In 1996, at the persistence of Jim Ross, whom Foley had known in his days in WCW, WWF head Vince McMahon brought on Foley, and he signed a contract with WWF and this time, the WWF did not use Foley as “enhancement talent”. McMahon was not a fan of Cactus Jack and wanted to cover up Foley’s face, so he was shown several designs for a new heel character–a man with a leather mask and chains, called Mason the Mutilator. However, WWF decided that it was too dark and only left the mask, and although interested in the concept of the character, Foley did not like the name, so he came up with the name Mankind, which McMahon liked and approved.

Collette Foley, formerly known as Collette Christie, is the current wife of Mick Foley. Mick and Collette have been married since the early ’90s and are blessed with four kids. Collette met Mick after a few years of her modelling career and working for the WWE back in the 90s.
No one in the history of WWE has taken the amount of beatings that Foley has taken. He was the WWF’s first hardcore champion, and set an impossible and dangerous bar for that belt that no one could ever live up to. There’s no doubt about it, Mick Foley is the most dangerous man in WWE history.
This is probably the most identifiable feature of Mick Foley. He is missing an ear, and it is due to this incident in a match against Vader in 1994. Cactus purposely meant to get stuck in the ropes but because they were wound too tight, when the referee got him free, he lost his ear.
