13 Things We Learned From Mick Foley On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast

11. Becoming Cactus Jack

Steve says that even though they've known each other for years there's many things he's never gotten the chance to ask Mick, and wants to know how he transformed from his original character of Dude Love into the maniacal Cactus Jack.

Mick replies that he created Dude Love as a way of being all the things that the real Mick Foley wasn't, and he knew that Mother Nature was not cooperating with the Dude Love character so he became Jack as a tribute to his father, the original Jack Foley.

Terry Taylor gave him the advice "If you can't look better than everyone out there then you have to work as hard as you can to look different", so everything he did was predicated on that philosophy.
