Mick Foley recently made a bizarre request to Vince McMahon
During the Attitude Era, Mick Foley was one of the most important stars in WWF and played a vital role in the Monday Night Wars.
The former WWF Champion rose to prominence with his various gimmicks, including his Mankind and Cactus Jack monikers.
On a recent episode of Foley is Pod, the WWE Hall of Famer made a bizarre request to Vince McMahon. He claimed that when he dies, he is likely to get cremated. He made a request on what he would like to do with his ashes during a WrestleMania show:
“I believe I’m going to be cremated when the time comes,” Foley said. “We’ll see if Vince would let [my family] drop the ashes in the ring before the main event of WrestleMania. Wouldn’t that be great?”

During his time as an active in-ring competitor, Foley competed in some of the most gruesome matches of all time. He won the WWF Championship thrice and is also a former multi-time tag team champion.
He served as the General Manager of Monday Night RAW from July 2016 to March 2017 before being let go of his duties. The Hall of Famer has made sporadic appearances for the company since.
