I dont think its criminally neglected by the GAA at all, its just even more location specific than hurling, theres many state of the art alleys being developed recently.Its never going to get the same media coverage as t'other two , but theres usually a mention of it in match programmes and www.handball.ie is a deadly resource , theres even a forum for setting up matches with lads if ya fancy yerself!
 
I think one of my new flatmates may be racist. I'm an incurable liberal, so we should get along juuuuuuuuuuuuust fine.

Foley then reverted to his Mankind character, who began wearing an untucked shirt with a loose necktie and feuding with the Undertaker. At King of the Ring 1998, the two competed in the second-ever Hell in a Cell match. The match became one of his most famous of all time, as Foley received numerous injuries and took two extremely dangerous and highly influential bumps. The first one came as both wrestlers were brawling on top of the cell, and the Undertaker threw Mankind from a height of sixteen feet and sent him crashing through the Spanish announce table. This fall was planned. According to Foley in Mick Foley's Greatest Hits and Misses, the second was accidental. With both men back on the top of the cell, Undertaker chokeslammed Mankind, and a section of the cage gave way. Foley fell through and hit the ring hard. A chair that had been atop the cage also slammed Foley's head and knocked out a tooth as he hit the canvas. He was also knocked unconscious for a few moments from the impact, but he finished the match after waking up. Although Mankind lost, both wrestlers received a standing ovation for the match, and the event is often said to have jump-started Foley's main event career.

Many future matches attempted to replicate some of the spots from this match. In his autobiography Have a Nice Day! A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks, Foley wrote that he couldn't remember much of what happened, and he had to watch a tape of the match to write about it. The match was voted Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Match Of The Year for 1998. Although many fans regard the match as a classic, it has generated controversy as well. Critics charge that the falls in the match were so extreme and they set the bar for further bumps so high that the inevitable attempts to equal or surpass them would be unsafe for the wrestlers involved. Aditionally, in his autobiography, Terry Funk states that both falls, including the second one through the cage, were planned. Some sources, including Power Slam magazine and Pro Wrestling Torch, have claimed Foley denied planning this bump to placate his wife, who was furious with him after the match.
