Cactus Jack vs Triple H Street Fight - Royal Rumble 2000

Nah... a full plank pedigree sell into thumbtacks is just ridiculous.

This event is very special to me as it was my first live PPV at age 19! The attendance was 19K or so. The short entranceway used at MSG allowed for more people to attend. I imagine only 16K or so would have been able to attend with the full ramp setup. The barbed wire bat swap was evident on TV as the wire was all messy before it got to the table, and then all of a sudden it was perfect after the swap. Your reactions to the thumbtacks are top-notch!

Big Ell

you get it then lol

Dport

As a former factory worker, pallets are dangerous!

Derek Weaver

But he said he wanted to see fire

Karen

Oh he may end up seeing that if bad matches wins the poll and someone suggests Hogan vs Warrior 2

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

I’ve actually never seen the match in full before.

I think it's time to take a break from thumbtacks lol. Too much all in a row and it becomes not special.

That's a match that is almost impossible to watch now given what we know about head trauma. I definitely wouldn't want to suggest anyone watch that match.

One explanation for the early pins is that it forces your opponent to waste energy in kicking out.

nah man they had it planned. even foley wouldn't do a crazy spot like that on the fly

. the DANIMAL .

that one's just sad

Mick Foley lost 2/3 of his ear during a match in Germany. He was going into the ropes going a choking in the ropes spot and the ropes were too tight. He only had one decision other then be choked to death was to get through it and it took 2/3 of his ear. Micks done a full podcast episode about it I probably messed up some of the details on that. He has a podcast that he doesn’t do anymore but he did it for a little bit and talked about everything including most of the stuff you’ve watched.

John Coffey

Knowing the backstory I’ll never watch that match again.

Phillyman!!

Im surprised no one recommended Rock vs Mankind Royal Rumble 1999. They did a whole documentary on that match

Tk Banks

I knew that was dangerous 😆

Dport

Yea that cut on HHH leg was when he got suplexed on the pallet and a piece of the wood impaled him

Tk Banks

I maybe in the minority but HHH theme My Time is my favorite of all his themes

Tk Banks

I think josh will want a break from foley Street fight matches that have tacks lol foley crazy doing the stuff he did to entertain us I read somewhere last year he like 1 more match

Ryan Evans

And speaking of stages. Look up wcw Halloween havoc 1998. Best ppv stage in wcw ever.

Phillyman!!

Mick is the goat as a fan of hardcore wrestling I loved how he was just always down for any spot

Matt

Now you have to do the WrestleMania 22 match with Foley and Edge.

They did swap out the barbed wire where you thought. When they meet again at the next PPV for a Hell in a Cell match (No Way Out 2000 great match as well) they just used the real thing because the fake barbed wire still left holes in Triple H's head.

Nicholas Kramer

Time for one last one? (That’s not an hour long)

Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett

Also foleys ear was ripped off in a match with vader in germany. His head got stuck in the ropes and it just tore his ear out

Mahmood Al Mardi

Fun fact the pedigree into the thumbtacks was not supposed to happen. Foley improvised kicking out from the first pedigree and whispered to triple h to pedigree him on the tacks for a better finish

Mahmood Al Mardi

Btw the first pedigree was supposed to be the end. Mick foley himself decided to kick out and told hhh to do it on the tacks lmaooo. And in 1994 or 95 Mick got caught in between the ropes and trying to get out his ear left off.

Phillyman!!

Mick foley/mankind/cactus Jack/dude love….he was one crazyyyy dude

Optilliam

it seems people sell the pedigree worse now bc im pretty sure you have to let go of the arms now. Before it was really easy to mess up bc they couldn't protect themselves with their arms being held
