March 16, 1994: Munich, Germany. In a match against the WCW champ, Big Van Vader, Mick gets his head tied up between the top and middle ring ropes. Accidentally, Mick slipped out of the ropes. The tension in the tightened ring ropes was enough to tear his right ear completely off and badly tear his left ear. Part of the right ear was iced and saved. The left required 12 stitches. He continued the match for two more minutes before the planned ending (he lost by pinfall). Vader punched Foley many times in the side of his head, until his ear just fell off. The referee picked the ear up and gave it to a ring attendant. Foley was in good spirits afterwards with little damage to his hearing and some trouble with his balance. Mick returned to the ring April 17, 1994. Reports were that Foley was planning to take a few months time off to have reconstructive surgery on the ear, but it never happened. To date, he has shown no hearing problems or other ill effects.

On March 16 1994, during a WCW European tour, Foley and Vader had one of the most infamous matches in wrestling history in Munich, Germany. Foley began a hangman, a spot where a wrestler's head is tangled between the top two ring ropes. The spot is usually painful but safe. However, unbeknownst to Foley, a wrestler (2 Cold Scorpio) had earlier complained that the ropes were too loose, resulting in the ring staff tightening the ropes to the maximum. As Foley struggled to pull himself out, he tore his ear off completely. He underwent surgery later that day to reattach the cartilage from the ear to his head, so that a total reconstruction would be possible in the future. Later that year, Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan were scheduled to win the tag team titles at Slamboree 1994. Foley had to choose between reattaching his ear or wrestling in the PPV and winning the titles. Foley chose to wrestle and won his only championship in WCW. [4] Foley has said several times that he was frustrated by WCW's reluctance to work a storyline around losing his ear.
