Comments

Since I’m surprised nobody mentioned it, this match featured former ECW announcer Joey Styles on commentary. His signature call was indeed OH MY GOD! in his funny voice.

Lol, this is a crazy coincidence. This is one of my favorite matches, and you uploaded it on my birthday.

Fire is extremely rare in WWE. This is one of only two matches I can think of that had fire and the other was an ECW reunion show so that tells you how understandably hesitant they were.

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

Edge stated in that that he got a tattoo on his arm to cover up the scars from the burns in this match.

Thumb tacks have been used more than fire.

In regards to how the fire went out so fast, they use a specific fast-burning lighter fluid that only lights for a few seconds and then burns out. It's specifically so that there is less chance of someone getting actually lit on fire or the fire causing any incidents with the crowd.

This was my favorite match growing up. It didn’t overstay its welcome and just hit every high note they could think of

WWE did do an angle where someone "died". It was Vince himself actually someone blew up his limo with him inside. They had to end the story one week later because the Benoit indecent happened.

Drew Or Die

Love this! The WWE Untold documentary about this match is also phenomenal

Fred Esquef

The Chris Jericho match in 2016.

Chad

Ohhhhh I didn't even connect that it was for the spear

Dport

Foley wrapped himself in barbed wire so that when Edge went for the spear it would hurt him. Also this match was 2 years after the match Mick had with Randy when Bischoff stopped him from lightning the bat on fire

Cameron Miles

I think there is like one or two more times thumbtacks have ever been used in WWE that you haven't seen just to show how rare it is.

Nicholas Kramer

Mick Foley is actually close friends with Edge and Lita in real life. Mick has said that after the match he called his wife and the first thing she asked was "How is Edge?" She didn't even ask how Mick was feeling because apparently she just knew he'd be ok.

Ryan Redd

I just wanted to tell you, most Foley matches do not have thumbtacks. It just happens that the ones suggested to you thus far do. Next one will probably be his I quit match with Ric Flair.

James Hunter

My very first Wrestlemania was 22 and this may have been my first hardcore match. Edge had mentioned that he got burned pretty bad. He also clipped his foot on that spear through the ropes and almost landed on his head

Jeremy Brooks

Incredible opening package with shinedown too. Worth watching the whole thing as an encapsulation of the raunchiest parts of the ruthless aggression era

Blaine Cardwell

This match changed my life at 6 years old lol. My favorite wrestlemania, a definite comfort show
