Mick Foley has had many hardcore moments outside the WWE. In fact, it was outside the WWE that he established the “Hardcore legend” moniker, with his career often crossing paths with fellow-hardcore legend Terry Funk. We all know of the incidents where Foley had faced literal fire to his face, had his ear torn in a match and so much more.
In WWE, he brought out an entirely new side to himself. Moreover, the brutality that he had faced and brought had never really been seen before. Since his rise to the top began at the late New Generation era period and peak Attitude Era years, naturally, he was given the creative freedom to push boundaries and shock the world.
But the pure physical pain that he would put himself through is staggering to think of even two decades later. He gave his body and his life for the business, and fans appreciated his passion and love, and it translated on screen. He’s been responsible for some of the most magical moments in WWE history, such as winning the WWF title on RAW, among others. He’s also had his fair share of brutal moments in the company, and we look at the five most hardcore ones.
