh my god he’s broken in half. Good god he’s broken in half you believe it. And the way they shot it and got of it gave you the impression that oh my god he’s a bit moving. He could very well be dead.”

However, Terry Funk went immediately made sure he was okay. The famous battle, however, continued despite the horrific action, giving the audience a match that never be forgotten.
