Mick Foley Reveals His Mount Rushmore Of Pro Wrestling

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has shared his personal Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling, naming four legendary figures who had a profound impact on both his career and the industry as a whole.

Speaking at the For the Love of Wrestling convention, Mick Foley was asked to select the four wrestlers he would immortalise in his own pro wrestling Mount Rushmore. Without hesitation, he named some of the sport’s most respected and hard-hitting competitors.

“I put Terry Funk on there, I put Shawn Michaels on there, I put Tommy Billington, The Dynamite Kid, because I’m a big fanatic of brawling, and I put Bruiser Brody on there as well.”

Foley’s selection of Terry Funk was unsurprising, given their long-standing friendship and history of brutal encounters across multiple promotions. The two hardcore legends also teamed up on several occasions, forming one of wrestling’s most unforgettable partnerships.

Shawn Michaels also earned a spot on Foley’s list. The two faced off in one of the most critically acclaimed matches of the 1990s at In Your House: Mind Games in 1996, a match that received widespread praise, including a four-and-three-quarter-star rating from Dave Meltzer.

Foley’s final two picks reflected his appreciation for hard-hitting, physical wrestling. The Dynamite Kid, Tommy Billington, was widely regarded as one of the most innovative and high-impact wrestlers of his era, inspiring generations to come. Meanwhile, Bruiser Brody was infamous for his intense brawling style and fearless approach to the business.

Foley’s selections highlight his admiration for wrestlers who pushed the limits of physicality and storytelling, an ethos he himself embodied throughout his legendary career.

What Was The Greatest Match Mick Foley Said He’s Ever Seen Live?

Mick Foley spoke about the wrestling match he said was the greatest match he’s ever seen live and named the legendary WrestleMania 13 bout between Bret Hart and Steve Austin. The Hart vs. Austin match is widely regarded as the best double turn match in wrestling history, as Hart turned heel whilst simultaneously turning Austin face in the process.
