Alright so why would I say that Mankind (a.k.a Mick Foley,
a.ka. Dude Love, a.k.a Cactus Jack) is the greatest wrestler of all
time? Well there are many reasons. One of which is that
he represents what I think a lot of people wanna be.
He's not the most attractive person on the outside but he's more beautiful
inside than any other person in the WWF (or even in life actually) that
I have seen. No matter what hell this guy goes through he always
gets back up and brushes himself off and goes back for more. He never
lets the other guy intimidate him because Mankind will do whatever he has
to do, to scare his opponent before, during and after a match.
The one thing that Mankind loves to do and it is a real crowd pleaser is using his sidekick, Mr. Socko.
Mr. Socko is a sock with eyes, and a mouth that sits on Mankind's hand. Mankind has been known to put Mr. Socko on and then shove himself inside the mouth of his opponent. This really annoys the opponent and the distraction usually allows Mick Foley to do a really powerful slam, drop etc.. on his opponent and sometimes cause him to win. Here of some pictures of Mick and Socko doing what they do best.
Another thing that makes Mankind great is the way he feeds off of the audience's energy. I just love to watch footage of him onstage and listen as the crowd roars when he does basically...anything.
Mr. Socko isn't the only partner that Mick Foley has had
in his career in the WWF. He won the WWF tag-team championship belt
against the New Age Outlaws with his best friend - The Rock. They
became the unstoppable tag-team partnership (which could quite possibly
be the best the WWF has ever seen) - The Rock - n - Sock Connection.
There's really not a lot I can say to tell you why I think
Mankind is the best. It's impossible. But if you ever see this
guy in action. You just KNOW why.
Meet Dude Love--->
Dude Love - well I am sad to say I don't know much about Dude Love. I have never seen him in action. But this is a Mankind/Mick Foley page and I just had to add all 3 of his personalities. So instead of trying to tell you all about Dude Love. I'll just post some more pictures of him. And let you make your own mind up.
Okay so this is actually the only other pic I have of Dude Love so sue me.
Meet the third personality of Mick Foley. His name
is Cactus Jack. If your an avid WWF fan than you already know about
Cactus Jack. He's wild, he's mean, he's deranged --he's my kind of
guy. Even if he did start out in the WCW (ewwwww!!!) he is a cool
guy. I can't really say much else since I didn't start re-watching
WWF until just a bit before Cactus Jack got retired out of the World Wrestling
Federation.
But who is Mick Foley??? Good question. I
don't know the answer to that question. Because - well - nobody really
does. When you watch him wrestle you don't know if your watching
Mick or Mankind or who's mind is at work out there. Sometimes you
gotta wonder if Mick knows himself.
Mick Foley's book "Have A Nice Day" is on sale now.
If I have not made you see why Mankind is the greatest or at least why he's the greatest to me then I have failed. I really hope you enjoyed this page and I hope that you feel the urge to come back and see it over and over again. And I thank you for coming to see it.
Mick Foley was retired from the WWF in February of 2000
after losing "Hell In A Cell" to Triple H on the pay-per view special entitled
"No Way Out".
Thank You Mick Foley. You are missed.
We love you.
