10 Wrestlers Who Seriously Started To Believe Their Own Hype

7. Mick Foley

There was a time when Mick Foley represented the fact that people's dreams can come true, they just have to really believe in them and know that there's a long road ahead, one full of various potholes which could threaten their resolve. Foley is an excellent example of somebody who stuck his middle finger firmly in the face of adversity - even when people said he couldn't, he did. Becoming one of the biggest stars in the grappling universe despite never having that killer body, the 'Mickster' achieved his childhood dream of becoming a World Champion, and now can look back on a lengthy career crammed full of memorable moments, big-money matches and countless broken bones! It was when working as a commentator for WWE in 2008 that Foley started to show some cracks in his 'everyman' demeanour. Believing himself to be exempt from Vince McMahon's infamous tirades over the headset to his announcers, Foley took the hump, effectively saying that a star his size shouldn't be treated that way. Needless to say, this wasn't a great period in the man's career, and he came across as pretty arrogant during several interviews and online statements.
