Rank a Wrestler #14 - Mick Foley

[Jimmy Cones]

Mick Foley

When I had speech class my sophomore year, I did my final speech on Mick Foley because at the time he was my favorite wrestler. I now have a much more mature outlook on what professional wrestling is all about, which has changed my opinion of him somewhat. He has done some insane and dangerous things that should have left him much worse off right now then he is. (unless you think working for TNA is as low as you can go.... BAZINGA!) But I think when most people look at him all they think about is this overweight guy who fell off a cage once. When I think about Foley, I think about how much he's helped the business. He created a character that was way over with the fans, then helped create many other superstars. The Rock beating Mankind in an "I quit" match. Triple H beating him in the cell. He even put over Edge and Orton in hardcore matches. Mick has played a big role in elevating many superstars to the top, and for that I think he deserves around an 8-9. I think I'll go with 8 though, it just feels right.
