Mick Foley was one of my favorite wrestlers and I guess because even though he truthfully had subpar skills in reality, he was so entertaining as hell.
As Cactus Jack he was the hardcore icon who put himself in insane risks and had classic matches vs Funk, Sting, Vader, WING Kamemura, the New Age Outlaws, and Triple H. Also this was his original gimmick and in my personal opinion the best. Also the best Foley promos were done when he was Cactus Jack.
Than there was Mankind the masked man with a troubled soul. I loved this gimmick as well. The orginal Mankind was the best where he would stab himself to feel pain and the total psychoticness of the gimmick was cool. Though it just didn't have the force of Cactus but still had some classics and he actually got over as a monster which was easier to do as mankind since he had to follow the WWE's safe style which would have watered down the Cactus gimmick.
Dude Love. This gimmick was fun for awhile but couldn't be susatined for how goofy it was. Every now and than it was nice to see Dude Love since it was basically the Polar opposite of Cactus. But too much of it would have been grating.
Next is the Comish. Again like Dude Love it was cool for awhile to see him as an authority figure and the best parts was with him and E&C that was great. But still not the best in my opinion.
Anyway what does everything feel the best Foley gimmick was?

This guy is my favourite wrestlers of all times, and apart from that just simply one of my heroes as a writer and a father. I couldn't pick one of these. As far as the matches I've seen, I think Cactucs wins. But the Commish was in power during the heyday of my wrestling fandom, and was just so funny the whole time.

Foley is probably one of my favorites of all time and one of the few "celebrities" I consider a personal hero. I gotta go with Cactus Jack, because his promos as Catcus (especially in ECW) were just amazing. Mankind comes in a VERY close second, because he also had awesome promos and the gimmick worked both as a monster heel and a relatable underdog. I like Dude Love, but only in small doses. I imagine Mick likes Commisioner Foley the best since he rarely had to take any bumps with that "face."

I must admit, Mankind is the one who made the biggest impact. Sure Cactus Jack was around through WCW and ECW and Japan, but who was the one that destroyed the undertaker in 96? Who was the one that won the world heavyweight title? Who was the one that put our asses in the seats (screw you schiavone)? Who was thrown off the cell and through the cage? Mankind! Cactus jack only took a dumpster fall like 7 feet. Dude Love showed us that Steve Austin does have a heart, but yes it was Mankind that made the biggest impact.

Gotta go with Cactus, it's the least 'gimmicky' of the three. Foley is one of my all time favorites though, I really love pretty much all of the characters he's done.

Cactus is my favorite, because I started following him when he was in the old USWA and Global territories, and he was always a favorite of mine.
I also have a soft spot for Dude Love, not sure why though.
