When you talk about the most legendary matches in WWE history, each fan has his own special list. While some will say Hulk Hogan’s match against Andre The Giant where Hogan body slammed him was the greatest match ever. Some would beg to differ by saying that the match between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 25 was the most memorable one.

But one match in particular left an indelible mark on the fans because of the sheer carnage that was laid at the end of the match. And recently Mick Foley’s daughter got nostalgic about that gruesome match that took place almost 25 years ago.

But what was meant to be a routine Hell in a Cell match ended up becoming the most blood-curdling one ever seen by fans. That’s because, in this match, Mick Foley was thrown right from the top of the 20-foot cage onto the announcers table below. Fans as well as The Undertaker were all worried about Foley’s life at this point in time. But by God’s grace, he got up and continued the match which The Undertaker eventually won.

Foley’s daughter recently posted a video of her and Foley revisiting the same cage and getting all emotional. She wrote, “Today marks 25 years since my dad’s Hell in a Cell match. Every single time I see this match, it makes me emotional, yet I have zero recollection of it happening in real time. It’s crazy to think about what my dad went through in that moment… or should I say moments. But I am forever grateful that my dad was able to get up and walk away after that match. This is a moment that will live on forever. Love you dad ❤️”
