So if Foley wasn't supposed to fall through the top of the cell

Well then you missed some points. Terry Funk, Mick Foley and Undertaker all said the same thing years apart from each other. It contradicts your theory, of course.

What destroys it is the fact that there exists a much better theory to explain the situation.

The facts fit that theory.

There are no facts that support the conspiracy theory that you and CSL have latched onto. That even assertions by the people involved are to be taken as proof supporting their "guilt" is fairly ridiculous even within the dumb context that CSL is suggesting of them "protecting the business" because they all came up in the 80s (except Funk who has been around since the 30s).

The idea that you can't believe a wrestler writing his memoirs or talking in a legitimate interview based on some old-school stereotype is silly, especially when so much that Mick Foley has already written and said himself contradicts that premise.

There's simply no real reason, aside from the desire to feel and appear like an insider in professional wrestling to disbelieve Foley's, Undertaker's and Funk's assertion that the second bump was unplanned.

It certainly was the most reckless bump in Foley's and Undertaker's combined careers. No intelligent person would have seen the risk there as worth the reward. Take out the second bump, take out Foley climbing the cage a second time and the EMTs and referees in the ring and the match would actually have considerably better pacing while still telling the same story.

It would have been amazing if there had been more back and forth and maybe even an extra kick-out or two by Mankind before it was finished. We didn't need the second bump. The second bump could have ended the match and Foley's life. If the cage panel had fallen differently Foley would have landed on top of his skull. Would Undertaker really do that to a good friend? Risk his career so that Foley could live on as the Hardcore Legend?
