Look at the fame, fortune, and legacy Foley made in his 5 years being full-time active in the WWF compared to Bruno in 20 years. He sold out MSG when they used to run it every month. I'd hope so considering he was the top draw for the NEW YORK TERRITORY. Let Foley/Rock,Foley/Austin, Foley/HHH, Foley/Taker, Foley/Michaels, etc. from 1996-2000 run MSG every month and see how many straight sellouts Mick could claim.

Mick Foley has books, matches, iconic moments in wrestling history. Bruno has the longest reign and a bunch of MSG sellouts. There are no defining moments for Bruno other than he was pushed to the fucking moon for a decade. During Bruno's two reigns, you had the Funks, Jack Brisco, and Harley Race all making the NWA World Title the far more prestigious championship. Bruno did bearhugs in mostly squash matches as fellow Italians went bonkers.
