Mankind is one of the most famous gimmicks Mick Foley had. And it's the one with which he ended up making it very far in WWE. Speaking to Talking Tough, Foley revealed that he really hated having to wrestle as him:

"I hated that character because the mask was so ... It really restricted my breathing, you know, with the leather under my nose. I needed as much oxygen as I could suck in anyway. But it came up because Jim Ross was a big supporter of mine, and Mr. McMahon was never interested in me. He thought I didn't look like a star. And finally, my name came up in 1995, in the fall, he slammed it on the table and said, "Okay, I'll bring him in, but I'm covering his face."
