Mick Foley reveals how officials pranked him after every casket match against Undertaker
Mick Foley stated that the worst thing about losing the casket match was that WWE officials would take their sweet time in letting him out of the casket.
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley appeared on Inside the Ropes this week, where he opened up on a range of subjects, including his feud with The Undertaker. While talking about their famous casket matches, Mick Foley admitted that working with The Undertaker in casket matches was both a good thing and a bad thing for him. Foley stated that on the one hand, he was working with the biggest superstar in the industry, and on the other, he lost most of the casket matches. He stated that the worst thing about losing the casket matches was that WWE officials would take their sweet time in letting him out of the casket.
“Every night they would slam that thing (casket) shut, and every night I’d be hyperventilating. And I’m being rolled to the back and hand slamming on the casket, and every night without fail, I’d scream for someone to let me out. And every night they would keep me in for an additional five minutes as a rib.”
Mick Foley on what it's like being Buried Alive
In the later part of the interview, Mick Foley remembered the first Buried Alive match he had against The Undertaker. He recalled that after he lost the match, Undertaker chokeslammed him into the grave and started burying him alive. Foley said there was a hollowed-out area under the grave with an oxygen mask but it was a scary experience nonetheless. “Man, I don’t care if they have a mask for breathing or not – it’s a scary feeling. And then I went scrambling, got this thing – a little plastic baggy. I’m breathing in that oxygen, and he’s covering me. I’m being buried alive,” Mick Foley added.
