“Good God Almighty, Good God Almighty, They’ve Killed Him. As God As My Witness, He Is Broken In Half!” In 1998, the landscape of professional wrestling was changed in one swift motion, and in the space of about 7 seconds we experienced one of the craziest spots of all time and probably the most famous moment of wrestling commentary in history. Of course, we’re talking about when Mick Foley crashed through the announcer’s table from the top of the Cell at the King of The Ring pay per view. Join Chris and Tony as they break down this show in full. We spend time on the obvious talking point of Mankind vs Undertaker, but we also go through the rest of the card, focusing heavily on Ken Shamrock, his style and how well he grasped the wrestling business, what happened to the Nation of Domination, and Mick Foley’s contribution to the business. There’s also discussion about Vince McMahon’s classic heel status at this stage and how he handles it superbly well. Plus a tip of the cap to Pat Patterson during a difficult time in his personal life. Support the show (http://paypal.me/scottishsmarks)
