As described by Sportskeeda, The Rock and Mankind had history. In January 1999, The Rock had defeated Mankind to retain the WWF Championship, ending a feud the two personas had cooked up over the previous year. Teaming up for top-billed bouts against The Undertaker and Big Show throughout 1999, the Rock 'n Sock Connection soon become one of the sport's most beloved duos. But it was not their wins in the ring that set them apart.
Instead, what is most remembered of The Rock's famous collaboration with Mick Foley in the immediate and palpable chemistry between the two wrestlers, whose promos and non-wrestling antics drew audiences large enough to rival the matches themselves. The interplay between the two characters culminated in September 1999, when Mankind's hosting of a "This Is Your Life" segment for his tag team buddy (pictured above) became one of wrestling's most-watched — and remembered — non-wrestling spectacles, per Last Word On Sports.
A&E's "Biography" continues its "WWE Legends" series with an episode focused on Mick Foley on Sunday, May 30.
