10 WWE Stars Of The '90s Who Wouldn't Work Today

Ric Flair was, as he himself came to admit, wrong to describe Mick Foley as a "glorified stuntman".

At the same time, however, it is undeniable that Foley's devil-may-care attitude was at least part of what endeared him to the '90s WWE audience - something that he would obviously be forced to reign in by the constraint's of today's safety-first product.

Furthermore, an anthropomorphic sock-puppet, intuitively, just seems like something that would be less likely to catch on among today's jaded and cynical audience than with those of 20 years ago.

But then wrestling fans are nothing if not weird, and there's really no accounting for crazy (and sometimes stupid) things that become inexplicably popular. Foley, however neutered, would have a place in today's product, although perhaps not as WWE Champion.
