BANG BANG - Mick Foley hat es am vergangenen Sonntag bei TNA LockDown 2009 tatsächlich geschafft Sting zu besiegen und ist somit im späten Herbst seiner Wrestling-Karriere noch einmal World Heavyweight Champion einer großen Promotion geworden. Fast 10 Jahre nach seinem letzten Gewinn des WWE Title konnte er sich als Cactus Jack nun also auch das große Gold von TNA Wrestling sichern. Foley ist damit nach Kurt Angle, Sting und Samoa Joe erst der vierte Wrestler, der den 2006 aus der Taufe gehobenen TNA World Heavyweight Title sein eigen nennen darf. In seiner illustren Karriere war es sein ingesamt vierter World Title Gewinn, womit er nun in unseren ewigen Rankings mit großen Namen wie Shawn Michaels und Batista gleichgezogen hat.
