Mick Foley:
-Lost an ear
-Lost teeth
-Got thrown off the top of Hell in Cell
-Had a forever feud with the Undertaker
-Lost main events to HBK, Austin, and Taker
All before finally winning the WWE title. He was CEMENTED as a beloved figure and legend by all fans because of it.
The list of opponents Kota Ibushi has told me he wants to fight, team up, or work with again:
Kenny Omega
Hangman Page
Young Bucks
Will Ospreay
Roman Reigns
Shinsuke Nakamura
Finn Balor
Takeshita
Sami Zayn
AJ Styles
One day, wrestling fans will learn how good we had it years from now. There's so much good shit out there, and people are arguing over ticket sales like they work for these companies.
