10 Most Indestructible Wrestlers Of All Time

Whether it was part of his gimmick or legitimate toughness, Mick Foley is the most indestructible wrestler to ever live. The amount of damage he has taken throughout his career is mind-boggling; the fact that he has gotten up so many times after enduring so much damage makes one wonder if Foley is even human.

Three events stand out as prime examples of Foley’s superhuman ability to absorb punishment. First, he suffered 11 unprotected chair-shorts to the head from the Rock at Royal Rumble 1999, and kept getting up, refusing to stay down. Whether that was part of Foley’s gimmick or his real toughness, it doesn’t matter.

Second, in ECW, Sandman tried to break a real beer bottle over Cactus Jack’s head, but since it wasn’t gimmicked, Sandman had to hit Foley as hard as possible on the skull. It took seven brutal shots for the bottle break, and each time Sandman hit Cactus, it made the same sound as a bottle hitting concrete. Yet Foley kept getting up after each hit.

Finally, there’s his infamous falls at King of the Ring 1998. When Jerry Lawler quipped, ‘that’s it, he’s dead’, that wasn’t an attempt at black humor; many people believed that Foley was legitimately dead following his fall through the cell. Yet even after separating both shoulders, falling hard on his back, getting hit by a chair and losing a tooth, and getting thrown onto a bed of thumbtacks, Foley kept…getting…up.

Truly, when it comes to being indestructible, there’s no one more synonymous with that word than Mick Foley.
