10 WWE Superstars who are immensely popular among non-wrestling fans

#6 Mick Foley

A hardcore liberal

When you're seen as one of the main building blocks of WWE's most successful era, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to learn you are fairly well known outside of the ring as well. This is definitely the case with Mick Foley, who is also known as a best selling author, a regular TV and film personality, and a liberal activist.

Foley has used his time in the spotlight to write about his experiences in the ring. His memoirs, which he began writing in 1999 and is still adding to today, have become popular with readers whether they watch sports entertainment or not. In this way, Foley has essentially become a bridge for people who want to know what the inside world of wrestling is like but don't have much of an interest in watching it.

Mick is also known as a talented children's author, writing various fiction tales, normally with Christmas or Halloween themes. In other forms of media, Foley has provided voice overs for various TV shows including Celebrity Death Match, Squidbillies.

He is also a fairly big name in the world of Liberal activism. He has appeared on The Daily Show with John Stewart several times, defending gay rights and immigration reform. Amongst the many charities he works with, the one closest to him is child poverty. He has donated huge sums of money to organisations in the US and abroad assisting children who are struggling to get by.

Don't be too surprised when you see somebody post a link to Foley's work without knowing what Hell in a Cell even means.
