#7 Mankind’s first title
Trending
Monday Night, back in the day, was a war between WCW and the WWF for better ratings. The two companies were always shoulder to shoulder here - with the WWF mostly behind -but everything changed after this moment.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Mankind and The Rock’s feud reached its pinnacle when the former beat the latter for the title, thanks to some assistance from Stone Cold Steve Austin. Vince McMahon had his Corporation team in the ringside to ensure that Foley doesn’t end up as the champion.
Mankind, however, was also not without help as DX were by his side to provide assistance. In the end, Steve Austin smashed a chair on The Rock’s head and placed Foley’s battered body over his opponent after which the referee counted to three.
WCW commentary feed, at the time, made the blunder of announcing Foley’s championship-winning news and it was reported that an estimated 600000 people changed their channel to watch the moment.
After this, WCW never won the rating war again.
