He made taker look more dangerous cause of hardcore match but he was already over and second big veteran after bret and then leader after bret went to wcw
People always forget how important the Dude Love vs Austin feud was for Austin too. The fact of the matter is that Foley elevated EVERYONE he wrestled against. He was selfless and a master of psychology, the kind of guy that is once in a generation and the business is better for their existence
@@ctromsky5729 true but to be fair Austin was going to pop without dude love help ...Everyone could see what was happening with him he was hot as fish grease ..:in my elementary school the only wrestling t shirts that were allowed was Austin’s lol
He could absolutely wrestle technically my dude. He broke in and trained with Shane Douglas and Shane had always maintained that Mick could do classic amateur based wrestling.
Such a great rivalry between to great hungry superstars! they truly made each other so much better & if it wasn't for Foley's work with Hunter in 1999-2000... HHH's feud with The Rock wouldn't haven't gotten as over as it did! Great Video man!
Foley made the Rock AND HHH look like and feel like main eventers through their feuds with Mick. And I don't know why, but I always felt like this was Mick returning the favor for Hunter putting over both Dude Love AND Cactus Jack upon Foley introducing both to the then-WWF.
Foley's matches with The Rock in late 1998 and early 1999 made Rock into a legit badass. Their I Quit match at the 1999 Royal Rumble is scary to watch.
HHH and Mick Foley carried the WWF along with the Rock when Austin and Undertaker were out during 99-00. I loved Mick and hearing the tires screech was my big pop for awhile there (Mick's entrance music)
This is why HHH wanted to be the Top Heel. He knew that Austin, Rock, Foley, and whomever else were the Top Babyfaces needed a worthy foil, and he wanted to be THAT. He knew that was his proper Role.
@2005 Cool Year now tell us who Shane ripped off, and don't pretend as if that overrated JACKASS didn't rip anyone off. He wanted to be Flair so badly.
@@anthonyclark9441 I loved HHH as heal but he was given a lot of special treatment. for example Mick Foley was simply a "jobber" to him. Mick Foley lost every time when he faced triple h for the wwf championship belt, even during tag matches triple h pinned Mick Foley. "5" consecutive loses to triple H. At least when rock was heel, he still traded the belt with mick foley.
@@hasan_1888 blame Vince for that not HHH. It's Vince's show, he runs it the way he wants, and he makes the final decision. Mick was never really more than a Jobber to Vince. Or at the most a nice STOP GAP CHAMP, or a guy that can get others over. Which he did for HHH in 97, and in 2000.
We always talk about the video package for WM17 (The Rock vs Austin) being the greatest build up to a main event, which I rightly agree with, but the video packages for RR 2000 and NO WAY OUT 2000 (HHH vs Cactus) are strong contenders for perfect build ups.
Your channel has reignited the love of wrestling I used to have. I've even gone as far as to get into local training and maybe even get in the ring in half a year on the local circuit.
@@DKTheDarkKnight he wasn’t fully over as a credible main event draw until that Foley feud. He wasn’t THE GUY...he was the guy who worked with THE GUY. After February, when he retired Foley...that was what cemented his credibility as a main eventer.
People still acting like trips wasn't a made man since 97 and supposed to be in 96 long before the marriage or reign of terror why can't it be that THEY had a good match gtfoh with that foley made triple h I'm wondering now is triple h underrated or underappreciated lol
When you think of the classic rivalries in wrestling, you have to include Triple H vs Mick Foley, it's one of the most legendary wars of all time that spilled bucket loads of blood. It did wonders for both of their careers and character development. It showed how tough Triple H really was and how vicious Mick Foley could get regardless of what persona he was portraying. They had lots of great matches on TV and ppv but their street fight at the Royal Rumble in 00 was their absolute best ever. In my honest opinion, Foley helped put Triple H on the map as the top heel in the the business while Triple H did an excellent job in showing fear towards a true hardcore legend and putting him over as this dangerous maniac Excellent video as always and keep up the good work
At Summerslamm 1997, when Mick ripped his shirt it was not to reveal his Cactus Jack singlet, but to expose a heart on his chest as a reference to Dude Love. The heart on his chest had washed of due to sweat and the rubbing of the fabric. If you look carefully you can see a red stain mark on Mick'c chest. That and he also did the Dude Love dance (or at least tried).
Probably the feud I was most emotionally invested in at the time. Rock v Austin was great, but the story and longevity in Cactus v Triple H is compelling.
The moment when Foley reveals the Cactus Jack shirt in the lead-up to the street fight was so good. Trips sold it amazingly well looking like he'd seen a ghost.
One of my all time favourite feuds. The match psychology of their street fight is one of the best examples of how to do violence right. And the moment mankind transformed into Cactus Jack still sends shivers down by spine!
People should see this and understand that Triple H just didn't skyrocketed to main event but crawled his ass up. Many hardcore matches where he absolutely bled and either won/ lost. Guy is an absolute legend
I remember this rivalry was what mainly got me into wrestling as a kid. The switch from mankind into cactus jack to fight triple h made me an instant fan of Mick Foley. The street fight and the hell in a cell matches were my favorite.😁
11:36 The idea was to have Mick show a hart painted on his chest, for the return of Dude Love, but as he sweated during the match, the paint ran out. So he just showed his Cactus Jack singles with a pink mush on the chest
I truly believe that Foley made the careers of both The Rock and Triple H. Yes, both Rock and Triple H were champions before their feuds with Foley. But their respective matches with Mankind and Cactus Jack established them as legit badasses.
