Mick Foley is GOD. My favorite match of all time is the Hell in a Cell between him and the Undertaker. My two favorite wrestlers in a death trap, what could be better. And that insane man got back on top of the cell after being thrown off the top, only to be slammed through it. Amazing. I did add that, well, not exactly, but I added a sentence where I mention they avoided hitting the head. Might as well add a line or two in regards to that thing.

As for Mickles, I follow the guy on Facebook and man, he's a blessing. He influeced a generation of wrestlers who probably already outdid him in terms of hardcore and story telling, while still not taking as much risk. Dean Ambrose took a fake sawdrill to the head once, and he sold it off so well people actually thought he used the real thing. Sami Callihan who actually makes you believe in his heel work. Jimmy Jacobs (who came up with Jericho's list), is also a mad man, he's doing so much crazy stuff with his gimmick work and what not. Man, if it weren't for the ECW guys and Mick Foley, we wouldnt've had so many good wrestlers out there. I actually thought of writing a story using the original portrayal of his Mankind persona as a basis for a really mental schizophreniac antagonist who bumps for his hellucinations. Might get back to it, but I don't even know if I'll be able to do him justice.
