Mick Foley knows that all too well. The legendary pro wrestler, who was known as Mankind, Cactus Jack or Dude Love in the prime of his career, was a part of the most memorable Hell in a Cell match as he was thrown from the top of the cage by The Undertaker.

Balor, who will be entering his first Hell in a Cell match, asked Foley for advice on social media.
