25 Greatest Superstars In WWE Raw History

8. Mick Foley

Mick Foley's maiden WWE Title win is a deeply evocative moment not just because of the drama caused by the sea of chaos around him but the airtight bond between the audience and the beloved character he'd carefully refined during the most significant year of his career.

One of Monday Night Raw's greatest scenes and a snapshot of the Attitude Era at its luxurious best, Foley perhaps always carried the veneer of authority by virtue of his repeated placement in some of the generation's most iconic moments. He's been a Commissioner multiple times, a General Manager and even a co-General Manager, ordinarily taking a kicking for the greater good on his way out.

Selfless and self-harming in equal measures, Foley's performances in countless legendary segments on the show have left him as tightly woven into its history as the plaid shirts he's remained equally (and sometimes frustratingly) as loyal towards.
