'''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 [[WWE]]. He is often referred to as "The Hardcore Legend", a nickname he shares with Terry Funk.
 
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.

* [[Bait and Switch Comment]]: ''Have a Nice Day!'' relates the following from when he was in [[ECW]] and headed to the [[WWEWorld Wrestling Entertainment|WWF]]. The crowd chanted at him "You [[Sell Out|sold out]]! You sold out!" Foley responded by getting on the mic.
{{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!}}
