Vince McMahon's 20 Biggest Real-Life Feuds

16. Mick Foley

Mick Foley's struggle with Vince McMahon began before even entering the World Wrestling Federation in 1996. For years, Foley was trying to get a job with Titan Sports and even had Jim Ross trying to persuade McMahon from the inside as the head of talent relations. Eventually, Vince begrudgingly hired Foley and gave him the Mankind gimmick which included hiding Foley's face behind a mask. Eventually, Foley gained Vince's respect due to the Long Islander's willingness to sacrifice his body for Vince's company, but they would have their creative differences and Foley left the company in late 2001. Foley would make numerous returns, even attempting a gig as a SmackDown commentator, but McMahon's brash practices of berating the television announcers lead to Foley leaving the company again. Mick eventually took a job in rival promotion TNA for a few years, but ultimately returned to WWE and entered the Hall Of Fame in 2013. Foley and Vince have always been able to resolve their differences, but new differences seem to pop-up every so often. Foley is often critical of WWE and can be quite outspoken when the product is poor. While Foley is simply frustrated as a fan, the criticisms don't always sit well with the company officials, including Vince. These two men seem destined to have a roller coaster relationship for the rest of their lives.
