WWE legend's daughter was spotted crying over huge match featuring The Rock- Revisiting the 1999 moment after Chad Gable vs. Gunther on RAW 

The recent episode of WWE RAW witnessed a classic match between Gunther and Chad Gable for the Intercontinental Championship. Unfortunately for the challenger, not only did he lose the match, but he did so in front of his family. This moment was reminiscent of Mick Foley's brutal match in 1999.

After weeks of facing each other, Alpha Academy's Chad Gable finally got to battle Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship at WWE RAW. Although the challenger won their previous match and even got significant moments in their bout, The Ring General prevailed. After the bell rang, the camera showed Gable's children watching their father lose. However, this was not the first time something like that happened on the Stamford-based promotion.

WWE legends The Rock and Mankind, one of Mick Foley's persona, had an I Quit match at Royal Rumble 1999. The latter was tossed into the steel steps, suplexed into the barricade, and hit with a ring bell, hammer, and multiple chairs. Both stars went to the stands, and Foley fell 12 feet from the floor to the electrical circuit. Towards the end, Mick was cuffed to the ring while The Great One attacked him. The entire time, Mick's wife, Collette Foley, and their two kids, Noelle and Dewey, watched closely at ringside.

The 1999 match ended after Mick uttered the words "I Quit." It was later revealed that The Great One only used a recording.
