Mick Foley’s 13 Most Hardcore Moments

By Elliott Binks /

5. WrestleMania 22

Another instance of Foley playing with fire, and this one will probably go down as his defining WrestleMania moment. The bout itself was a classic, with Foley putting in a vintage hardcore performance against Edge. We saw thumbtacks and barbed wire€”wrapped around a bat, Mr. Socko and even Foley€™s abdomen€”in a number of gruelling spots. Undoubtedly though, it was the match€™s finish that was the most incredible. After Lita set a table alight on the outside of the ring, a prone Foley was speared from the apron and through the flaming object below, crashing in a literal blaze of glory.Though the flames were extinguished fairly sharpish, I can€™t imagine a plaid shirt would have been enough to save him from some degree of burn.
