Mick Foley wasn't the "top guy", but keeping the belt on him for that brief period served it's purpose. It was a huge deal to TNA to sign him and he's arguably the most popular guy in the company, from a mainstream perspective anyways. Him being the World Champion put him over as the top heel in the company, which is no doubt where TNA will keep him for a while even if he isn't wrestling regularly. I doubt he'll win the title again anytime soon, but his title reign will give the fans more reason to be against him should he compete for that title again. Foley is a very hard guy to boo, but somehow, TNA managed to pull it off. And I think most fans knew his title reign wouldn't be long, but just having a brief one was enough to establish him as the type of character they want him to be.

But as for the 3 champions before him, Sting, Joe, and Angle, a strong case could be made for any of those guys being the top star in the company during the times they were champion.
