While speaking to Inside The Ropes, Mick Foley spoke about the iconic Hell in a Cell match between him and The Undertaker at King of the Ring 1998. Mick Foley remarked that he doesn't like the fact that people still remember him for that one match as he wants to be known for all the other great things he has achieved in his career as well.
I resented being the guy who did the Cell match. For about 15 years someone would and will come up to me at least once a day and ask 'Did it hurt?' I disliked being the guy known for that one match because there are other things I wanted to be known for. (H/T: WrestlingInc)
What I took from [the match] was it's incredible dedication to get over the finish line by whatever means it took. Obviously things went wrong but human beings kind of pick up the pieces
