MICK FOLEY: A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE PEOPLE'S COLUMN - 3.01.00 Well, if the stipulation is actually followed (for once!), Mick Foley has wrestled for the last time. While guys like Hogan can't usually be trusted when they are in retirement matches (hasn't he had something like eight of them?), I have full reason to believe Mick Foley when he says he will retire. The guy knows when to go out before he hurts himself any more than he has. He's said he wants more family time. Besides, he's gotta be getting close to having one too many chairshots to the head. Thanks for a great career Mick, and I have a feeling you'll still be around in some capacity.... maybe commissioner? Now watch him win the WWF Title in the main event of WrestleMania 2000. Anyway, here's a look back at Mick Foley's career through PPV results, titles, and awards.
