      I was there that day and took a picture with Mick Foley which I was told I was going to receive it by email, but I never did. I would like to get send that picture please as well the picture that I took with the Undertaker, which I received the printed version but I would like to get the digital if possible. It has been over a year since that day and I still remember and will never forget that incredible experience lived in Manchester.

He sat in the row behind me, and then asked me and my brother(who is handicapped) and the rest of our family once the ride was over. He could probably tell we were fans, and were very well aware of the fact that we were fans, even though we didnt say anything to him. Nicest guy ive ever met, he came up to us and asked if we wanted a pictured and then apologized for being sweaty. Seriously the coolest experience of my life. So genuine. Easily one of the coolest people ive met at Disney.

      @Isaac Howard Jr huh? I don't think you understand. He's talking about his character and his personality. And/or about how Keanu is like a top actor, foley is a top wrestler. You never heard people say "____ is the ____ of ____" ?? Like, "Tom Brady is The Michael Jackson of Football" Michael Jackson is the king of pop, the biggest musician of all time, the GOAT (greatest of all time), like how people view Tom Brady as the GOAT of football. Now this is like you saying "Michael Jackson?!?! How about someone who can throw a football!!!! Like Joe Montana!" It's just an analogy. People use these analogies all the time.

      Wrong way round; his tooth goes through his nose after he takes the second fall through the cell, a chair he'd taken up there earlier falls through with him and hits him in the face when he lands. When he goes *off* the cell he crashes through the announcer's table and then lies on the floor until he's stretchered out, when he goes *through* the cell he manages to prop himself up against a turnbuckle and he's checking where his tooth's gone with his tongue, which JR thinks is him smiling.

Now-a-days we would be lucky if any wrestler would jump off the robes, muchless jump off a cage/cell match of any kind like that. Mankind and Undertaker took their matches and performance to a whole other level like no other. To this day, when someone asks what is the most intense wrestling match ever... I pick Mankind vs Undertaker as my number one always. It left such an impression on me as a teenager. Thank you Mick Foley and Mark Calaway.

    Mick Foley is easily the most underrated wrestler that has ever lived. When you think of the great "elements" of a pro Wrestler he's basically an A+ for all of them. Ability to carry and live not one but THREE legitimate characters (that right now in the awful state of wrestling would all be top-5 gimmicks), was great behind the microphone and his in-ring ability is extremely underrated. I think it's because of the Mankind/Cactus angles which pertained to less mat focused matches, that we just didn't see his true ability and genius as much as we could have. I really think he sit's up there with Brett/Curt Hennig in terms of technical ability - that's how good he was. Put it this way I never remembered him botching moves and when I watch his matches now, 20 years on, I smile at how good they are in terms of technique and construction. Really, really appreciate how good he was, what a legend

      Why shouldn't they think about money?
      They are the only athletes who don't get guaranteed contracts.
      Why should Vince make billions while they make scraps for putting in actual work.
      The wwe stars need to unionize
      Sad result was Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit

    Mick is a legend.
    A man who grew up on wrestling, wanted to be a part of it, and gave everything to make it even better than what it was when he joined even when he himself acknowledged he wasn't good enough.
    And he fucking *succeeded.*

    This is one of the wrestlers I want to meet someday. My mom was supposed to meet him at a bar of some sort back in March/April, but all this virus stuff started. We thought my mom had the virus, and Mick Foley sent her a video. She recovered not even a week later.

    Foley was very athletic in his younger years. Dusty Rhodes type. May not look like an “athlete” but could go. His style took so much out of him so early. When he went thru the cell, he was only 23 days removed from his 33rd birthday.

    he's still the toughest wrestler I ever seen without doubt in all of wwf history, I'm not mentioning the wwe history lol. I mean this guy had part of his ear torn off during a match and still wrestled. And this match well I think we all remember how much shit he went through and he still finished the match. Your one of a kind Mick Foley thanks for the amazing wrestling memories
