Sure Foley did stuff like that when he was younger but the differance is he eventually learned how to wrestle properly. If you take a look at Foley's 2nd career match (on the new foley dvd) He couldn't put on a decent performce if his life depended on it. And I actually start laughing while I watched it cause I started thinking this guy eventually becomes the WWF Champion. But you can also see the difference between that match and his later matches that he did indeed learn to preform properly, and I'd say between 75 and 99 % that most of the people doing BYW will never make it...even as a top indy wrestler because they are not willing to learn the trait and wrestle safe.
I remember seeing an add on PPV for BYW and there was one match where the winner was the one who grabbed a GUN and shot the opponent...I mean WTF is that...thats not wrestling or entertainment...it stupid kids and its shit.
