Dude Love was the original Mick Foley persona, created before he became a professional wrestler. He and some college buddies created a film starring Mick as the Dude.

During his WWF appearance (which Foley described as a "dream come true" -- that is, to have his ridiculous college fantasy come true), "The Dude" dressed in ridiculous tie-dye and sunglasses and was a babe magnet. The "set" for his interviews (usually in a corner of the arena) featured lava lamps and brightly coloured inflatable furniture. And of course he always had two women on his arms, swooning over him -- which was all the more entertaining since he is a rather dumpy, unshaven guy with ragged hair and only one-and-a-half ears!
