8 Totally Weird Inanimate Wrestling Sidekicks

2. Mr. Socko

There are certain things Mick Foley will always be associated with. Hell in a Cell. Barbed wire. Christmas. A sock.

It's truly the dumbest thing in the world. A sock on Mick Foley's hand, "modifying" the mandible claw. And yet, it got over huge. Just reaching into his tights for Mr. Socko popped the crowd. His standoff with a Cobra-adorned Santino Marella is considered a top 10 moment in Santino's career. Not that that means an awful lot, but still.

Mick once removed Mr. Socko from his hand before tapping out, as if to protect Mr. Socko's reputation. Like John Cena, Mr. Socko does not tap.

Hell, Mr. Socko is still making appearances, like in a recent match against Joey Ryan. Sadly, even Mr. Socko was no match for Ryan's junk.
