Michael Francis Foley, Sr. (born June 7, 1965 in Bloomington , Indiana , USA ), better known as Mick Foley , is an American wrestler and author .

Foley has worked for the three largest North American wrestling organizations, World Wrestling Entertainment , World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling .

His greatest wrestling success was receiving the WWF World Heavyweight Champion three times .

Private life

Michael Foley's family moved shortly after his birth to East Setauket near Long Iceland ( New York ). There Foley attended Ward Melville High School, later he studied at Cortland University, where he was in the wrestling team with actor Kevin James and graduated. Foley got his nickname Mick from his father, who was a huge fan of baseball player Mick Mantle of the New York Yankees.

Michael Foley is married to Collette Foley and has four children. In addition to three autobiographies , Mick Foley wrote a children's book and a novel .

Wrestling career

Beginnings

Foley's interest in wrestling developed during his school days while he was gaining experience as an amateur wrestler (including with actor Kevin James ). Michael Foley decided to become a professional wrestler. For this he started with his friends with the so-called " backyard wrestling ". Here, their idols from television were emulated. Michael Foley invented the fictional character "Dude Love", who would play a role in his later career.

Foley's friends recorded a video showing him jumping off the roof of a house at another boy. The landing was only fake by changing the camera perspective. This video was shown during a wrestling show at Foley's school and was seen by wrestling coach Dominic Denucci. Denucci therefore began to train Foley during his school days. His "hardcore wrestling", which was characteristic of him, was later taught to Michael Foley by the Texan Terry Funk .

Foley made his debut on June 24, 1983 under the name Cactus Jack Manson in West Virginia , where he was allowed to defeat his opponent Kurt Kauffmann in his first match. Otherwise, Michael Foley initially worked as a jobber in some of the smaller regional leagues .

World Wrestling Federation (1986–1987)

But Foley was also booked for short appearances in the then WWF : In 1986 he broke his jaw there under the name Jack Foley during a tag team match against the "British Bulldogs".

Continental Wrestling Association (1988)

In October 1988 Michael Foley moved to the Tennessee-based wrestling league CWA Memphis , where he initially competed in a tag team with Gary Young . After a short time they received the CWA Tag Team titles together, but had to give them up again four weeks later. After that, Foley first worked in various small leagues.

World Class Championship Wrestling / United States Wrestling Association (1988–1990)

Michael Foley left the CWA Memphis and entered the World Class Championship Wrestling . As early as December 30, 1988 he was able to win the WCCW Light Heavyweight Championship as Cactus Jack there, when he was allowed to defeat the then title holder Eric Embry. When the WCCW merged with other regional associations to form the USWA , Foley was also allowed to secure the tag team title there .

World Championship Wrestling (1990)

When Foley left the USWA, he went to the NWA World Championship Wrestling . There he was briefly used in Georgia Championship Wrestling as a so-called undercarder . There he sustained a serious head injury during a match and Foley left the NWA / WCW for the UWF.

Universal Wrestling Federation (1990-1991)

When Foley had recovered from his head injury, he went to the Herb Abrams reactivated wrestling promotion Universal Wrestling Federation . There he formed a tag team with cowboy Bob Orton .

In this league, Foley had feuds with "Mr. Wonderful “Paul Orndorff . This served to make the small league better known and more interesting to the public. But very quickly he left this promotion to sign with NWA Tri-State Wrestling.

NWA Tri-State Wrestling Alliance (1990-1991)

In 1991 Michael Foley joined the National Wrestling Alliance's wrestling promotion Tri-State Wrestling Alliance and was immediately involved in a very brutal feud with Eddie Gilbert, which culminated in three tough matches. It was during this time that Mick Foley began using the Double Arm DDT as his finisher .

In this wrestling promotion the audience was presented with a wrestling style that was very tough at the time. The three matches against Gilbert ensured that the WCW now became aware of Foley.

