WWE: 10 Most Paused Wrestling Moments 7

7. Foley’s Tooth

One of the great Attitude Era mythology moments was Mick Foley’s tooth sticking out of his nose at King of the ring 1997. It was the infamous Hell in a Cell bout versus Undertaker, Foley had already been tossed off the cell roof and through the ceiling. On close inspection with a well timed pause, you can clearly see what looks like a tooth sticking out of his nose. Officially, the tooth is said to have shot back through his mouth and up through his sinuses to come back out of the nose. Unofficially it has also been disputed as a piece of table which ended up sticking to Foley, later being put into the fiction of the match as a symbol to Mankind’s craziness.
Even for those who believe it is Foley’s tooth, there are various conspiracy theories to how it ended up in his nose. Did Foley just place it there wanting to create a visual? For years after the event, fans were still pausing at key points to determine just how and when exactly the tooth would have ended up in Foley’s nose. It looks like it was just one of those freaky things, with numerous pauses still not clarifying which specific impact knocked the enamel out.
