Once upon a time, Dewey Foley's main claim to fame was that he was the topic of one of wrestling's all-time great promos. In 1995, Cactus Jack was in ECW playing an anti-hardcore, pro-WCW heel. The gimmick made the formerly-respected legend absolutely hated, and fans in ECW weren't exactly polite - one once brought a sign that read "CANE DEWEY," suggesting that The Sandman should use his favorite weapon to attack Cactus Jack's three-year-old son. Mick Foley turned his disgust into a classic promo that is still remembered more than 20 years later. Speaking of later, today Dewey Foley is 23 years old and working at his dream job - he's a writer's assistant in WWE. Though that job traditionally involves little writing, he could very well be on his way to a lengthy and productive tenure in creative.