Return to the WCW (1991–1994)

After completing this very successful feud program, Foley went to Dallas , Texas , in 1991 , where he signed briefly for a few matches with the League Global Wrestling Federation (GWF). This league was led by Eddie Gilbert, among others. But in the fall of 1991, Foley got his first major contract when he was poached by World Championship Wrestling .

Foley made his debut in World Championship Wrestling on September 5, 1991 when he unexpectedly showed up at the Clash of the Champions XVI event and launched an attack on Sting there . Foley also got a chance for the World Heavyweight title at the Beach Blast 1992 event , which Sting owned at the time. He was not allowed to win this match, but earned the necessary respect for some of his impressive ring actions. He was not allowed to win yet another title match against Sting's successor, the Afro-American Ron Simmons .

Foley had a bloody feud program against Paul Orndorff in the WCW, which he was now able to decide for himself and again got a title match for the WCW title. This time, however, Vader was his opponent.
The first match between the two took place on April 6, 1993. Foley won this by counting, but suffered numerous injuries in the form of a broken nasal bone and heavily bleeding facial wounds. It finally had to be sewn with 27 stitches.
Vader and Foley had previously agreed to punches to give the match more violence and so enhance it. But Vader modified this on his own initiative. The rematch was also brutally designed. A played injury was part of the planning, as Foley was able to take time out for his newly born daughter Noelle. Nevertheless, Foley suffered a real cracked neck in this match that almost ended his career. Vader had removed some rubber mats in front of the ring and then thundered Foley with full force on the concrete floor of the event hall.
His return to the ring came in the fall of 1993 and resulted in several more brutal matches against Vader. Both opponents competed at WCW Halloween Havoc in a Texas Death Match that Vader won after only 16 minutes. So the decision has now been made by the WCW leadership not to let both wrestlers compete against each other for the time being. After the feud program against Vader ended, Foley now formed a tag team with Maxx Payne.

But eventually Michael Foley was tagged with Kevin Sullivan because the original partner Payne was injured. The new tag team Sullivan and Foley was finally allowed to take the WCW tag team title from the reigning champions, the Nasty Boys . After winning the title, Foley appeared as the reigning WCW tag team champion only four weeks later in the still young wrestling promotion NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling , where he was immediately involved in a feud program with Sabu , also dedicated to hardcore wrestling , and in which Sabu was allowed to remain victorious.
Foley then went back to the WCW. But since he spat on his WCW tag team belt during an ECW promo at the ECW Hostil City Showdown and said that this title would mean nothing to him, the WCW decided to let Foley lose the title again. After the title loss that followed so quickly, Foley and Sullivan were separated and left to feud against each other. The feud ended in a Loser Leaves WCW match: Foley lost this match and had to leave the WCW.

Extreme Championship Wrestling (1994–1996)

Cactus Jack

After being kicked out of the WCW, Michael Foley took part in Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling in Japan for a while . He finally signed with ECW in the late summer of 1994.

At Extreme Championship Wrestling Foley was able to perfect his already tough wrestling style from August 1994. Michael Foley started in ECW with his former mentor Terry Funk feud , but this suddenly changed over to Japan. So now Tommy Dreamer became his feud partner. But Dreamer was eventually eliminated by the tag team "Public Enemy" , which at the time was often referred to as the "most brutal tag team in modern wrestling". Michael Foley got Mickey Whipwhreck as a tag team partner, whose mentor he also became. So both were allowed to win the ECW tag team belt from Public Enemy on August 27, 1994 and both held the title for a relatively long time. They only had to give up the title in November 1994.

After losing the title, a brief feud program followed against his former tag team partner Sullivan, and when he returned to WCW, Foley went to SMW.

After his return from Japan, Michael Foley played very hard and extremely brutal matches in the ECW from 1995 onwards. For example against Sandman , Tommy Dreamer and his former mentor Terry Funk, who seriously injured him with a burning branding iron in one of these matches . This new type of ECW match management, adopted by the Japanese hardcore leagues, which now consciously took serious injuries into account, once again caused controversy in America about violence on TV , as Foley occasionally used barbed wire and tacks, as he did had got to know at FMW. He often used a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.

