Rank a Wrestler #14 - Mick Foley

**JEPW** · 07-21-2010, 08:01 AM

Gave him a 6 but kind of regret being so harsh. He achieved an awful lot considering he was an out of shape guy who couldn't really wrestle. Tremendous on the mic, able to take horrific bumps, horrific chair shots, always willing to jump into a pile of barbed wire or thumb tacks.

But at the same time... the fact he's been so fat for so long really counts against a supposed athlete in my eyes. I never felt Mankind was a top, top guy... Dude Love defo not... Cactus yes but unfortunately we never really saw that character pushed to the hilt in WWE.

His matches were boring after 2001 unless he took a LOT of brutally painful spots. Thus the conundrum of Foley's career: awesome for his spots, but completely dependent on them and therefore very one-dimensional.

His work in TNA has been horrible.
