Whenever the WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker stepped his foot inside the ring, the crowd was hooked. He managed to turn even the simplest matches into blockbuster events. But there is no denying the fact whenever he was set up against his iconic rival Mick Foley, the two would entertain the fans.

To this day, the nerve-racking Hell in a Cell match between Mankind and The Dead Man, which left the former unconscious, brings a chill down the spine of many. Both the stars tore the house down at King of the Ring 1998. Despite their storied rivalry, they never got to fight on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Sadly, the WWE Universe did not get to see that. But how does Mick Foley feel about not getting a WrestleMania match with The Phenom? Let’s find out.