Growing up in that era, this was probably the defining rivalry for me, the other being rock and austin, (not including mcmahon austin). Foley was and still is my favorite. As a 9 year old watching foley lose the HIAC i was heartbroken. But i look back on those matches with great fondness. They were both great professionals who told a great story!! What a great video, keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!
Gotta love HHH not being bothered by Mankind/Dude Love and then being terrified of Cactus Jack! Always makes me laugh...BANG BANG! (G.W Bush met Foley once and did the BANG BANG gun fingers to him)
This was fantastic. Rumble 2000 match is one of my faves of all time. Great work! Would love to see more rivalry videos. Your storytelling is fantastic 😆
One of the most important rivalries for both men and my personal favorite one. I was so invested, and Triple H's face when Cactus Jack got revealed STILL sends chills down my spine.
Flair may be known as the measuring stick, but Mick has served a vital and very similar role in the WWF. Even though he's been on the losing end of many of his rivalries which does admittedly suck, you don't squash Mick Foley. You *survive* him. Main-eventers like Undertaker, Edge, Randy Orton and HHH have all been on the receiving end of the Hardcore legend, and their bodies paid the price though they came out on top.
I agree, watch the match where y2j “won” the wwf title before mania 2000, he got a tremendous crowd response, he would of done good in the mania main event
Cactus Jack was absolutely insane! Great vid... I'll, again, humbly request a look into the Mick Foley & Terry Funk rivalry which included one of the best matches I've ever seen, which I'm pretty sure was on RAW billed as Mick Foley v Chainsaw Charlie.
Bret once questioned to what has HHH ever done. I’m gonna be honest, he was the fuel to the Foley’s fire. The chemistry between this two rival Bret v Shawn and Rock v Austin. Just two great workers.
Channel 4 started showing Sunday night heat in Ireland in late 1999. They also started showing some free ppv's. Royal rumble 2000 was the 1st ppv I ever saw. Didn't know anything about the hardy boyz, table matches, bubble wrap bikini's or street fights. I was 16 and stayed up until 4 a.m to watch it with my older brother. We were blown away with how awesome it was. Not just the wrestling but the stories being told. From that night on Foley has always been my favourite wrestler. Stone cold and the rock were cool but Foley always had so much more depth. Like your favourite book everytime you read it you discover something new and profound. I didn't know it at the time until my older brother started talking about him, that that was the same cactus jack we used to watch in WCW on ITV years earlier when he feuded with Big Van Vader and went missing as a homeless man. Thanks for bringing all those great memories back wrestling bio's your channel is one I always look forward to clicking on. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for another great upload 👍. Indeed Mick Foley & Triple H helped each others careers like Foley did with The Rock. Foley & Undertaker had great chemistry too but difference was Undertaker was already made. Keep great videos coming matey 👍♥️🙏
One of the best rivalries of all time, an example of opposites attracting and creating magic. It's interesting how they had little to do with eachother in 1998, despite the fact HHH's DX went huge and turned him babyface, while Foley went heel for a lot of the year, so they could have faced eachother but with a totally different dynamic. Also weird is the fact that Foley's first title win had HHH in the ring celebrating with him and hoisting Foley up on his shoulders with the rest of DX. It's quite a sight in relation to their usual rivalry.
The feud was really great. When New York was shown on the titan-tron when all Three Faces of Foley was on the same screen was amazing. That pop was INSANE.
I just rewatched the Street Fight from Royal Rumble and the HIAC from No Way Out. I have to say that the Street Fight is miles ahead of the HIAC. The cell match is very good, but that Street Fight has to be one the best matches I've ever seen.
Chyna was such a beast! I loved the dynamic with her and HHH. She actually mattered when she was at ringside (as you pointed out numerous times in this video). Can you please do an in-depth video on her career? The previous video is an overview of her life, but as it’s 5 years coming up to her death, a very detailed analysis on her career (1997-2001) and how she transitioned and professed would be so touching.
Great feud! Another feud I hope this channel will elaborate on is The Rock vs Chris Jericho! That rivalry was so cool to me! Keep bringing quality content Wrestling Bios!
I remember the big show boiler room brawl I always thought they should do more! And the 2000 royal rumble what an amazing ppv that really was. Great video as always makes me smile remembering all this.
My favorite rivalry as a teenager and got me back into wrestling again from 2000. Cactus really put over Triple H in a big way and made the ‘game’ the badass top heel of that year and then (annoyingly) the decade to come on Raw. Still say as one final gift from the WWF they should of given Cactus the title at the Rumble 2000 street fight even if he’d of lost it the night / week after, Foley deserved one last championship.
I wouldn’t necessarily say the rock and undertaker got where they are today solely because of mick foley. Triple h maybe but both of them had already established themselves before they had their feuds with him.
Foley was responsible in putting over 3 of the biggest stars ever in wrestling:
Triple H, Taker and Rock
Nah I think taker put him over taker was already established
Taker was already over
He made taker look more dangerous cause of hardcore match but he was already over and second big veteran after bret and then leader after bret went to wcw
People always forget how important the Dude Love vs Austin feud was for Austin too. The fact of the matter is that Foley elevated EVERYONE he wrestled against. He was selfless and a master of psychology, the kind of guy that is once in a generation and the business is better for their existence

