Mick Foley, a renowned wrestling figure, has played three iconic characters throughout his career: Mankind, Dude Love, and Cactus Jack. However, one character holds a special place for him above the other two.
During the “For the Love of Wrestling” convention held in Manchester, England, Foley revealed his personal favorite as Mankind. He explained the reason behind this preference, stating,
“Mankind, by virtue of the fact that he made far more money than the other two, is my favorite.”
While Mankind remains his top choice, Foley confessed that creating videos for his fans permitted him to rediscover his affection for the Dude Love character. He shared,
“If someone has ever received a cameo video from me, they’ll see that Dude Love is reimagined in these videos. This gave me great pleasure and made me enjoy being Dude Love again. Nevertheless, Mankind remains my preferred character when it comes to storylines and angles. On the other hand, Cactus Jack was my go-to for the demanding matches, particularly the wild ones.”
In the WWE, Foley employed all three personalities, notably in the 1998 Royal Rumble match. He took the unprecedented step of participating thrice in the same game, each time as a different persona.
