One of the most iconic matches in WWE history is the ‘I Quit’ Match for the WWE Championship between The Rock and one of WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley’s personalities, Mankind. The Great One managed to win the match and the championship. But in order to win, The Rock had hit Foley with a steel chair multiple times on his head.
Recently, the WWE Hall of Famer, Mick Foley, was interviewed on the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. During the interview, the Hardcore Legend shared that taking 11 chair shots to the head was a bad idea. He is also happy that nowadays, chair shots to the head are not allowed in WWE.
“I’m glad that chair shots to the head are gone. I mean, you see them once in a great while, but you will never — and hopefully there’s no one doing this on the independents. You’ll never see a match like the one I had with The Rock with the 11 shots, that was definitely overkill. I’m glad. That was tough.
“That wasn’t a fun watch. I actually did a watch along with some fans to celebrate whatever anniversary we just passed on that. It was actually a fun match up until the chairs. There was a lot of good dialogue on the microphone, Rock of course with the humor. It was really going well and then that ending was just a little much,” Mick Foley said. [H/T Fightful.com]
