The Ultimate Wrestler Tournament
ROUND ONE: Mick Foley (4) vs. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper (5)
Two big time talkers, two guys who helped define vastly different eras. Mick Foley and Roddy Piper. Who ya got?
Mick Foley was not the greatest wrestler, he didn't have amazing physique and when you'd look at him, you'd never think "star." But all of this made Foley that much more appealing, and he managed to become one of the biggest stars of the late 90s WWF. Whether he was appearing as Mankind, Cactus Jack, Dude Love or himself, Foley was willing to do anything (and I mean anything) in the ring to make sure that the fans came away feeling like they got their money's worth.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
*WWF Championship (x3)
*WWF Hardcore Championship (x1)
*WWF Tag Team Championship (x8)
*ECW World Tag Team Championship (x2)
*WCW World Tag Team Championship (x1)
*WWE Hall of Fame (Class of 2013)
NOTABLE MATCH
NOTABLE SEGMENT
One of the best talkers in the history of the business, Roddy Piper is legendary for his Piper's Pit segments and for his influential role in just how important promo skills are to professional wrestling. Of course, that's not to take anything away from his in-ring skills. He played the foil to Hulk Hogan throughout the 80s and became one of the business's most reviled heels. He may just be the greatest to never win the WWE title.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
*WWF Intercontinental Championship (x1)
*World Tag Team Championship (x1)
*WWE Hall of Fame (Class of 2005)
