He's also a terrific person who constantly working for charities and doing community events. And he may well be Santa Claus, though he insists he's only an ambassador.
He's one of very few wrestlers from that era I've never heard anything bad about, and it always makes me nervous to mention that because I'm worried someone will come along and tear down my last remaining childhood wrestling hero.
The women who he shared a locker room in the early 2000s trusted him enough to change in front of him. They all said he was more like a big brother, and protector rather than a predator the other men might have been.
When asked if Mick Foley ever groped her, Torrie Wilson said "One time he touched my arm....but thats as close as he ever got to touching any of us."
And another time he wanted to make a big comeback to wrestling. He wanted to ride santas sleigh, from the top of the arena to the ring.
Vince McMahon rejected the idea for logistical reasons. Saying it was too hard to rig a safe way to carry an entire sled from up there.
Vince said "Even if I could find a sled capable of carrying your fat ass from the top of the arena, and even if Owen Hart hadn't already died in a similiar stunt, Mick, do you realize it's god damned March??? Nobody wants to see Santa in March!"
The thing that offended Foley the most was the idea of people not wanting to see Santa. Mick has a room in his house that's always decorated in Christmas decorations, playing Christmas music. 365 days a year.
So I think you're safe.
Omg I know right? Every year I'm like "whew Mankind made it through another one" lmao