Triple H always sold his terror of Cactus Jack perfectly. Every time Cactus was revealed The Game looked like he'd seen Keyser Soze
Mrs.Foley's Baby Boy in Madison Square Garden pile-driver to Trips on the Table... Bang bang.
Cactus Jack vs HHH at the 2000 Royal Rumble is one of the best matches of all time!
Facts
So good i found the hell in the cell match between the two didn't live up to it.
I agreee
The first is the Canadian Stampede match... One Hell of the night... Who needs the ring...fighting on the parking outside was awesome...
There’s no comment i can make that would do justice with how much I agree with you
Is it me or does anyone else get goosebumps from triple h's theme from this time
I like it a lot more then the Motörhead one
🤘
Yessss! Such a badass theme and so nostalgic! Can't state how much I love that theme!
I think this was his best theme
it fit who he was at the time
Mick Foley wasn't a wrestling technician but he still legitimized his opponents due to his hardcore repertoire
easy to say until you are locked into a double arm DDT
He could absolutely wrestle technically my dude. He broke in and trained with Shane Douglas and Shane had always maintained that Mick could do classic amateur based wrestling.
OSW review did a great statement on that. Mentioning that basically if you wanted a rising wrestler to look tough, you put him with Mick Foley.
@@Thor-Orion Are there any technical style matches with Foley out there online? I'm curious, I've only seen his hardcore wrestling.
Foley did a gimmick in ECW where he despised hard-core and used a lot of technical holds.
Such a great rivalry between to great hungry superstars! they truly made each other so much better & if it wasn't for Foley's work with Hunter in 1999-2000... HHH's feud with The Rock wouldn't haven't gotten as over as it did! Great Video man!
Mick is an ICON!
Foley made the Rock AND HHH look like and feel like main eventers through their feuds with Mick. And I don't know why, but I always felt like this was Mick returning the favor for Hunter putting over both Dude Love AND Cactus Jack upon Foley introducing both to the then-WWF.
So dope seeing you here @Chiseled Adonis! I love you knockout videos 😆
Absolutely 💯 percent right 👍
Foley's matches with The Rock in late 1998 and early 1999 made Rock into a legit badass.
Their I Quit match at the 1999 Royal Rumble is scary to watch.
Shouldn't surprise me now, but all his intro remixes are dope
Facts
One of the main reasons I subscribed haha
Is "dope" a good thing?
@@igorivanov299 it’s slang for cool that’s dope aka that’s cool
@@Leogetz91490
Ok forgive my ignorance of this word. I'm Russian guy
At the royal rumble triple h vs cactus jack, made the game
*"You talk about being students of the game? I am the f*cking Game J.R!"*
That was a Star Making Promo
This and Austin/Rock just defined the Attitude Era. Those 4 men gave the absolute best in the ring and brought out the best in one another.
Never forget Undertaker's impact brother..
@@brucewhite360 I like the phenom more then the American badass
you are forgetting shawn Michaels...he was much bigger in attitude era than hhh.
Also Michaels rivalry with Undertaker was legendary
Going back and watching Mankind take off his mask, shirt, and tie and morph into Cactus Jack is one of my favorite moments in wrestling.
"I think you know him pretty damn well! "
Mick Foley made HHH a main eventer. The Game was so young, undeniably good enough, but he needed the 2000 feud to legitimise him.
HHH and Mick Foley carried the WWF along with the Rock when Austin and Undertaker were out during 99-00. I loved Mick and hearing the tires screech was my big pop for awhile there (Mick's entrance music)
I think anyone watching WWF in 1996 would say that it feels like an entire lifetime.
1995 would feel like a century.
This channel has single handedly replaced Netflix for my bedtime television
Me too!
Same
This is why HHH wanted to be the Top Heel. He knew that Austin, Rock, Foley, and whomever else were the Top Babyfaces needed a worthy foil, and he wanted to be THAT. He knew that was his proper Role.

