This style of cage looks so much better then the fence they use now. Everybody fucked around with fences and know they don't hurt.

I miss this cage.

'Stars' are shittery and Meltzer's opinion should be discarded as any measure of success.

However, among other elements, I would argue that the big reason this match has not remained in the wrestling fan consciousness is because of the hugely indulgent dive. A casual fan may not be able to vocalize it, but deep down they see it for what it is: Foley taking his eyes off the dimes to wank himself off rather than entertain the fans.

Little shit like that can instantly take a fan out of a match and ruin it all.

This match was the most hype I've ever been for a wrestling match. It hit at just the right time when I was getting into wrestling at the age of 12.

For me, 96' and 97' Foley was the best he's ever been. The Mankind vs Taker feud over the urn is one of my all time favorites.

The dive worked in the context of the story though, it wasn't just Mick Foley fulfilling his childhood dream, but also Mankind finally being able to feel accepted/popular as a wrestler, as it was right after they had finished the series of JR's interviews with Mankind to flesh out the character.

Its a shame most youngins will never truly appreciate how cool mick Foley was.

Then you should rate it 5 stars yourself, who cares what other people say?
