#3 First words after creating history

What did Foley say immediately following the match? — What did Mick Foley say immediately following the sensational match?

If there is one memory that people remember from the Attitude Era, it is the visual of Mankind being thrown off the side of Hell in a Cell, and crashing through the announce table. At the conclusion of that match, head writer at the time, Vince Russo, was concerned about the welfare of Foley, especially considering that his kids were in the audience.

Russo went up to Foley and asked him if he was all right. Without missing a beat, Foley replied asking if his match was better than the one between Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell, from the year before. This was a testament to the kind of dedication that Foley showed towards all his matches.
