Mick Foley

If so, they shouldn’t.  Mick Foley has been dubbed the Hardcore Legend and may very well be the most respected wrestler of his generation for the way that he put his body on the line night after night.  Many of his matches are considered classics and despite the amount of Hardcore moments he had in the ring, Foley was a far more accomplished wrestler then given credit for.  Think about this for a moment; Mick Foley created Cactus Jack, Mankind and Dude Love which all became iconic figures in the WWF.  You could add a fourth, As Mick may have eclipsed his three characters combined by wrestling as just “Mick Foley”, who through his books, acting and charitable work is known for his natural personality and intelligence.

With his tenure in TNA done, many have speculated that this could pave a way for his return to the WWE and to the Hall of Fame itself.  We now this much; when it is this difficult to discern what his top five moments were (because there was so much to choose from) it sounds like a Hall of Famer to us.
