WWE legend Mick Foley has picked Jon Moxley as his male MVP of pro wrestling.

Foley was crucial to the success of the Stamford-based promotion during the Attitude Era in the early 1990s and late 2000s. He has also been actively involved in the wrestling industry as the company's ambassador after his in-ring retirement in 2012.

Foley got into an online feud with the-then Dean Ambrose the same year after Ambrose dragged Mick Foley's children into the fold because of a misunderstanding.

On a recent episode of Foley is Pod podcast, the Hardcore Legend named Ambrose, now known as Jon Moxley, as his male MVP of pro wrestling. He pointed to the current AEW World Champion's versatility as a remarkable strength.

"I would say Moxley is my MVP at this point in the year. Just for what his presence on TV has meant. Coming back from rehabilitation and willing to go anywhere and work any style. That reminds me of the Harley Races, the traveling champion of old. I would put Moxley up there as my male MVP," Foley said. [h/t Wrestling Inc]

Mick Foley also named his female MVP of pro-wrestling

In the same podcast, the Harcore Legend voted former RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch as his female MVP of pro wrestling.

Despite The Man currently being injured, he hailed her consistency in delivering top-notch segments weekly.

"Becky Lynch at this point is my female MVP. She's not going to probably return before the end of the year, I don't know. Even if she doesn't return before the end of the year, I think what she did on a weekly basis was just so impressive that she gets my nod. Not just because she's a good friend and cites me as an inspiration, just because she did amazing stuff," Foley said. [h/t Wrestling Inc]

Lynch is currently suffering from a shoulder injury which could see her not wrestle for the rest of the year. She picked it up during her match against Bianca Belar at SummerSlam.

The Sportskeeda community wishes Becky a speedy and full recovery.
