WWE Hall of Famer and icon of pro wrestling Mick Foley recently revealed which of his Three Faces of Foley gimmicks was his absolute favourite.
Appearing on the Excuse Me: The Vickie Guerrero Show podcast, Foley would reveal if he preferred Mankind, Cactus Jack or Dude Love.
‘I love being Cactus. At the time I was doing it, I enjoyed being Dude Love for two months during the ’˜Summer of Love’ [in 1997]” Foley began.
“But when November rolled around and I was still dancing in the ring, I was like, ’˜Oh. This character has run its course’. But I love being Dude Love on Cameo videos. It’s the hokiest. Dude has reinvented himself as a lounge singer” Foley revealed.
“So, I do birthday songs. (Foley sings badly) So I love doing it. But if I had to pick one I would pick Mankind. Latter-day Mankind. And the reason is ’“ I didn’t realize it at the time but that latter-day Mankind character was really connecting with people who didn’t feel like they fit in” Foley added.
“So it was kind of a sense of ’“ a source of ’“ we’re supposed to take people’s minds off their problems and entertain. But it took me years to find out that people were connecting and felt a kinship with this guy who didn’t quite fit in but found a way to become a big deal anyway” Foley concluded.
