#1 Mick Foley

Mick Foley's life as a pro wrestler has been one that a lot of pro wrestlers have experienced, but his route to get there was certainly an unconventional one.
He wasn't exactly in the best shape, so promoters who loved muscle-bound hulks probably overlooked him.
Cody Rhodes' uncle is a WWE Hall of Famer. More details HERE.
And to set himself apart, he engaged in hardcore wrestling for which he became known as 'the Hardcore Legend'.
From his time in ECW to his matches in WWE, Foley was one of the mainstream wrestlers associated with the rise of the sub-genre in America.
Let's also not forget two of the greatest moments in WWE history - including when he finally won the WWE Championship and when he went crashing through the Hell in a Cell structure against the Undertaker - and continued the match.
He also lost an ear during a match and is a best-selling author. When all is said and done, Foley has an underdog story that would certainly resonate with audiences.
And how hilarious would it be to see the time he entered the Royal Rumble match under all three of his personas on the big screen?
