Re: Mick Foley
I, for one, am HUGE on Mick Foley. I didn't necessarily grow up on Cactus Jack...but Mankind. I fell in love with the character back when I was 6 years old (1996) and he grew on me ever since. As he changed from the "Deranged One" to Dude Love and to Cactus Jack ... and switching between the three, he continued to grow on me and I loved every minute of it. Sure his in-ring ability isn't Bret Hart like but he did what he was best at...putting on a show that made the fans happy. He would go out, every match and run knee first into the steps and flip over them...and still does...Why? Because he does it for the fans.
The way he developed his characters was just incredible, not many could, can or ever will do it like him. I remember seeing his debut promo as Mankind with his pet rat, George, a huge rat none-the-less. Yeah, he scared me but he set the stage for what this character Mankind would be like. And over the years, he began to grow on me, like I stated above...and I couldn't seem to get enough of him.
Man, thanks for creating this thread...I love watching him in the ring and listening to him on the mic...such passion he brings with him.
