Bad Guy Wrestler Turns Good for Sierra Leone School Kids

November 24th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Kari Barber and Alpha Koroma report from Makeni, Sierra Leone - Mick Foley (aka Mankind, aka Cactus Jack) used to illicit jeers in wrestling arenas across North America, but recently was met with cheers by school children in the Bombali district of Sierra Leone for donating money to build community schools there.

"It was really nice driving up that children were yelling out my name and they don't know my name because I am a wrestler, they know my name because I am the guy that helped out with the school," Foley said.

Radio Maria reporter Alpha Koroma caught up with Foley and talked to him about the bridge he would like to help build between the United States and Sierra Leone.

    Hi Kari, it’s Mick Foley, the wrestler you met in Sierra Leone. Did you really detect a little mist in my eyes on 11/4?
