It was reported today on WWE.com that the “Hardcore Legend”, Mick Foley will be inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Foley was the first name announced to this year’s class which many people expect to be a loaded one as it will be held in the “Mecca of Sports Entertainment”, Madison Square Gardens in New York City.
Foley has often told the story of hitchhiking to the Gardens to see the Steel Cage Match between Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka and “The Magnficent” Muraco and for him to be inducted to the Hall of Fame in that facility has to generate a special feeling for the former three time WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Under the personas of Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love and his own given name, Foley had his greatest success in the Vince McMahon owned company, and his recent return to the organization felt like a homecoming for many of his fans.
We had the pleasure of interviewing Mick while he was still TNA and asked him whether he would accept an invite to the WWE HOF. He responded that he would, and we are very happy to see that this came to fruition.
Mick Foley is ranked #7 on our Notinhalloffame WWE list. For now, we will not take him off and will revise our respective list after Wrestlemania. We congratulate Mick for his latest achievement. It is well earned!
Mick Foley to the WWE HOF
