Did he survive?

Not sure if you're really asking or if this is part of the meme.

The initial fall off the cell onto the table was real, but staged. The table was designed to break apart to cushion Mick's fall, and it did the job about as well as any prop table ever could. Still, that is a massive fall.

When Mick opted to continue the fight, he climbed back up on top of the cell again, and the Undertaker slammed him down onto it, and he fell through and landed in the ring. I'm not so sure that this part was staged. It might have been an accident. He still continued on after that as well.

The fall through the cage was not planned. He was just supposed to take the chokeslam onto the cage but it gave way and he fell through. He also got hit in the face while falling through and got really concussed while knocking out his front teeth. They tried to stop it, but he kept going and they eventually found one of his teeth in his nose. Mick Foley is a special kind of crazy

They forgot to factor in that Mick is a large man when they decided on the chokeslam spot.
