Mick Foley!
Mick Foley!

Mick Foley isn't your prototypical WWE Superstar, but he was beloved by the masses regardless, and his winning of the WWE Championship is one of the biggest moments in wrestling history.

At this time, RAW was pre-taped, and in an effort to gain the upper hand on WWE, WCW commentators spoiled this at the outset of their show so that no one would tune in, but in fact, the opposite happened.

Wrestling fans worldwide adored Mick Foley for his hard work, sacrifice, and incredible unique characteristics, and they all made the switch to WWE to see this iconic moment, and after this, the WWE never once fell behind WCW again in the ratings.

The moment itself was absolutely deafening inside the arena, and while Mick didn't go on to become one of the best WWE Champions in history, he was an important part of this era for WWE, so rewarding him like this was very well deserved.
