10 Wrestlers Who Foreshadowed Everything
7. Mick Foley
Most children dreaming of one day becoming a professional wrestler imagine themselves as world champions.
If the glare and glitz of pro wrestling hooks you young, it's likely that some of the sparkles from the show's richest prizes are what shine the brightest. This was certainly the case for John Cena, Zack Ryder and countless others we've seen with homemade title belts to go along with their costumes and self-styled gimmicks.
When Mick Foley lived out his dream of becoming WWE Champion after putting an awful lot of butts in the seats against The Rock, he did so as Mankind - a far cry from the Dude Love persona that dominated his awesome home movies. But that also made air. Dude made it to WWE. So did Mick, and they made it all the way to the top.
But it wouldn't Mick Foley making it to the top with crashing hard to the floor below.
Not only did Foley foreshadow his life's work, but he also predicted his doom. Those same home movies found him leaping from the roof of his house through a makeshift table - something mirrored in various crippling forms as he finally made it to the biggest stage.
