The guy with the pony tail at the end of the match was Francois Petite, a martial artist & doctor the served as the WWF ringside Doctor at this time. He also played Sub-Zero in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie As for the audio clip of Mick saying "I Quit" It was the next night on Raw Mick had the video truck play his promo from earlier in the night & the clip of him saying "I quit" exposing that The Rock's win wasn't legit & used that to leverage a rematch a few weeks later in the empty arena match at the 1st Halftime Heat that was pre-recorded & broadacst when the 1999 Superbowl halftime show started The plan for this match was for Mick to take only 2 or 3 chair shots, but he said he was unexpected that having his arms tied behind his back made the impact of the chairs even stronger because not having his arms up to absorb part of the blow. He was legit knocked loopy & was supposed to stay down but out of instinct kept getting up or staying up with the later hits. The Rock didn't know what to do & kept giving him 1 more hit in hopes that he would finally stay down but it just kept going. It was a few months after this match Mick said he went to Vince & said he was having trouble remembering things & Vince said "Ok you're done wrestling". he did do more matches with the company but they limited his matches & planned them out to be as low impact as they could be as they worked towards wrapping up his career As for Mick losing his ear, I'm thought video of it didn't exist but it appears there is low quality video out there. I never looked because I never knew it existed since it was a house show in Germany from 1994. In the match prior had 2 Cold Scorpio who after the match complained that the steal cables were too loose (most wrestling rings switched from ropes to steel cables in the 1980's but actual ropes were one of the old school things Vince was always adamant about keeping). The cables were tightened before Foley's match & he did one of his trademark moves, that Cactus Clothesline where his opponent will be against the ropes & he will run at them clotheslining his opponent over the top rope & flipping over the ropes with him. In this case Mick planned to pull down the top rope with him & get it wrapped around his neck so he was handing outside the ring. Because they cables were very tight it was legit chocking Mick & he panicked & squirmed till he slid down to the floor & the cable came up & ripped off 3/4 of his right ear. He knew he was bleeding but didn't know what had actually happened till he saw the referee pick up the piece of his ear & give it to a crew member at ringside to bring to the back in to put on ice. Because of the damage they were unable to reattach the ear piece. Mick wanted to have it preserved in formaldehyde as a souvenir but said it didn't know the language to ask the German doctors to do that. They moved some cartilage from somewhere else to his ear to rebuild the base structure, then once that healed was to get plastic surgery to restore the outer skin of his ear, but by the time the 1st surgery healed he got used to the look & thought it worked for a wrestler no never had the cosmetic fix. He did loose most of his hearing in that ear.

I had to join because I've started to watch you guys and I watched this match LIVE as it happened. The live video (not the actual match, WWE will never upload it.....at least I think) but the camcorder footage of the match (and actually most of that year's Rumble) is on YouTube. Feral, your reaction is the EXACT reaction his wife and kids had (they were in the front row watching; it's in the "Beyond the Mat" documentary) when he was getting pummeled by those chair shots.......13 total.
