WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley Reveals His Favourite “Face Of Foley”

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has revealed which of his legendary wrestling personas he most enjoyed portraying.

Speaking at a For The Love Of Wrestling convention, Mick Foley was asked to choose between his three famous alter egos: Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love. He responded:

“Well, by virtue of the fact that Mankind made far more money than the other two, he’s my favourite, but if anyone’s ever gotten a Cameo video from me, Dude Love has been reinvented on Cameo to the point where I really enjoy being Dude Love again. But Mankind was my favourite character to portray as far as storylines and angles, whereas Cactus Jack was my favourite for the big matches, especially the wild matches.”

Foley’s career was defined by his ability to reinvent himself through these distinct personas. Cactus Jack, introduced in the 1980s, became known for his no-holds-barred, hardcore wrestling style. When Foley joined WWE in 1996, he introduced the deranged and masked Mankind, whose feuds and dramatic moments became some of the most iconic in WWE history. A year later, he reintroduced Dude Love, a persona originally created during his youth, allowing him to embrace a more fun-loving, comedic character.

Between 1997 and 1998, Foley frequently switched between all three personas, adapting to different storylines. Mankind became his primary identity until 2000, though he would later revive Cactus Jack for high-profile matches before his initial WWE departure. Upon his return in 2004, Foley primarily wrestled under his real name but occasionally brought back his famous alter egos for special appearances.

What Did Mick Foley Recently Say About His WWE Pay?

Mick Foley spoke about his time in wrestling and how he feels lucky to have had the career that he had in WWE, and because of his career, he is able to make money by attending wrestling conventions, despite not having wrestled full-time in 25 years.

However, Foley made a surprising admission by stating that he made more money by appearing at a recent For The Love Of Wrestling convention than he did wrestling for WWE in Madison Square Garden.
