[1998-06-22-WWF-Raw] Mankind promo

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

The cell descends during Mankind's promo. He's upset about Paul Bearer being injured last week in the Undertaker attack. Mankind promises a good night at King of the Ring. Not his best prediction.

[Zenjo]

His gimmick involved being a masochist. King of the Ring would be a very, very good night.

I liked this promo from Mick as Mankind. I love how much depth we have seen from him in his character work in 1998 as this is completely different tonally from the Dude promos and even his Mick Foley stuff when Vince fired him. I am looking forward to revisiting Hell in a Cell.

This totally rejuvenates the Mankind/Taker feud. It felt like Taker was feuding with Vince and Bearer this month and besides Mankind costing Taker the number one contenders spot not much build has been done until here. Kane was totally distraught about Taker attacking Paul Bearer at his home. Mankind says he will make it all right and delivers an incredible intense promo. It is scathing calling Undertaker a coward and promising revenge. Foley has been on fire as a promo this year.

Undertaker followed up last week by assaulting Paul Bearer as he was cutting a promo from his home. "You think I forgot where you live?!"

 

Mankind draws upon his passion for the Civil War and draws an analogy to his history with the Undertaker. Mankind was hoping for a reconciliation and a nostalgic reminiscing of his past battles with Undertaker...until he attacked Uncle Paul. Now he's going to see to it that his last act on earth is urinating on Undertaker's grave. He also promises a surprise for King of the Ring. One of Foley's best promos of the year.

Last good Foley promo for 18 months.
