Line 48:
* [[Finger Poke of Doom]]: This happened on the night he won his first WWF Heavyweight championship. [[Mick Foley]] did indeed put a lot of butts in seats.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Researches very heavily for his books.
** Foley also ''wrote'' all of his books and, unlike many athletes, does not use a ghostwriter (he actually was given one on his first book, but was unsatisfied with his work). He proudly notes in the introduction to ''Have A Nice Day!'' that he wrote the over 700-page manuscript for it in longhand (mostly because his typewriter broke). Also, his publisher was surprised by how ''[[Door StopperDoorstopper|long]]'' it was - they were expecting under 150 pages.
** He opens his first book by recalling spending a double-digit-hour plane ride home working on his manuscript longhand. He was so bleary-eyed and punchy from working hard on it that, upon arrival, his wife asked him repeatedly if he had been doing drugs.
* [[Happily Married]]: To his wife Collette for about twenty years now. A real-life [[Ugly Guy Hot Wife]] that has succeeded much to his own admitted astonishment, and it's not even a because-he's-famous example (they met while he was still working the independent circuit).
