I've never been able to prove this but I've long suspected Juan Cena was more closely related to John Cena than was hinted at

It's absolutely wild how similar Mankind looks to Cactus Jack
- Thread starter Stalker
- Start date
Not really a WWE fan, but I did bandwagon fan it during the exciting eras with Austin/Rock etc.
Man I'll never forget that elimination match where Foley entered as ALL of his personas. One by one they got eliminated, but then here comes another, lol. I haven't laughed that hard in YEARS man. It still makes me laugh thinking about it.

I'm surprised Mankind didn't try to sue that filthy deathmatch wrestler Catus Jack for gimmick infringement.
Ever notice how Mick Foley, Dude Love, Cactus Jack, and Mankind have not shared a physical space outside of a titantron promo? Really makes you think, huh?
When Mankind debut, I was so mad. I was a huge fan of Catcus Jack and he was going to be a shell of himself. I was a mark.
Now that you mention it, they both bear a striking resemblance to Rick Deckard.
He was in WWE for a while. Rumor is Dude Love was the one who got him hired.
Mick Foley seems to be such a good dude, I feel bad that he absolutely destroyed his body to entertain us
I can't find it, but I remember a promo where HHH was in the ring and Mankind was yelling at him from the Titantron, and THEN Cactus Jack ALSO comes out on the Titantron to fuck with Hunter then Dude Love ALSO appears on screen for three Foleys at once, and the camera cuts back to Hunter who is just losing his goddamn mind and he can't understand what's happening. Funniest shit I've ever seen
I was gonna say "bullshit," but i checked and yeah, Cactus Jack totally was with the WWE for at least one night.
Not sure what "alter ego" means but those dudes must've been close.

Yeah I think it's just another word for "Best Friends" like they are so in tune with each other.
Say what you will about the New Generation, but it had good booking and great long term story telling.sure was, had some classic five-star matches with the likes of Kwang, Aldo Montoya and Duke The Dumpster Droese. Man the New Generation just had it all.
Edge and Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin are twins separated at birth or doppelgangers.
...but that's nonsense. They are the same person. Wes Scantlin wrestled in the WWE as his day job. Was a successful rock star by night. More successful than that other pro wrestler/rock star Chris Jericho.

In this light, this isn't actually Robert Redford, it's a time traveling Zach Galifianakis change my view

Let's will this into existence. The skies the limit
I thought it was a real shame when Mankind turned on Jack to align himself with HHH. Then again, I suppose Cactus DID try to impersonate him before that, so I suppose that annoyed him. Great promo by Cactus though...
Mankind turns into Cactus Jack: SmackDown, January 13, 2000
Mankind turns into Cactus Jack during an interview segment with Triple H.
Mideon's impersonation of Foley as Mankind was pretty great, guy was always the superior Godwin.
I was confused as fuck when Cactus Jack came out to Wrestle HHH at the Royal Rumble, had no idea who he was. I was still new to WWF and didn't understand why Mankind taking off his mask made him into a different character!
The only storyline I remember having long term storytelling is the Bret v Owen saga. Started at SummerSlam 93 with Bret v Jerry Lawlor which lead to Lawlor and his knights versus the Hart family at the Survivor Series, Owen is the only Hart member to be eliminated after bumping into Bret while running into the ropes.
Bret and Owen form a tag team after working out their differences over Xmas, and face the Quebecers at the Royal Rumble for the tag team championship. An injured Bret tries to apply the sharpshooter but fails due to an in match leg injury instead of tagging Owen and the ref stops the match as Bret is deemed unfit to continue, Owen kicks Bret's leg out of his leg after the match. Bret goes on to co-win the Rumble later that night with our Lexable Friend Lex Luger.
Bret faces Owen in the opening match of Wrestlemania X, Owen wins the match but Bret wins the WWF Championship later that night against Yokozuna.
Bret faces Owen at SummerSlam 94 for the championship inside of a steal cage…
Razor vs HBK
Undertaker vs Yokozuna
Lex Luger vs Yokozuna
Diesel vs HBK
123 Kid vs Razor
Just to name a few, all ran months without running the feud into the ground like they do today.
Holy shit I can never unsee this note. As disrespectful to Paul Bearer as it is.
Also Mick Foley is a gem. Everything I see from him suggests he's one of the most kind people to ever work for WWF/E.
