In early 2000, the three-time WWE Champion looked set to retire after numerous injuries began to take their toll on his body.

However, due to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin being ruled out for nine months after neck surgery, he decided to continue performing to help WWE while the company’s most popular Superstar remained sidelined.

This led to two pay-per-view matches against Triple H at the start of the year, beginning with a Street Fight at the Royal Rumble.

Foley recalled that he genuinely thought he could lose his eye when his opponent lined him up to pedigree him onto a set of thumbtacks.
