Wrestler birthday(s): Mick Foley (Cactus Jack) turns 58 years old today. Foley had a Hall of Fame career following his time in ECW and one would argue that he would have never made it to the WWE had he not went through ECW and cut his infamous Anti-Hardcore promos which showed just the mic skills Foley possessed. Foley would appear at the first ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view as a commentator and he would wrestle with Terry Funk against Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman at the second One Night Stand in 2006. Foley's career winded down  in the late 2000's, having his last matches in 2011 and 2012. His last major match was against Ric Flair in a Last Man Standing Match on an episode of TNA Impact!. After that he would wrestle a tag team match at JCW's Legends and Icons show, teaming with his mentor Terry Funk to face Bob Orton and Roddy Piper. Then he would make an appearance at the 2012 Royal Rumble in the Rumble match.
