Crossbody of Work Episode 139: Mick Foley Part One – Cactus Jack

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

It is time for one of our most unique three-part series yet. We’re covering the career of Mick Foley by going through his three faces one at a time. This week it is Cactus Jack, Foley’s oldest and most hardcore gimmick. We’ve got matches against Triple H, Mikey Whipwreck, Eddie Gilbert, and more. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about: 

• Dynamite in Boston
