What will be his legacy: Mick Foley

[Bad Company]

Foley will be remembered as a guy who gave his all to the fans, put his body on the line more than anyone else in the mainstream, and brought hardcore wrestling to the masses once again.
He won't be remember as an in ring technician, but he is severely underrated in that respect, he could have a good match with a bag of bricks. He was very good at disguising his own weaknesses, while showing up his opponents strengths.
He was very lucky to be wrestling at the same time as some of the finest we will ever see, and his matches show that. But he was a story teller, in and out of the ring, and was very rarely carried by any one.
While he will never be regarded as a Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, or Ric Flair, he is a legend of the ring, and his place in history is assured.

This sums him up perfectly. But as Whiteyford said, he'll always be remembered for the Hell in a Cell match, which isn't a terrible thing, Christ, anyone who saw those bumps witnessed something they'll never forget, but he definitely gave more to wrestling than just falling off the cage.
