Mick Foley is one of the most beloved figures in all of pro wrestling. His combination of wrestling legend status and 'common man' origins make him very approachable and yet possessed of a certain mystique. After all, this is the man who survived to go through the Hell in a Cell roof--twice.

One thing that most people don't give Mick Foley much credit for is technical wrestling--for good reason. Foley is a brawler, first and foremost, but he does have a few nifty moves up his plaid sleeves.

One of those moves is the Cactus Clothesline. What makes it so special? Well, for one thing, Mick hits his opponent with it so hard they both end up falling out of the ring!

Foley is more known for taking damage than dishing it out, so it's good that he has a move like the Cactus Clothesline in his repertoire. Here's Cactus Jack clotheslining Ron Simmons (Farooq) right over the top rope.
