We\u2019d recommend this one no matter what, because Mick Foley<\/a> is one of the most compelling characters the sport of professional wrestling has ever seen.<\/p>\n

From his blood-soaked high-wire days as Cactus Jack to becoming a near-household name as Mankind during WWE\u2019s most popular 1990s\/2000s Attitude era, Foley enthralled and entertained throughout a decades-long career.<\/p>\n

Foley is also a talented author and memoirist with a quick mind and stories to spare, all of which make this \u201c40 Years of Foley\u201d engagement at Side Splitters Tampa<\/a> a win. But making it a more topical pick, Foley\u2014a longtime face for WWE\u2014recently broke all ties with the company for \u201ccoddling\u201d Donald Trump in the wake of Trump\u2019s attacks on Rob Reiner. It\u2019s a bold and honorable move in a business where folks often take the money and keep their mouths shut.<\/p>\n

True to the signs fans used to bring to shows, Foley is god.<\/p>\n

Tickets to see Mick Foley at Side Splitters\u2019 Carrollwood location in Tampa on Wednesday, Jan. 7 are still available and start at $45.<\/a><\/p>\n