Foley had already started to condemn hardcore wrestling in Japan, according to his storyline. So he now called himself The new Jack and changed both his image and his ring outfit: He now wore the letters "WW F'N F" in large letters (alluding to the WWF at that time; including the barbed wire wrapping typical of ECW of the letters) on the chest and called on the ECW wrestlers, especially Tommy Dreamer , not to use the "extreme hardcore wrestling" anymore, but to take over the technically based mat wrestling of the WWF. What was thought up as part of a typical wrestling storyline now developed a life of its own: The fans really believed Foley was turning away from hardcore wrestling.
But when Foley played his farewell match against Mikey Whipwreck in the ECW, the fans cheered him again as in his early days. Foley was visibly moved during his farewell speech after the match: "I would never have expected this reaction from you ... after I threw a lot at you!"

International Wrestling Association of Japan (1995-1996)

After leaving ECW, Michael Foley was briefed at SMW . There he was involved in a short-term feud program against Chris Candido . After graduation, he left the league for Japan. In 1995 Michael Foley competed for IWA Japan for the first time . There he fought a brutal match with Terry Funk on January 8, who was committed there at the same time. Especially the barbed wire matches between Foley and Funk are still legendary today because of their bloodthirstiness.

Foley soon turned his back on the IWA and finally joined the ECW. But on August 20, 1995 he came back to the IWA and was allowed to win the King-of-the-Deathmatch tournament against Terry Funk . In the interview before the match and the subsequent victory speech, he began (as part of the newly created ECW storyline , which slowly provided for a collaboration with the then WWF) to object to and reject hardcore wrestling: "In the early days of wrestling", so Foley, “it wouldn't have taken violence, barbed wire and fire to entertain people. Wrestling as such must now find its way back to the roots ”.

Foley will continue to compete regularly in this promotion and win titles.

Return to WWF (1996-2001)

In 1996, Foley finally moved to the WWF. In the then World Wrestling Federation Michael Foley no longer appeared under the name "Cactus Jack", but was now called Mankind . Foley himself was now of the opinion that he could no longer fill the role of "Cactus Jack" after almost 11 years and began to look for an effective successor role. After the initial difficulties had been disregarded and agreed, Vince McMahon and Foley worked together on the "Mankind" character and gave him the finishing touch that Foley could finally come to terms with.

In his first appearance as "Mankind" after Wrestlemania XII on Monday Night RAW , Foley was allowed to defeat Bob Holly in 1996 . On the same evening he attacked Undertaker , which gave rise to the following feud . In late summer and fall of the same year, Foley and the Undertaker faced each other in innumerable clashes. This also included matches with various tools and special clauses. Ultimately, the Undertaker was allowed to win the last match between the two in the Survivor Series .

Michael Foley quickly became a challenger for the WWF Heavyweight Title and competed against both Shawn Michaels and Undertaker for him. However, he was not allowed to win the title yet.

During a storyline against Hunter Hearst Helmsley , Foley's old dream came true and he changed his ring character at the King of the Ring . He was finally allowed to put Dude Love on TV and the WWF. Together with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin he received the WWF Tag Team title, but had to give it up relatively quickly because of a real injury to Austin.

Other feud programs followed, including against the New Age Outlaws. For this, his old friend Terry Funk was involved under the pseudonym "Chainsaw Charlie". With this he was allowed to win the tag team title again for one day at Wrestlemania XIV.

