Mick Foley has wrestled as himself since he retired from a full-time professional wrestling career.

It could be argued that he took a few character traits from each persona to create a marketable Mick Foley.

He competed in a couple of memorable feuds with Randy Orton and Edge, setting the bar higher every time, and showing his sadistic nature.

Most of these matches to me resembled the character of Cactus Jack.

The style in which he wrestled and merely the sadistic look on his face showed to the audience that Mick Foley in reality was not Mankind, nor was he Dude Love, but the most feared incarnation of his apparent split personality—Cactus Jack.

More evidence that suggests Mick Foley himself is just a manifestation of Cactus Jack is the T-Shirt he wears. Instead of saying “Cactus Jack: Wanted Dead or Alive," it stated “Mick Foley: Hardcore Legend."

The fact that the attire is so similar is WWE’s way of saying, “This is Cactus, but you have to call him Mick now that he isn’t officially a full-time wrestler."

Is removing the character such a good thing though?

On the one hand, it allows Mick Foley to finally have his name up in lights as himself, not as an extended version of himself.

Secondly, the fans were a little wiser to all Foley had accomplished by the time he was wrestling with his own name, so it made sense for him to come back as himself and portray all three characters without the necessary change of attire.

On the other hand, it’s a shame for the older fans.

Despite the outcomes and the matches being exactly the same, there’s something about Cactus Jack vs. Randy Orton that excites me a little more than Mick Foley vs. Randy Orton.

It is after reviewing these points regarding Mick Foley as a character that I have come to the conclusion he is the worst incarnation of the four barring Dude Love.

However, one could also read the evidence that he was the best of the four, but I’ve made my choice and I stick by it.

I just didn’t know where I stood with the guy. One minute he was in a Mankind-esque comedy mood, the next he was ripping Orton to shreds with a demented smile on his face reminiscent of Cactus Jack.

This slide however is fully dependent on opinion because the fourth face of Foley is technically all three in one. Think of the three-headed dog from Harry Potter. That is Mick Foley.
