**Michael Francis Foley** (born June 7, 1965) is an American actor, author, retired professional wrestler, and color commentator. Foley is signed to WSC under his real name "**Mick Foley**" and ring names **Cactus Jack** and **Mankind**, of which the two are 2/3 of "The Three Faces of Foley" along with **Dude Love**. Although Love did show up at Nathan's 19th birthday party, Foley hasn't wrestled as Love yet in WSC. Foley is a former WSC Hardcore Champion.

### First Hardcore Champion (2019)

Foley (as **Cactus Jack**) along with Edge, Shane McMahon, Jon Moxley, and Jeff Hardy competed in a Gauntlet Match to determine the inaugural WSC Hardcore Champion. Jack unfortunately lost in the first round as he got Speared off the arena into a cardboard box and got pinned by Edge. Jack's next appearance came when he faced against first ever champion Moxley, where he won with a pin after a Package Piledriver, making him the 2nd ever WSC Hardcore Champion. The reign didn't last long, as Edge won the championship after pinning Jack right after Spearing him into a Flaming Barb Wire Board, marking his reign at 9 days.

Jack got another chance at the championship in the first ever WSC Elimination Chamber Match under the moniker **Mankind** along with champion Edge, Rob Van Dam, Tommaso Ciampa, Jeff Hardy, and Jon Moxley. Mankind was the first to get out of his pod, focusing on Ciampa and Hardy. Though his momentum died down when he got pushed off the chamber into the table. Amazingly, Mankind tried to crawl back into the chamber after being put on a stretcher, but ultimately got eliminated by Ciampa. Months later, Mankind returned in the first ever WSC Royal Rumble at #22 as **Cactus Jack** again, immediately eliminated Adam Cole. Sadly, Jack got thrown out after being put through thumbtacks by Abyss. Jack, now under **Mick Foley**, came into the first ever WSC Deadly Games match with Ciampa, Cole, Jeff Hardy, Moxley, and Stone Cold Steve Austin, but lost to Jon Moxley.

### Sporadic Appearances (2020)

Foley (again as **Cactus Jack**) returned in the April 2020 Royal Rumble at #2. He and Jon Moxley work together to eliminate 40-Man Battle Royal Winner Enzo Amore, but then got eliminated himself by Braun Strowman. Jack's next appearance would be against The Fiend in the first ever Fall Brawl Match as **Mankind**, but ends up with Mankind falling through 9 tables through the ground, giving The Fiend the victory.

Mankind's final appearance as an active wrestler would be in the November 2020 Royal Rumble at #5 as **Mick Foley**, where he would get instantly eliminated by rival The Fiend.

### Austin Theory's mentor (2023-present)

Foley made a cameo appearance as a crowd member at WrestleMania Hollywood. As Roman Reigns put out a stair to the announcer's table, he decided to talk trash to some people in the audience, Foley included. Foley then appeared before the Deadly Games match, talking some sense into Austin Theory about him being the future of this company. Weeks later, Theory was eventually training under Foley. Foley's training tactics basically involves beating up Theory to test if he can withstand the pain. He ran Theory over for crying out loud.

### Personal Life

Foley married his wife, Colette (*née* Christie), in 1992. They have three sons and a daughter: Dewey Francis (born February 20, 1992), Noelle Margaret (born December 15, 1993), Michael Francis "Mickey" Jr. (born 2001), and Hughie Francis (born 2003). As of June 2018, Dewey works for WWE, Noelle is a social media model and Mickey is on the autism spectrum. Mickey and Hughie operate their own YouTube channel, MickeyFoley0105. Foley himself occasionally appears in Mickey's videos, including one parodying the 2010 LeBron James special *The Decision* in which Foley teases announcing Al Snow as being his WWE Hall of Fame inductee before announcing the real inductee, Terry Funk.

Foley is a longtime fan of women's professional wrestling and has campaigned for their equality with men.

Foley is a supporter of the Stony Brook Seawolves college basketball team and frequently attended home games. Foley's father taught at Stony Brook University's school of professional development.

In January 2021, Foley stated that he had tested positive for COVID-19. He made a full recovery within a few days after a bit of mild discomfort.