In 1998, Foley's greatest challenge up to that point came. At the PPV King of the Ring of the Year, he competed against Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell Match.
During this match he let the Undertaker throw him from the roof of the cage onto the table of the Spanish commentators from a height of five meters, which meant an incredible increase in popularity for this type of match. Foley was supposed to be transported away on a stretcher. Foley himself didn't want this match to end like that, so he climbed back onto the roof of the cage. The Undertaker chokeslam through the center of the cage and Foley fell another four meters when he fell through the top of the cage onto the ring floor.
In Foley's book Mankind - Have a Nice Day! he wrote that the throw from the cage was planned through the commentator's desk. American wrestling magazines claimed, however, that Foley wanted the whole thing to look like an accident, as his wife had been increasingly concerned about him for a long time. During the chokeslam through the cage into the ring, Foley knocked out two molars, among other things, because when landing on the ring floor, a folding chair landed with the chair leg on his face. Furthermore, Foley lost his consciousness twice in real life during this match. Overall, this match is considered to be one of the toughest in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment.
Today we know that Mark Calaway had a serious leg injury at the time and therefore could not have played a regular match. So Calaway and Foley agreed to move this scheduled match to the top of the cage, where Calaway didn't have to move as much.

Regardless of the injuries, Foley was back in the ring in the weeks after this very tough match. Together with Kane , Foley was allowed to win the tag team title again, gave them briefly to Steve Austin and the Undertaker and then finally lost them at the Summerslam to the New Age Outlaws, as the team was separated with Kane.

While recording a RAW show in 1998, Vince McMahon presented Michael Foley with the newly created WWF Hardcore title .

In the next time Foley was allowed to win a few matches and was involved in the action for the WWF World Heavyweight Champion title. In a title match against The Rock , he was finally able to win it.

At the Royal Rumble 1999 there was a rematch, which was a so-called I quit match (Eng. I give up) . Foley had to give up the title without giving up. A storyline scam against Foley took place. The rematch was broadcast during the break of the Super Bowl on January 26, 1999 and pre-recorded at the completely empty Tucson Convention Center in Tucson , Arizona . Foley got the title back. However, he had to give the title back to The Rock in a ladder match on February 15, 1999, one day after "In Your House" at RAW .

In 1999 Michael Foley took a break, which was explained storyline-wise by a blow with a sledgehammer from HHH. At SummerSlam 1999 on August 22, 1999 he returned and was allowed to defeat Steve Austin and Triple H for the title. However, Foley had to relinquish the title to Hunter Hearst Helmsley the following evening at RAW. In the same year he was also seen in the documentary Beyond the Mat .

One of the most fun tag teams in the WWE would become The Rock 'n' Sock Connection . It consisted of The Rock and Foley's character Mankind. They were allowed to win the tag team title and hold it for a longer period of time. It was then decided to break up "The Rock 'n' Sock Connection" and as a result a storyline was constructed to split the team and make it lose the title.

Foley was teamed up as a mankind with Al Snow and together they received the tag team title. However, they did not last long and the team was disbanded. In the following, the team was briefly revived with The Rock.

In December 1999 / January 2000 Foley paused in the WWF until he returned as Cactus Jack at the Royal Rumble . A feud program against Triple H followed, which ended in a match in which the loser had to end his career. Michael Foley fell completely out of character as he stood on the ramp, looked into the audience and cried. After the many injuries sustained over the course of his wrestling career, Foley had finished wrestling and wanted to devote himself to his writing once and for all.

At Wrestlemania 2000 Foley appeared as a " surprise guest " and played a Fatal Four Way match against Triple H, Big Show and The Rock in the main match . This was the first time in his career he was in the main event of a Wrestlemania event.

After that it was quiet about Michael Foley for the time being. After some time he returned under his real name with the gimmick of commissioner, but not as an active wrestler. He filled this role until December 2000. The last Raw edition before Wrestlemania X-Seven in March 2001 made a comeback as an active. It was announced that Foley would take on the role of guest referee in the match between Vince and his son Shane McMahon. In the following years he appeared again as a commissioner, but also as a guest referee. In November 2001, Foley left the WWE and dedicated himself to writing.

Independent Leagues (2001-2005)

After that, Michael Foley only occasionally appeared as a wrestler, often in smaller leagues like the Independent Wrestling Association , to help them get promoted. Foley had a few matches at the Ring of Honor against CM Punk , Samoa Joe or Ricky Steamboat . Further appearances in Japan and Europe followed. Foley was still under contract with the WWE and published his books there.

