Mick Foley Names His Top Five Wrestling Matches

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley is actively raising funds for wrestlers in need through the Cauliflower Alley Club (CAC) during his current one-man show tour.

When asked about five matches he’d want to live on forever, Foley listed:

  1. His “Mind Games” match with Shawn Michaels (September 1996).
  2. His “Backlash” match against Randy Orton (May 2004).
  3. His New York City Street Fight with Triple H (January 2000).
  4. A surprisingly intense house show match with Vader in Manchester, UK. “I can’t believe we’re doing this at a house show,” he recalled thinking.
  5. His first Japanese no-rope, barbed-wire deathmatch against Terry Funk (January 10, 1995). “We tore it down because we understood that the Japanese media contingent was there and half a million fans were going to see what we did… It was more brutal than the cell… It does hold up, I think, as an example of the lengths we were willing to go to put this little promotion on the map.”
