JOIN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING

• When Foley/Cactus joined World Championship
  Wrestling in 1989, Jack had made a name for
  himself as a wrestler who didnt mind getting hit
  with a metal chair or getting slammed to a
  concrete floor. He also worked on developing his
  characters. He perfected a role as a tag-team
  wrestler who didnt work with his partner and
  read books during matches before beating up his
  partner.

He Lost His Ear

• Foley eventually became one of WCWs most popular
  wrestlers, but his increasingly violent and
  dangerous moves in the ring got him in trouble
  with his bosses. In a match against Big Van Vader
  in Munich, Germany, in March 1994, Foley tried a
  hangman trick in which he got his neck caught
  in the ropes and had to pull his right ear off to
  get free.

The King Of The Death Match

• Foley started spending more time in Japan. In
  August 1995, he won the King of the Death Match
  tournament by surviving explosions and getting
  caught in barbed wire. This brought him a new
  level of fame. When he got back to the United
  States, Extreme Championship Wrestling welcomed
  him with open arms. There, he showed off his
  unique ability to tell stories through creative
  promotional interviews that made fun of his
  hardcore reputation.

11
Mankind And Dude Love

• Foley joined WWE in 1996, the same year that
  Mankind made his debut. Mankind was a crazy
  character who wore a leather mask, lived in a
  boiler room, and killed people by sticking his
  fingers down their throats. Foleys scary persona
  and his ability to do a lot of different things
  made him a great opponent for both popular
  heartthrobs like Shawn Michaels and scary people
  like the Undertaker.

12
Alternate Side

• But by the summer of 1997, Foley was showing fans
  a different side of himself as Dude Love, a
  fun-loving hippie in tie-dyed t-shirts. Later
  that year, he brought back Cactus Jack and would
  often switch between two or three characters at
  the same event.

Match For Hell In A Cell

• In a match against the Undertaker in June 1998
  known as Hell in a Cell, Foley/Mankind was
  thrown from the top of the 16-foot-high cage onto
  a table, choke-slammed through the cage top, and
  thrown to a thumbtack-covered mat. Some of the
  injuries he got from the show were a broken jaw
  and shoulder, a cut in his mouth that needed 14
  stitches, and a loose tooth that was sticking out
  of his nose.

14
Start Of Comedy

• Foley took on a new challenge in 2009 when he
  started doing stand-up comedy. He was no longer
  able to fully commit to his full-throttle stunts,
  so he turned his act into more of a story segment
  that riffed on his wild career in pro wrestling.
  Foley has also worked as a crisis counsellor for
  the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network
  (RAINN) for a long time.

15
Personal Life

• Foley met his wife, Colette, in 1990 on Long
  Island while he was handing out flyers for a
  wrestling event. Dewey, Noelle, Mickey, and
  Hughie are their four kids.
