Early Life

Michael Francis Foley was born in 1965 in Bloomington, Indiana.

Shortly after his birth, his family moved to Long Island, where he attended Ward Melville High School.

In high school, he played lacrosse and, along with actor Kevin James, was on the wrestling team.

While studying at the State University of New York at Cortland, Foley attended a match at Madison Square Garden to see his favorite wrestler, Jimmy Snuka. After seeing Snuka’s flying body splash move from the top of the cage, Foley decided to pursue a professional wrestling career seriously.

Career

In 1983, Mick Foley started training under Dominic DeNucci and appeared in many squash matches as jobbers for the WWF, and spent years wrestling on the independent circuit before joining World Class Championship Wrestling as Cactus Jack Manson.

In 1991, Foley caught the attention of World Championship Wrestling promoters, and after briefly wrestling for the Global Wrestling Foundation, he joined WCW full-time.

Cactus Jack quickly became a fan favorite, and his feud with Big Van Vader was a huge milestone in his career.

In one of the most brutal WCW matches, Foley faced Vader in a Texas Deathmatch in 1993. The ensuing violence left both commentators and fans stunned into disbelief, and WCW refused to book Foley against Vader again for a PPV match.

However, the two faced off again in 1994 in another brutal match, which resulted in Vader ripping Foley’s ear off. This match is still considered one of the most extreme in wrestling history.

Between 1994 and 1996, Foley transitioned to the independent circuit once more, though his 1995 fight in Japan was one of his most famous. In it, he debuted his barbed wire bat for the first time in a brutal match against Terry Gordy.

In 1996, Foley ended up getting a contract with the WWF, where he rebranded under the name Mankind and started a feud against The Undertaker, who threw Foley off a 20-foot-high cage during their 1998 King of the Ring match.

Later in 1998, Foley defeated Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to win the WWF World Title, a belt he wore thrice throughout his career.

Although he is now retired and serving as an ambassador for the WWE, Foley has also gone on to write two autobiographies, a novel, and a series of children’s books.

How Does Mick Foley Spend His Money?

Although we don’t know much about how Mick Foley spends his money, he did give us a peek in 2020 when he put his $1 million mansion up for sale after living in it for ten years. This property has five bedrooms and is located in Smithtown, New York, on Riverview Terrace, overlooking the Nissequogue River.

The home, which sports panoramic views of the waterfront, has a wrap-around deck, two master suites, and a private jet dock. However, the strangest part of the home is the Christmas room, which Foley has decked out with holiday decor and gifts he’s received throughout the years.

While we’re not sure where Foley has moved to now, we imagine it is somewhere much warmer.
