WWE is all about moments. Hulk Hogan slamming Andre the Giant at WrestleMania 3 created the wrestling boom. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Mike Tyson’s brawl on Raw was pandemonium. Cody Rhodes finishing his story at WrestleMania 40 is one of the most sentimental moments in wrestling history. One moment lives rent-free in the minds of fans and the culture: Mankind being thrown off Hell in a Cell by The Undertaker. If you haven’t seen the match, Foley was thrown off the cell within the first five minutes. He then continued to work the match! Moments later, Undertaker chokeslammed him through the cell roof. Insane. When Foley fell to the mat, a steel chair knocked out one of his bottom teeth, and pushed another into his nose. Speaking about the consequences of this on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Foley revealed that years later, he removed a tooth with a hammer. One of them was knocked out, the other was knocked in and chipped in half. They put the other tooth back in. When I got back from the match, it was in a glass of milk to keep it vital. 8 years later, Foley revealed they started turning colors, so he took matters into his own hands. I pulled one out with a ball-peen hammer and a pair of pliers because even though dentists will let children keep the teeth they lose, with adults, it’s considered medical waste. I took one of them out. Foley also detailed an incident in New Amsterdam where he was interrogated because he “looked suspicious” with his missing teeth. To get past security, he asked the guards to Google: “Mick Foley Hell in a Cell.”
