What's y'all thoughts about the match? Was this the match that made ? Foley a legend? Did you gain respect for him and undertaker after this match? Why do y'all think this match is so infamous?

This match was so brutal watching it as a kid. This is honestly my go to match when people say wrestling is child's play. I gained a lot of respect for Mankind and I believe was the match that made him certified to most fans.

i swear watchin that back then taker killed foley

As a 14 year old I was on the cusp of being the "oh this is so fake look at how fake this is" type then Foley took a header off that cage.
I was watching it live, I sneaked to order the show and man the punishment was worth it just for those two Foley spots.
The match itself was just violent as hell, it was WWE really making doing something different and going death match style for a match. -
To me, the trillest moment was Foley getting off the stretcher and climbing back up the cage.

Man the spot where Taker and ? were on the cage and the corner broke when they were walking to the other side....man they both could of been in critical condition had it broke through.
-
i just remember this match being more time ? making sure ? wasnt dead than actual match
-
That match changed the game.

Jim Ross had had his goat commentary during this match
"They killed him! As ? is my witness, he is broken in half!"
"Will somebody stop the damn match!" -
Taker and Mankind feud's solidified to me that Taker is in my top 3 of all time and Folley is in my top 10. This was an incredible match and both fighter's put their body on the line for their feuds-boiler room brawl, buried alive mathes and this match

Remember vividly watchin this on PPV. When Taker wanted to start the match on top of the cage, I knew s*** was about to epic.
I remember watching this at my ex's parents house b/c they ordered it. Damn their went silent when he got thrown off the cage. I literally sat there in disbelief that I just witnessed that...until he got off the stretcher, climbed the cage, and got choked slammed thru it. Then the epic camera shot of him wit his tooth coming outta his upper lip/nose.
Can definitely say top highlight WWE moment I was able to witness.

? Foley swagger jacked what New Jack was doing in ECW, but to Foleys credit that was the first time done with a cage and he had classics or damm near classics with Taker before this match starting in 96.
