Mick Foley is an actor, author, comedian, voice actor, and professional wrestler currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). Throughout his wrestling career, Foley has wrestled both under his real name and under various personas (most notably Cactus Jack, Mankind and Dude Love). He became a three-time WWF Champion as Mankind and has also won the WWF Tag Team Championship eight times, the ECW World Tag Team Championship two times, and the WCW World Tag Team Championship one time. Following his retirement from a full-time wrestling schedule, Foley appeared occasionally with WWE as a special guest referee and, later, a color commentator for the SmackDown brand. Upon his departure from the company in 2008, he signed with TNA and held the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the TNA Legends Championship.
In addition to wrestling, Foley has written eight books including, "Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks", which topped The New York Times bestseller list for several weeks. The follow-up, "Foley Is Good: And the Real World Is Faker than Wrestling", debuted at number one on the New York Times list. Foley's most recent book, The "Hardcore Diaries" also spent time on the New York Times bestseller list.
