Line 38:
* [[Companion Cube]]: Mr. Socko.
* [[Cool Mask]]: As Mankind.
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Is the main subject of the WWF side of the business in the 1999 documentary ''Beyond The Mat'', chronicling his life in the company from 1997-early 1999, including unseen footage of him in the aftermath of his famous matches with [[The Undertaker]] (guess which one) and [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] (the I Quit Match at the 1999 Royal Rumble, which caused his wife and kids to cry at ringside and leave due to the viciousness of the match)
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: During his time as WWE Commissioner, a couple of segments featuring Foley interacting with the Divas (particularly [[Trish Stratus]]) depicted him like this, particularly in provoking catfights between the girls and then watching with a huge grin on his face.
** Noted multiple times in ''Have A Nice Day'' how Christina Ricci (or as he refers to her, [[The Addams Family (TV)|Wednesday Addams]]) had [[She Is All Grown Up|filled out in the chest region.]] Keep in mind Ricci was around 18 when Foley was writing the book.
* [[Determinator]]: Oh yeah.
** For example, in the infamous [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Hell in a Cell match]] at ''King of the Ring '98'', Foley was thrown off of a twenty-foot-tall steel chain link cell and through an announcer table. The fall was so devastating that he sustained a concussion, spinal damage, a dislocated shoulder and internal bleeding. The EMTs squeezed in to put him on a stretcher and wheel him away, but, you see, ''this is the part of the match that was '''planned''''' (well the fall part, not the injuries part). Mick got up off the stretcher and climbed his way back up the cell (''faster than before his fall!'') to resume the match. After some more fighting, Undertaker performed his signature choke-slam... which accidentally sent Foley ''through'' the chain link cell to the plywood ring below, a steel chair following close behind to smash his teeth out of his mouth. (You can see a little white speck in his nose on close-ups; ''that's his tooth''.) Foley was completely knocked out, nearly died, and has no memory of the next few hours...''but he got back up and resumed the match,'' finally ending it after taking two hard falls onto ''frigging thumbtacks''. And ''then,'' simply because he refused to be stretchered out ''twice,'' he got up and walked back up the ramp to a standing ovation.
Line 77:
* [[Papa Wolf]]: He's very protective of his children - highlighted by his infamous "Cane Dewey" promo. <ref>Dewey is his oldest son.</ref>
* [[Pressure Point]]: His finisher in the Mankind and Mick Foley personas, the Mandible Claw, is said to trigger a pressure point under the tongue, causing paralysis and intense pain. The fact that he wraps his hand in a dirty sock before he does it is just the icing on the cake.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: How did Mick psych himself up for all that insane stuff he pulled? Listening to [[Tori Amos (Music)|Tori Amos]]. I couldn't make that up even if I tried.
** In one of his later books, Mick mentions being psyched at a chance to meet Tori Amos in real life... only to be horrified when he went through all of his older books and realized he mentioned listening to her music in conjuction with acts of ghoulish violence. Thankfully, her nephew was a wrestling fan and had read said books, so she knew what to expect from him when they met.
* [[Running Gag]]: As Commish, he'd often found the most absurd places to set up his office in the arena.
