A Tribute To The Best Wrestler Ever
Mick Foley aka Mankind aka Cactus Jack aka Dude Love
This guy was the last of the real wrestlers in my eyes and maybe the best wrestler of all time. Not only was he completely insane, but he literally gave 110% for the viewers. His injuries during wrestling consisted of :
- Six concussions from 1986 to 1998
- One broken jaw in 1986
- Two broken noses in 1993
- One broken cheekbone in 1998
- Lost four front teeth from 1989 to 1998
- Two-thirds of his ear ripped off in 1993 (Against Vader in Germany)
- A separated shoulder in 1990
- A fractured left shoulder in 1989
- A dislocated shoulder in 1998
- Second degree burn on his shoulder in 1995 (In the King of the Death Match in Japan)
- Second degree burns on his arm in 1995 (In the King of the Death Match in Japan)
- 54 stitches on his left arm in 1995 (In the King of the Death Match in Japan)
- A broken right wrist in 1989
- Bone chips in his right elbow in 1996
- Six broken ribs from 1991 to 1998
- A torn abdominal in 1992
- A torn ACL
- A broken toe in 1991
- A total of over 300 stitches in his arms, head, eyebrows, hands, ears, shin, cheek and lip
- Thousands of thumb tack holes
- Broken left thumb during a little league baseball game in 1978!
And if that isn't bad ass, I don't know what is. The Undertaker - Mankind match in 1998 was the best wrestling match of all time and no one can tell me different. He was the definition of a wrestler and with that being said, I salute you Mick Foley.
