Overview

In the rich history of the World Wrestling Federation, no superstar has been more deranged or maniacal than Mankind. A skilled grappler who can beat opponents with sheer brutality, this Boiler Room Dweller is one of three personalities (along with Dude Love and Cactus Jack) of the unstable Mick Foley. From the very beginning, Mankind loved pain. From his outcast days growing up in Bloomingdale, ID, where he was smacked in the lip while playing a game, he vowed vengeance on his enemies and now reigns as one of the hottest rising stars in the WWF. Starting out in the CWA as Cactus Jack Manson, Mick Foley won his first championship in the form of a CWA Tag Team Title with Gary Young. Later defeated and forced to leave the CWA, and after a brief stint in the NWA, Cactus Jack entered the WCW. It was here that he began his legendary feud with Big Van Vader, and was eventually powerbombed by Vader onto a concrete floor, resulting in a concussion and amnesia. With his debut in the WWF as Mankind, rumbling with the likes of Undertaker and tag-teaming with Stone Cold as Dude Love, Mick Foley is a 4-time Tag-Team Championship and a WWF Hardcore Champion. This book will be an inside look into the reckless and vengeful life of one of the WWF’s most complex and feared Superstars.
