Both are very worthy contenders to have such an image. On the one hand when you talk wrestling as a whole this is arguably the moment anyone thinks of, even in light of so many other matches and events. On the other hand however much it might marginalize Foley's amazing career this match made him, career. And damn near broke him physically.

How to resolve? Let me throw my hat into the ring and suggest his first title win.

That'll put the butts in the seats.

Over to you guys for ideas.

I'll need to fix the title. Next time you make a thread in TRS or IP, just put the page title (with its namespace if applicable) in the title field. No need for anything extra; the drop-down selection will insert itself as so.

As for your suggestion, not bad at all. [tup]

I think it's more suitable for his own page. For him, it shows an accomplishment. For wrestling as a whole, it shows one of many winners, which is kind of meaningless when someone has to win unless the entire competition is scrapped.

Absolutely, Mick's first title win, especially if you take into account the details surrounding it (he never was slated to win the big one before, no one thought he was good enough, WCW caught wind of it and insulted him leading to half a million fans changing the channel to see him win, a huge personal victory for Foley) making this, if we were to use this image, it's got to be for Foley rather than wrestling as a whole.

Using him also for wrestling as a whole, with the toss off the cell, even in today's landscape this is very much a "wow" moment. Back then, let me try and put this in perspective. This was like Brock defeating the streak. This was Angel turning into Angelus. This was Aerith's death. This was the Forrest Griffin/Stephen Bonner fight. This was...it was the event back then and still is today, if someone can think of something that equals it we'd love to know about it.

I'd say put the shot of Mick with the belt on his page and use the falling shot for the general Awesome page, unless someone's got a good scene from a wrestler that doesn't have their own page, in which case the falling pic should be on Mick's page.

A good pic of someone who doesn't have their own page? Hmm, short of a unknown diva diving out of the ring onto Trish to prevent a count out, that might be difficult. Most every wrestler worth their salt have their own page whether it be...um, Paige and being duel champion, Lita and getting her own DVD which is almost unheard of or Manami Toyota vs Kyoko Inoue, or if you prefer Jim Cornette and his verbal beatdown of Phil Mushnick, Miz saying he doesn't belong here or Undertaker's...anything. Point is someone who does not have their own awesome moments page, that's hard. Even harder than picking something that would top the throw off the cell.

Been two weeks. Just go for it, should we get some more examples, get a crowner, how do we want to go about it?

I've gone ahead and put the suggested pic of Mick with the title belt on Awesome.Mick Foley and tagged the page. Locking up.
