Chelsea Green honors Mick Foley with tribute attire

Chelsea Green, the current women's United States champion, made headlines recently with her unique outfit on the March 7 episode of SmackDown. She wore attire inspired by WWE legend Mick Foley’s character, Cactus Jack. While Green successfully defended her title against Mia Yim, her striking homage generated more excitement than the match itself. Green explained her decision to honor Foley at a recent NASCAR press conference. She has admired Foley for over ten years and reached out to him for his blessing. She said, “I texted him, and I said, ‘How would you feel if I dressed as Cactus Jack and came out with a parody shirt like yours from back in the day?’ He loved it and was very supportive.” She also highlighted the significance of her tribute in Philadelphia, a city with deep ties to hardcore wrestling and the famous ECW promotion. Green emphasized, “I think he was the perfect person to kind of do that for.” This gesture not only celebrated Foley's legacy but also helped promote her own, as he shared her photos and shirt on social media. Overall, Green's bold homage has captured the attention of fans and showcased her passion for wrestling by blending nostalgia with her distinctive style.
