The alter egos of Foley and Funk, Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie, were locked in a fierce rivalry with The New Age Outlaws, Road Dogg & Billy Gunn. On February 2, 1998, this feud escalated to new heights when Road Dogg & Billy Gunn shoved a dumpster onto Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie, who were lying inside.
While speaking on the latest Foley is Pod, Mick Foley revealed that Vince McMahon had to be talked out of taking that bump himself earlier in the day.
“Vince McMahon had to be talked out of taking a dumpster bump earlier in the day,” Mick recalled. “He wanted to do it himself [laughs]. I was like, ‘Vince, you own and run this company. We don’t know what’s going to happen. What happens if you’re badly hurt?”
Mick then imitated Vince’s response, “‘I would never want any of you to do something that I wouldn’t be willing to do.’ Then I pulled him over to the side. I was like, Vince, it’s my gimmick, right? You’re gonna kill my gimmick if you’re taking the same bumps I’m taking.”

Regardless, we will have to wait and see what Vince McMahon will end up doing in the coming weeks.