Second return to WWE (2003-2008)

Foley first appeared again in front of the WWE cameras in June 2003, when he was guest referee in the Hell in a Cell match between Triple H and Kevin Nash at WWE Bad Blood . A feud program against Randy Orton followed in order to introduce it to the hardcore scene. Foley took part in the Royal Rumble 2004 and was allowed to defeat Orton.

At Backlash 2004, Foley and Orton met in neighboring Canada in a hardcore match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship . However, Foley was not intended to be the winner in this match.

On June 10, 2005 Michael Foley surprisingly appeared at the Shane Douglas hosted wrestling tournament Hardcore Homecoming , an ECW reunion event. He was involved as a special referee in the main match between Douglas, Funk and Sabu .

It wasn't until October 2005 that Foley reappeared in the WWE as an active wrestler. At the major Taboo Tuesday event , fans could choose which gimmick Foley should use to meet Carlito . Mankind won the vote and he emerged victorious in this match as well .

In early 2006, Foley was reinstated as a guest referee in the WWE. He directed a match between John Cena and Edge for the WWE World Title on a RAW edition. Cena was allowed to win this match and remain champion.
From this one wrote a feud between Edge and Foley. Both met at the 22nd edition of Wrestlemanias, where Edge was allowed to win. A short feud program followed, in which he allied himself with Edge and Lita and competed against Tommy Dreamer , Terry Funk and Beulah McGillicutty at the 2006 ECW One Night Stand .

After the event, Foley began a feud program with Ric Flair. The background was that Ric Flair had actually written in his book that Foley was just a "celebrated stuntman" while he was a deserved wrestler. The subject had long been resolved behind the scenes, but it was now used in front of the camera. The feud ended with an I-quit match at SummerSlam 2006 with a win for Flair. Shortly thereafter, Michael Foley took another TV break.

Foley made his comeback on a RAW edition in March 2007. Another appearance followed in June, during which Foley announced that he will be part of the WWE Championship Match at WWE Vengeance 2007, which he lost.

From April to August 2008 he was the second commentator on SmackDown alongside Jim Ross .

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2008-2011)

After the expiry of the WWE contract without further contract negotiations with the WWE, Foley went to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and had his first appearance there on September 5, 2008 at a house show.

On September 18, 2008, Jeff Jarrett introduced him to TNA iMPACT! presented as a new addition. Two weeks later, on October 2, 2008, he had iMPACT! his official ring-in debut. A storyline was worked out for Foley that made him the new owner of the TNA. As such, he got back actively as a wrestler in the ring.

On April 19, 2009, he was allowed to defeat Sting at the major event Lockdown broadcast as pay-per-view to become TNA World Heavyweight Champion . This was his first title win at TNA. At Slammiversary on June 21, 2009 he lost the title to Kurt Angle .

Mick Foley at a TNA event, 2011

On July 22, 2009 Mick Foley was allowed to defeat Kevin Nash for the TNA Legends Championship . On August 16, 2009 he had to give it back to Nash.

In the course of the developed storyline he lost on March 2, 2010 against Jeff Jarrett a so-called The Loser get's fired match . This allowed Foley to leave the promotion for a long time and made a promotional tour through Australia. There Foley was promoting Total Extreme Comedy , which is sponsored by NWA Australia.

In September of the same year, his feud program against Ric Flair was resumed. Against this, Foley won in the live edition of iMPACT! a last-man-standing match before the big Bound for Glory event . This is said to have been the last meeting of the two wrestlers, who are regarded as wrestling icons.

After further appearances at Bound for Glory and the iMPACT! - December 23rd, 2010 edition, Foley returned to TNA as a Network Consultant on May 3rd, 2011 . It was iMPACT! renamed by him to Impact Wrestling. On June 2, 2011, Impact Wrestling announced that he was no longer the station's representative. Three days later, it was announced that Foley's request for a release had been granted.
