Michael Francis "Mick" Foley, Sr. (born June 7, 1965) is an American semi-retired professional wrestler, author, comedian, actor, voice actor and former color commentator. He has worked for many wrestling promotions, including IWE, WCW, XCW and TNA. He is often referred to as "The Hardcore Legend", a nickname he shares with Terry Funk. He is currently signed to a Legends contract with IWE, where he makes special guest appearances and serves as an ambassador.

Throughout his wrestling career, Foley has wrestled both under his real name and under various personas (most notably Dude Love, Cactus Jack and Mankind) also known as the Three Faces of Foley. He is a four-time World Champion (three WWF Championships, and one TNA World Heavyweight Championship). He is an 11-time Tag Team Champion (eight IWF Tag Team Titles, two XCW World Tag Team Titles, and one WCW World Tag Team Championship). He was also the first IWF Hardcore Champion, and held the TNA Legends (now Television) Championship once. Following his retirement from wrestling full-time, Foley appeared occasionally with IWE as a special guest referee and later as a color commentator for the SmackDown brand. Upon his departure from IWE in 2008, he signed with TNA, where he was a storyline stock holder of the company. All totaled, Foley has won 17 championships between WCW, XCW, IWF/E, and TNA.

In addition to wrestling, Foley is a multiple-time New York Times bestselling autobiographer. He was also a subject of the documentary Beyond the Mat, which followed him at the peak of his career. More recently, he appeared in Bloodstained Memoirs, another wrestling documentary.
