Loss Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Last few minutes of Cactus vs Mil from the Clash. The famous Nestea Plunge bump, and the great CACTUS JACK IS DEAD call from Jim Cornette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 God, the sound of that smack on concrete is sickening. We cut to Missy for a bit and I was kind of hoping we'd get the Cactus vs. drummer brawl, but oh well. The birth of the Hardcore Legend is right here.

soup23 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Sickening bump and really shitty selling from Cactus on it. As much as he busted on Mil for this match I would be pissed if I was Mil and performed that move only to have him act like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 That was nasty. The announcers both played it up when it happens. Cactus does get up a bit too quick though which kind of weakens the bump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cox Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 He kind of had to get up since he was about to get counted out. My guess is, he could justify it saying he was going to be back in WCW the next week and Mascaras wasn't, so he had to get himself over in losing somehow. Anyway, Cactus' bump remains crazy, and Jim Cornette called this perfectly. And Missy's promo...was that really the best take they got out of her? They hadn't quite beaten the southern accent out of her by this point either, but damn if she doesn't look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Mascaras doesn't look in bad shape here. Terrible Missy promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Mascaras doesn't look in bad shape here. Terrible Missy promo. Was she talking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laney Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Nasty Nestea plunge from Cactus, but yeah it seems like he gets up too quick. I think I remember reading in his book that he wasn't excited about this match at all and knew a match with Mascaras would suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'd love to know what the guys in the back thought when they saw the bump. Ow. Mil didn't look to bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smack2k Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Mascaras doesn't look in bad shape here. Terrible Missy promo. Was she talking? I think her lips may have been moving, not sure, too busy watching other parts move.... Damn she was HOT back then...I dont give a shit WHO she was with, if I had a shot at that time with her, best believe I'd hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 If you thought Cactus Jack was dead after this bump, Corny, you ain't seen nothin' yet! I can see what people are saying about Mick getting up too quickly, but the character of Cactus wasn't supposed to have any sense anyway, so why wouldn't he be crazy enough to try to get up? We criticize guys too much at times for not thinking like performers in a cooperative enterprise. It may not have been good wrestling etiquette for Mick Foley to undersell the bump, but it made sense for Cactus Jack (who's a different entity, even if he shares a body with Mick Foley) to be crazy enough to try to continue the bout. I'm sorry, but I consider myself a red-blooded male, and Missy Hyatt did nothing for me at fifteen and does nothing for me now. Even to my teenage self, there was too little brain to go with that admittedly beautiful body. As far as the promo goes, you'd think that being around Eddie Gilbert would have rubbed off, but it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew wardlaw Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 The thing about Cactus's gnarly bumps during this run is that they only mean something in retrospect. None of his bumps get much of a reaction and they don't mean anything anyway. I don't really blame Foley for doing this stuff, I get the mindset, it just doesn't work in the context of his matches.

GSR Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Cactus tosses Mil to the outside, then hits him with a backbreaker setting him up for the elbow drop to the floor. Cactus climbs on to the apron, turns his back raising his arm and Mil, with no concept or idea of selling, sprints back into the ring and dropkicks Jack who takes a nestea plunge to the floor. His head smacks the concrete and Cornette shouts ‘Cactus Jack is dead!’. Mil suplexes him back in the ring and comes off the top with a bodypress for the pin. The thud of Jack’s head hitting the concrete is sickening and it’s pretty uncomfortable to watch knowing what we now do about concussions. I know people are ragging on Cactus for his lack of selling here, but watch Mascaras after the backbreaker on the outside; that is every bit as bad. Cornette at least puts over the toughness of Cactus after the bump, saying no human being could get back up after that, but he’s doing it.

cactus Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I've not actually seen this before so the bump caught me off-guard. Absolutely sickening. I thought Jack's selling was fine. He wasn't knocked out, just sent loopy and it wouldn't of benefited his character as much if he was just plain KO'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
