This is the most famous case of someone losing their teeth in a WWE ring and it’s not even close. If you take a look at the picture of Mick Foley above and look closely, you’ll be able to see a white dot situated in his left nostril. That isn’t something that’s popped up after the photo was proceeded, or a rogue piece of fabric that had somehow ripped itself off of his white shirt, that is one of Foley’s teeth.

The Hell in a Cell match between Mick Foley and The Undertaker is one of the most iconic matches in wrestling history and has transcended pop culture in the near three decades since it took place. The visual of Foley’s Mankind character both learning and failing to fly in real time is engrained into the minds of everyone who saw the match live, as well as the people who have gone back to watch and analyze it, and as we all know by now, Foley suffered some horrific injuries after being thrown off of, and through the Hell in a Cell structure.

As expected, Foley suffered a massive concussion from the two most famous bumps in the match, while also suffering internal bleeding and bruised ribs. He dislocated both his shoulder and his jaw, and received various puncture wounds thanks to the thousands of thumbtacks that were introduced halfway through the match. However, there was one puncture wound that wasn’t visible to the audience, but it was easily the most disgusting of all. Foley had several of his teeth knocked out thanks to the impact of the two falls, but one of his teeth decided that it didn’t want to leave Foley’s mouth, and decided to take a trip through the roof of his mouth and into his nose. There is an iconic shot of Foley smiling into the camera, mouth leaking blood, and a tooth sticking out of his nose, something that is almost as memorable as the bumps he took in the match.

When he got to the back, Foley received a standing ovation from the rest of the locker room, including Vince McMahon who might have appreciated what Foley did to himself on that night, but asked him to never do anything like that ever again. The match obviously took its toll on the “Hardcore Legend” as he would retire from full-time wrestling just two years later, and has been very open about how much pain he still feels to this day. As for his teeth, Foley would actually embrace the gaps in his mouth and not have them fixed as it is always a reminder, whenever he looks in the mirror, of that legendary night.
