The Igloo in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania had been prepared for a Hell in A Cell match between The Dead Man UNDERTAKER and The Mankind MICK FOLEY. Before this match, hell in a cell was just a common match where two wrestlers were locked inside a cage and were literally given everything, starting from chairs, kendo sticks, takes etc. to beat up each other. But this match changed the meaning of hell in a cell forever, it was redefined to be a cage inside of which the locked ones would face the true hell!

UNDERTAKER vs MICK FOLEY: A Match That Truly Defind Hell In A Cell

It was the most barbaric, death-defying, violent match in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment. In one night, Mick Foley put his body on the line and sacrificed himself for the sake of entertainment, thus creating a legacy for himself as the one of the toughest, most respected WWE Superstars of all time. The setup to this match was even greater. The Undertaker was having a bitter sibling feud with his brother, King of the Ring Kane. The Dead Man beat The Big Red Monster in an intensely physical match at WrestleMania, and a month later again in the very first Inferno match.

Jane was put into rivalry with Steve Austin, ego had been winning most of his matches till then, and Mick Foley returned as The Mankind, one of his three personas, and rekindled his rivalry with The Undertaker, thus seeing up a date at The Hell In A Cell. No matter how famous and respected both the stars were before the match, it became the highlight of each man’s career.

THE MATCH

UNDERTAKER vs MICK FOLEY: A Match That Truly Defind Hell In A Cell

Foley came out first, and God knows what was going through his mind, he wanted the match to happen on the steel cage. And there he was, at the top. As The Undertaker came out, he was challenged by Foley to fight the match on the top. As the match started, Foley had the control as he mounted some punches to his opponent. The first few minutes saw Foley gaining on the Dead Man, but the worst, most remembered moment of the match came when Foley recurrence his first bump, which was being thrown down from the top of the cell about 22 feet down onto the Spanish announcers’ table. This triggered announcer Jim Ross to shout the famous dialogue of the era, “Good God almighty! Good God almighty! That killed him!” and “As God as my witness, he is broken in half!”.

Mick remained motionless under the debris, not moving even an inch, while The Undertaker was on the top of the cell starting down. The broken man lying down was attended soon by his longtime friend Terry Funk, followed by WWF’s resident doctor, Dr. Francois Pettit, and various others, including Vince McMahon, who looked much worried though on paper he disliked Foley. Immediately Foley was wheeled out of the arena in a stretcher and the match was stopped.

Minutes later, there was commotion on the entrance ramp as Foley matched up onto the top of the cell and the match once again resumed. Foley was fighting with a dislocated arm caused due to the fall, as The Undertaker had a broken foot

Foley gig his second bump of the night when he was choke slammed through the cage onto the ring. No one had thought that the cage would give way under Foley and The Undertaker. For a few moments, he was knocked unconscious, but was able to come around soon. According to the announcers, the prop guy had intentionally made the cage look, but not so that it would just give away. Undertaker after the match said that he had thought that Foley was dead, but he regained well. As he got up, Foley was still smiling through his bleeding lips and teeth, with his one tooth over his nose hanging. It was later found that the tooth broke when he landed face first on the chair he was holding. Foley in his autobiography ‘Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweat socks’ stated that he would have been dead, but was safe as he didn’t properly receive the chokeslam. He said it was the best and the worst choke slam he had received. Foley later explained that the roof of the cell was supposed to sag sufficiently so that Undertaker could kick him through, allowing him to dangle by his feet and eventually fall in a rotation to land on his front. But that didn’t happen.

The match continued for a while longer, ending with Foley being choke slammed by the Undertaker onto a pile of thumbtacks, which Foley himself had strewn onto the ring canvas, and The Undertaker executing the Tombstone Piledriver to end the match and the feud as planned.

Both wrestlers received a standing ovation for the match. In 2011, this incident was named as the number one “OMG!” incident in the WWE history. Both participants have said that the original Hell in a Cell match, between The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels at Bad Blood: In Your House on October 5, 1997, was superior; The Undertaker named the Bad Blood contest as his favorite match, while Foley called it the greatest Hell in a Cell bout ever.

9 Luxurious Ways To Pamper Yourself Without Leaving Your Home

Published

on

We’ve finally realized that self-care is essential in order to feel good and be healthy. However, we also often associate self-care and pampering with expensive spa appointments and see it as something we cannot afford. Well, the truth is quite different. Regardless of how small your budget is, there are so many ways how you can pamper yourself and the following ones don’t even require you to leave your home.

Create a good atmosphere

The first step toward feeling pampered in your own home is creating an atmosphere that will help you relax and get in touch with yourself. It doesn’t matter what your day or evening will look like, there are several aspects to consider here if you want to feel comfy and cozy.

Play some soothing music in the background – instrumentals are what most people opt for, but you can basically play whatever helps get you in the mood. Then, light some natural, scented candles to create that spa sensation. You could also turn to incense seeing as how that can evoke a sense of serenity as well.

Have a long bubble bath

Even if you are not able to turn your whole house into a spa-like environment, take some time to have a nice warm bath. In case you don’t live alone, tell your family members or roommates that the bathroom is off-limits for the next hour or so and create a nice atmosphere that will make this bath super relaxing.

Just like the tip above, you can play some calming music and light some candles. Add some bath salts or essential oils to your bubble bath as well. Moreover, take a glass of wine with you or a good book if you need some entertainment.

