WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley spoke with Monopoly Events at For The Love of Wrestling 2025 on various topics, including why he never got his teeth replaced after losing them in his 1998 King of the Ring match against fellow WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker.
Foley said, “The reason I don’t replace the teeth, even though they look terrible, is they are a reminder of that night. So I don’t have a house full of wrestling memorabilia because all I have to do is get up in the morning and smile in the mirror and I remember exactly what I did for a living because of that match.”
On what he went through in the match:
“If that same type of thing happened today, the match would be stopped, and that’s like the smart thing and the wise thing, but that wasn’t what we did back in 1998, and I’m kind of lucky it wasn’t because so much of the appeal is trying to watch two human beings continue a wrestling match when one of them is no longer conscious.”
