Number 4 is my favorite

His WWF Cactus theme from the attitude era

Even tho Steppenwolf does rock...

I love his Cactus Jack theme from the WWF, but Wreck is the song I associate with Mick Foley and it really works.

Wreck, because the footage in that vid clearly shows that back when he fought Orton in '06 or '07 I believe (maybe '05, I'll have to YouTube or wiki it...), he could still put on one hell of a hardcore match for the fans. Hell even his Hardcore Match with Edge at WM 22 kicked ass.

I wish the schizophrenic remix was on this, that one was the best

I debated it and came to the conclusion that it wasn't used enough to include it.

I wanted to, though. It's my favorite Foley theme.

Has to be Wreck for me. Part of my favourite period in wrestling history.

Yeah, that's true, they did only use it for like a month at most. Since you didn't put it I went with his first WWE theme, the early Mankind was my favorite Mick Foley persona, so it was a given.

Schizophrenic for me. Amazing song. Plus having a different song when he left was genius.

Voted Schizophrenic, and though it is not the best, kudos to TNA. They really did a good job with his theme, as well (and the video is excellent with the smiley face getting happier as it gets bloodier).

Wreck. That theme just oozes face Mankind/Foley. I wonder if it's one of those themes James or Jim Johnson made specifically for Foley or if was just a theme he made and was given to Foley. I know Austin's theme was made specifically for him so there's a good chance Foley's Wreck theme was made for him.

Cactus (WWF/E) and Dude Love's theme are both pretty sweet.

Wreck was good, but Schizophrenic was absolutely perfect for the original Mankind character.

Wreck was the best. That time there, Mankind was my favourite wrestler and that theme just made me think of him every time. I don't even care if it was just like one riff over and over. Heard it and "marked out".

yeah its hard when you hear wreck and not to think about foley....thats my vote

The Cactus Jack and Wreck themes are two of my favorite lyric-less themes ever. I went with Wreck, because - like others said - it's just more associated with Foley to me.

He had a lot of good ones, but I voted "wreck."

Wreck, it's simple basic and raw. But at the same time lovable and catchy, much like Mickles

The TNA one is growing on me though

Cactus Jack WWF

Cactus Jack WWF for me. It was tough because Wrecked is the song I most associate with him and with probably my favorite period in wrestling.

That Cactus song has always been a favorite, though.

WWF Cactus Jack theme. The opening riff is awesome

Triple Naitch

Dude Love is by far the catchiest. Bit Mankind's exit theme is spectacular.

DaVe

Yep, Mankind's exit theme should've been on the list. It was tremendous idea and just fit the character so well.

I loved Wreck, so...Wreck

If we were voting for worst I'd go with Bang Bang
