Mick Foley is overrated. Feed me your hate.

[DoctorDeelon]

Although he seems like a SJW douche outside of the ring

Yeah he sure does like to run his mouth on Twitter. And constantly trying to put WWE into weird spots, like demanding they take Trump out of the HOF or demanding they have a full female show. Vince must secretly hate him at this point.

The Louisville Chuck’s thoughts:

I think Cornette gives Mick too much of a free pass on his style of wrestling, because he worked with Mick a lot and likes him.

When Cornette is ragging on guys for taking crazy bumps, wrestling in garbage hardcore matches, jumping off of buildings through flaming tables... he should acknowledge that Mick is probably their biggest influence, even indirectly if not directly. Obviously ECW has to take a lot of the blame, but Mick's most brutal matches in WWE reached a far bigger audience than ECW ever did.

Mick gets a pass because he made himself a millionaire doing that shit instead of ending up a broke meth-head in a burned out bingo hall like the other 99.9% of the folks who wrestle that way. He also didn't do it every time he stepped in a ring.

Overrated or underrated, it depends on what a person thinks. If you think he's top 10, yea, way overrated. Top 50, sounds about right for US/NA only. Top 100, okay, maybe underrated

Corny would be a great trial lawyer, because he’s excellent at special arguing. I have axiomatic moral issues with that.

This right here

His daughter is overrated. Cute face but she has Mick's lower body. Dumpy bitch.

The problem's not the lower half, the problem is that the tits are fake.

Its all a problem!

I still think it's a little hypocritical of Corny, I imagine Kenny Olivier made a ton of money wrestling blow up dolls and little girls in Japan, prancing around dressed up as Jasmine and doing some really gay shit, Corny is always blasting guys for doing stuff just for the money (like taking Joey Ryan's dick spot).

But that's not comparing Mick to like CZW retards, Mick obviously had a lot of wrestling and promo talent that those guys don't.

I don't get people who think everyone should be Dean Malenko on the mat, if you're that arsed about technique enough to discredit Mick I don't know how you can even bring yourself to contribute to a conversation on WWE in 2021 without crying yourself to sleep.

 

[Bluesbreaker]

I won't feed TS any hate. Most wrestling fans just have bad taste.

Foley is my #4 all time favorite. The bumps this man took for his art in wrestling is not to be joked about. He wasn't a great technical wrestler but no other wrestler could bump like he could, he was in a league of his own.

He was also very entertaining on the mic, I loved his promos, his comedy and wit.

You have just motivated me to watch some Foley matches on Peacock so thank you.

I think Foley is great, but there is definitely a case for overrated.

I think Flair called him "a glorified stuntman"
Hogan said something like "I don't need to prostitute my body to get over"

And then you have Shane McMahon,a non wrestler who outdid a lot of Foley's best bumps.

 

[GoodBadHBK]

outdid a lot of Foley's best bumps

Shane's bumps are good but nowhere near Foley's

Shane's best bumps were against Angle imo

 

[Thrawn33]

Shane could afford to do that shit because he wasn't on the road like Foley was.

I'm a firm believer the big bumps every so often don't fuck you up, it's the small ones damn near every day with no recovery time...

Not to mention all of the concrete bumps, barb wire, chair shots ect ect he took

He did Stone Colds podcast and stone cold read a list of injuries and asked Mick give a 1-10 of what hurt the most,

Mick gave his ear being ripped off a 3 but actually being choked in the ropes a 10

First bump off the cell a 9 and the 2nd one a 10

To even think Shane jumping off the cell and falling backwards against Blackman can even compare to Foley's bumps is one of the dumbest things I've read in the PW forum.

There's only 1 Foley

A "glorified stuntman" that could also cut top tier promos

 

[Sivo The Ram]

She does the "I'm gonna eat and be happy and not starve myself just to get Instagram approval" gimmick.

But her "not starving herself" seems to be "I'm gonna shove this giant pizza down my throat and not exercise".

if only she would shove something else giant down her throat and put it on the gram

Hogan needed 8 back surgeries and lost like 4 inches in height.

Hogan needed 8 back surgeries and lost like 4 inches in height.

Thats because of the legdrop.
Not really high risk but the accumulation of 300 pounds jumping in the air and landing on his ass each time is not good for the spine.

 

[deezy]

Still in worse shape than one who prostituted his body,