Mick Foley’s best feud IMO, Triple H is the greatest heel of all time.
Rick flair is the greatest
Honorable mentions: Jake the Snake, Rowdy Ronnie Piper, Eddie Guerrero

This is the one and only wrestling show I look forward too! The work you do is incredible
You beautiful bastard, the return of Cactus Jack in 2000 is my favorite WWF era!
I'm surprised you didnt cover when triple h and DX helped mankind win the championship
The street fight is one of my fav matches ever
It was really interesting to watch the gradual transition of HHH going from blueblood to 'The Game'. Awesome work Wrestling Bios!

Not to mention that Dude Love's music hit after the match and he strutted out of the arena. Mick describes it in great detail in his first book.
Epic rivalry from them loved both the street fights and hell in a cell

Foley was already a legend. Foley made HHH The Kings of Kings. Their matches is legendary.

This was fantastic. Rumble 2000 match is one of my faves of all time.
Great work! Would love to see more rivalry videos. Your storytelling is fantastic 😆
I'll never forget the night after that No Way Out on Raw, they played a video montage of Foley set to a touching song, and it brought me to tears.

He was absolutely able to doll go at a main event level by that point, in the style that the Federation required.
Wait, that was definitely AFTER WM 2000.
A very underrated rivalry
Cactus Jack was absolutely insane!

Bret once questioned to what has HHH ever done. I’m gonna be honest, he was the fuel to the Foley’s fire. The chemistry between this two rival Bret v Shawn and Rock v Austin. Just two great workers.

This was great. Im so glad i got to meet Mick Foley, hes such a legend
Great video for an underrated feud.

This got HHH alot of respect.. he took bumps alot of people never would
I am glad that you did this rivalry. I think it is an underrated feud of the attitude era.
Mick is one of the greats! In and out of the ring.
Wish you would put full versions of the theme mixes. Seriously every time I watch your videos my shoulder involuntarily bumps to the music.
Probably my favorite feud after Austin/Rock during the Attitude Era. The story-telling was on point, great promos and the matches were excellent.
Never realized they had so many matches. Great video, thank you.
Thanks for covering this! One of my Favorite battles in the Attitude Era
The feud was really great. When New York was shown on the titan-tron when all Three Faces of Foley was on the same screen was amazing. That pop was INSANE.
One of my favorite Rivalries in WWE
Their Hell In A Cell match from No Way Out 2000 was so intense, I really wanted Cactus to win that one.
That pedigree on the thumbtacks sure was a crazy bump. I’m kinda surprised Mick Foley didn’t lose an eye from that.
Crazy for normal human beings but just another one of them for Foley
@CHARLES PARTON tell that to the Ultimate Warrior. 😂😂
I just rewatched the Street Fight from Royal Rumble and the HIAC from No Way Out. I have to say that the Street Fight is miles ahead of the HIAC. The cell match is very good, but that Street Fight has to be one the best matches I've ever seen.
The mankind, dude love and cactus Jack titon tron promo will forever be one of the greatest raw moments.

I remember the big show boiler room brawl I always thought they should do more! And the 2000 royal rumble what an amazing ppv that really was. Great video as always makes me smile remembering all this.
Coming back a year after to watch this with 2023 eyes and man, this video is more entertaining. Also, shows your own evolution as a storyteller.
My favorite rivalry as a teenager and got me back into wrestling again from 2000. Cactus really put over Triple H in a big way and made the ‘game’ the badass top heel of that year and then (annoyingly) the decade to come on Raw. Still say as one final gift from the WWF they should of given Cactus the title at the Rumble 2000 street fight even if he’d of lost it the night / week after, Foley deserved one last championship.
Mick Foley is the most selfless wrestler ever. HHH, Undertaker, and The Rock, owe their careers to him.
And Randy Orton too.
I wouldn’t necessarily say the rock and undertaker got where they are today solely because of mick foley. Triple h maybe but both of them had already established themselves before they had their feuds with him.
Hhh notorious for latching onto whoever was getting over in that era.
