WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently appeared on D-Von Dudley’s YouTube channel, where he discussed various topics. One key point he made was his belief that if social media had existed in 1998, during his legendary Hell in a Cell match against The Undertaker at the King of the Ring event, it would have overshadowed the match’s legacy.
Foley said, “No one saw this one coming, right? Nobody saw it coming. I think for a few years after this, there was a sense that people were trying to top this, but you could tell that they’re trying to top it. Whereas this was, not only was it completely unexpected, but it grew organically in fans’ minds. There was no social media at that time. I think if it had been on social media, it would have been a big deal for three or four days and then been largely forgotten. So I was lucky that people talked about it.”