Make some DIY scrubs

We don’t have to go to an expensive salon or buy pricy products in order to get a good scrub. There are so many ways to make your own scrubs from the ingredients you already have at home. For example, by mixing brown sugar, baking soda and olive oil, you can easily create a DIY foot scrub that will smooth out the rough spots. What is more, a body scrub can be made from coarse sea salt, Himalayan sea salt, coconut oil and some rose petals.

Do your own hair

We all need an occasional haircut but before you decide that your ends are too ragged to be saved, consider treating yourself to hair treatment. You can easily find various leave-in hair masks that are quite affordable and will help your hair regain its old shine. Furthermore, when it comes to styling your hair, there is no need to visit your hairdresser every couple of days just so you can get a blowout. Luckily, nowadays there are many video tutorials on how you can do it with a little bit of effort and the right products.

Give yourself a manicure and pedicure

Just like you can skip the hair appointments at the salon, you can do the same for your nails. Giving yourself mani-pedis can be a very relaxing activity and you will also get to save some money. After a nice bath, you will feel warm and calm and you can set some time aside to paint your nails. Remember to think ahead and purchase a bottle of cute and quality nail polish beforehand. Fortunately, plenty of instructions can be found online so you’ll start doing your friends’ nails as well before you know it.

Get a massage

When we think of spa-like experiences and pampering, the first thing that comes to mind is probably massages. Well, the great news is that it is very easy to get a massage in the comfort of your own home. There are so many professionals that offer home visits and bring everything that they need for the session with them. Therefore, all you have to do is book an appointment and enjoy the massage.

On the other hand, by equipping your home with a quality massage chair, you will have an easy way to relieve stress and relax at your disposal. This way, you can still get all the benefits of a massage even when you can’t go to a spa or have a masseuse over.

Do what makes you happy

Pampering can often sound like you have to do various fancy beauty routines but its point is doing something that makes you happy and at peace. Make some tea and read a book you’ve been intending to start for a while. Make some popcorn, get a warm blanket and watch your favorite movie or binge a recently released TV show. If you have a pet, play with them. In case gardening makes you feel better, tend to your plants.

Order in some delicious food

In addition to all the previously listed activities, you can also turn to cooking or baking. However, if that’s not your cup of tea, you can always order. These days, you can find everything online so getting your favorite meal delivered is a piece of cake.

Invite friends over

Who says that you have to be alone for your pampering session? Isn’t everything better when you do it with your loved ones? So, invite some friends over and enjoy your time together. Order all the food you can eat, snuggle up and watch your favorite show. Spending time with the people you don’t get to see that often and being able to catch up can sometimes be all the relaxing you need. It’s basically a sleepover so what’s not to like?

Conclusion

Oftentimes, carving out some alone time for yourself seems like a huge challenge. However, explain to your family and roommates that you need a little bit of pampering to recharge your batteries and they are sure to give you privacy. These nine ways are guaranteed to make you feel special so don’t hesitate to try them out.

5 Ways Students Can Reduce Stress While in College

Published

on

Stress is one of the main causes of poor academic performance, poor personal and professional relationships, and overall bad health amongst college students. Ignoring stress can lead to more severe problems such as high blood pressure, ulcers, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, headaches, depression, mood swings, forgetfulness, and difficulty concentrating, all of which are detrimental to your academic performance. Sadly, nothing can eliminate all stress completely, but it can certainly be reduced and maintained. There are several ways you can stay healthy and strong while in a stressful situation.

Here are five ways college students and young professionals are using to tackle stress on a daily basis.

1. Exercise

Most colleges give students access to sport complexes, fitness centers while some going to the extent of offering group classes in cycling, yoga, and other forms of exercise. All students should dedicate at least a few hours a week to exercising. Regular exercise will serve one throughout his or her life, regardless whether one is in college or not. Most fitness centers and gyms have flexible hours to accommodate varying work and student schedules.

2. Develop planning and time management skills

Procrastinating until the last minute can lead you to miss assignments deadlines which will cause stress. Having a habit of creating a daily and weekly schedule that includes time for assignments, exercise and social time will solve this problem by assuring that you are never hustling to complete multiple assignments at the same time at the last minute. If possible, do your assignments in advance. When heavily bombarded with multiple assignments, it is better to find assignment doers online to help with some work rather than submit incomplete or poorly done assignments that will affect your grade and cause you more stress.

Make use of classmates who can hold you accountable for your schedule. If you have a roommate, post the schedule on your study desk so that he/she knows when to engage and when to respect your space.

3. Find quiet time to meditate

Taking a break from studies to watch a movie, play video games or engage in social media is a good way to unwind but sometimes these actions crowd your mind and inject stress from others, who don’t have your schedule in mind, into your life. Make a point of including time on your daily schedule for quiet time from these entertainment and social distractions. Meditation will allow you to digest all that you’ve consumed and it will clear your mind for what’s coming next.

4. Maintain a journal

There is power in writing down one’s thoughts, concerns, hopes, aspirations, fears, and deepest thoughts. Some feelings are better kept secret, however, simply keeping them bottled up inside can cause frustration. A journal is more than just writing down a daily account of one’s life, a journal gives one an opportunity to be truly honest with oneself and when read later, offers an opportunity to reflect on how much you’ve grown and increased your resilience to stress over time.

5. Take a break from Social Media

Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram provide us with entertainment, information, and immediate access to friends. However, they can also monopolize our time at a juncture when we don’t have enough time. Try unplugging from social media for a few hours a day every day and see how it affects your level of stress and academic performance.

There is nothing you can do to guarantee you will not experience stress. Your ability to regulate what stress you allow into your life and the habits that you develop and keep in order to manage that stress will make all the difference.
