^ I am still going to take you to task. To imply that Mick Foley should have won an Oscar for his performance is to imply that his falls were fake. A movie actor will win an award for letting someone else take the fall (stunt double) or the event happened in front of a Green Screen and it was all digitally enhanced.

No, what Mick Foley did was REAL. Can't fake falling 20 feet onto a table in front of 20,000 screaming witnesses. Can't fake falling on 10K thumbtacks and most of them remain sticking into your body. No, there is NO Oscar for ACTING, those were real! Those falls and the impact is just as real as Wes Welker's snot bubbles when he is blown up going across the middle.

As for playing injured, yes, professional athletes will sit after sustaining an injury. Why? Because they have a guaranteed contract for that year that pays them whether they play or not. So, there is no incentive for them to play hurt.

A professional wrestler does sign a contract guaranteeing them a salary. But what most do not know is that the salary is 100% based on appearance! If a professional wrestler does not make an event, whether injured, transportation, or flat out does not want to go - He does NOT get paid! So why was Mick Foley on Monday Night Raw the next night, to get paid so he could pay his own medical bills!
