10 Most DANGEROUS Wrestlers Ever
10. Cactus Jack (Generally!)
Few characters carried a sense of danger like Mick Foley's alter ego.
Cactus Jack was a threat to himself as much as anyone else, and fans watching knew it. Ol' Cactus wouldn't shy away from breaking his own body just to inflict damage; Jack's elbow drops off the ring apron, iconic 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire and general violence made him feel indestructible.
There was something uniquely charming about all of this. Cactus wasn't presented as someone impervious to pain like Mankind, or even a fun-loving gimmick like Dude Love. No, instead, Jack was a lawless offshoot of Mick's personality, and he carried a sympathetic edge only babyface Mankind could match at his peak.
Everyone knew they were going to see some wild stuff whenever that guitar riff blared out. That was true in WCW as well as the WWF. The fact Eric Bischoff was alarmed by some of Foley's antics in Atlanta during the early-1990s says it all.
