https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8qo7YU6QSA Mick Foley had built himself a cult fan base during his days as Cactus Jack both in WCW and in Japan, but his time in ECW saw him deliver an entirely different side that many fans didn't know he had. He was able to cut promos that were not only lengthy but were completely from his mind, playing on real emotions and real events that were going on in his life. He would weave humor, anger, sadness and frustration into his work, making him one of the more diverse promo men in wrestling. It was "Cane Dewey" that really put him on the map. The story was simple... during a match, Foley looked out into the crowd at the ECW Arena and saw a fan holding a sign that said "Cane Dewey". In the promo, he revealed that the Dewey being mentioned was his three-year-old son. The "smart" fans had learned Foley's son's name and made a sign about him. Foley would launch into an angry tirade about how seeing that sign broke his heart and how it made him realize that the ECW fans were bloodthirsty animals who didn't care about the wrestlers at all. Mick was able to weave storyline into the promo, telling ECW favorite Tommy Dreamer that the fans were going to turn on him at some point and that it wasn't worth the hell that Tommy was putting his body through. As a master of emotions, Mick delivered his masterpiece here, tapping into real feelings and allowing the fans to feel his pain.
