5. Mick Foley
Mick Foley the individual is worthy of the respect of any wrestling fan. This man gave us his body for our entertainment and as a result will be plagued with constant pain for the rest of his life. Having participated in activity within a professional wrestling ring for 11 years I have taken my fair share of falls, and I can tell you that there are no words that would be able to describe the amount of pain he must have to go through. Alternatively Mick Foley, the wrestler in the era that the 2K14 is portraying is worthy of being on this list. Cactus Jack and Mankind were much more sadistic variations of his three personas, and though he couldn't get the job done as Cactus Jack when his career was on the line against Triple H, he proved time and time again why he is worthy of the name "Hardcore Legend". But legends were made to be killed, as evident in Randy Orton's "Legend Killer" run, not to be confused with the "Killed by Legends" run of Drew Macintyre. The Hardcore Legend is a name have come to know from the same man that was the beloved commissioner, or sporadic special guest referee. If you were to use the same principal of comparing a wrestler with himself during a different time period as we did with Triple H, when faced with his past egos it will appear that Mick Foley is inferior.
