WWE: 10 Memorable Times Superstars Pulled Double Duty At PPVs

7. Mick Foley - Royal Rumble 1998

Just before Mick Foley would find immense success as Mankind in late 1998/early 1999, he liked to jump back and forth between his three alter egos. Mankind, a deranged freak living in the various arena boiler rooms; Cactus Jack, a deranged freak who was not afraid to take on seemingly any challenge, no matter how asinine; and Dude Love, a fun-loving hippie. Taking advantage of these incredible disguises, Foley decided to enter the Royal Rumble match three times over. As Cactus Jack, he entered at #1, eventually sparring with Terry Funk before being eliminated rather quickly. Once #16 came up, it turned out to be Mankind, who promptly eliminated Terry Funk, getting retaliation for his first exit. Following his first showing, Mankind wouldn't last very long as he was eliminated by Goldust. Finally, at #28, Foley entered one last time as Dude Love. This time, we would make it to the Final Four before being eliminated by Faarooq. Some would call it determination, some would call it cheating. I call it knowing how to exploit the rules. I mean, all he needed was different clothes, apparently.
