'''Michael Francis "Mick" Foley''', Sr. (born June 7, 1965) is an American actor, author, comedian, voice actor, and professional wrestler. He has worked with every major wrestling promotion in his career, including [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]], [[WCW]], [[ECW]], [[Ring of Honor]], [[TNA]] and even a one-off match on an [[AWA]] Pay-Per-View, and is currently signed to
Throughout his wrestling career, Foley wrestled for many different promotions both under his real name and under various personas (which are known collectively as the "Three Faces of Foley" - [[The Berserker|Cactus Jack]], [[Psychopathic Manchild|Mankind]], and [[New Age Retro Hippie|Dude Love]]) and, frequently since about 2001, as just plain Mick Foley. He was the first ever WWF Hardcore Champion, and he also became a three-time WWF Champion (as Mankind), an eight-time WWF Tag Team Champion, a two-time ECW World Tag Team Champion, a one-time WCW World Tag Team Champion, a one-time TNA Legends Champion and a one-time TNA World Champion. Following his retirement from a full-time wrestling schedule, Foley appeared occasionally with WWE as a special guest referee and, later, a color commentator for the ''SmackDown'' brand. Upon his departure from the company in 2008, he signed with TNA, returning to a semi-regular schedule. He then left TNA in June 2011, and has since appeared back on WWE television, albeit less frequently.
Line 18:
** And if not human, the fans seem to have a pretty good idea what he might be. A commong sign for Mick simply states "[[Memetic Mutation|Foley is God.]]"
* [[Arch Enemy]]: [[The Undertaker]] and [[Triple H]].
* [[As Himself]]: Did the voice of a [[Claymation]] likeness of Mankind on ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch]]''.
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Jimmy Snuka's epic leap off of a steel cage inspired Foley to eventually enter the industry.
* [[Axe Crazy]]: As Cactus Jack and Mankind; Dude Love was far more lucid.
* {{spoiler| [[Badass Santa]]: He's has took on this role while Christmas.}} [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2rP-qJQLuQ Check out this clip].
* [[Bait and Switch Comment]]: ''Have a Nice Day!'' relates the following from when he was in [[ECW]] and headed to the [[
{{quote|I have a feeling that a year from now, I'm going to have to look in the mirror and admit in my heart that I sold out...I sold out the Garden, I sold out the Coliseum, I sold out every damn arena in this country!}}
* [[The Berserker]]: Cactus Jack.
Line 97 ⟶ 99:
** It's easy to see why Rock would think he apologized; in ''Beyond the Mat'', there's footage of Rocky and Mick having a good-natured talk backstage after the match for several minutes.
** In his second book, Foley admits both did wrong in the scenario but he was more in the wrong. Once The Rock was made aware of the situation, he apologized immediately. Foley was aware of the slight for several months but let it simmer unknown and lead him into bitterness (mostly as fuel for a [[Face Heel Turn]] during the Rock 'n' Sock Connection days against the Rock that never materialized.)
* [[Unperson]]: Averted since his jump to [[TNA]], though he isn't the only one, [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] has mentioned many of its stars recently, though Mick was the only one mentioned in a positive light, [[Michael Cole]] even shilled for his latest book.
** [[Joey Styles]] even interviewed Mick on WWE.com recently. The shilling of the book might be because some of the book is reportedly about Foley's time as a commentator on ''[[Smack Down]]!'' and Vince very much likes Mick's writing style.
*** Which is funny because Mick left his post as SD commentator because he very much ''didn't'' like [[Vince McMahon]]'s [[Stop Helping Me!|hands-on approach to directing the commentators through the headset.]]
