Best foley quote ever... Its one thing for Ric flair to sit here and you know criticize me as a worker... but I’ll be dammed if I’m going to sit here in this seat and let him bad mouth the good name of BRUTUS THE BARBER BEEFCAKE !!💈 😂
He came my class when I was in 4th grade. My teacher Mrs McFadden knew him. Somebody asked him if wrestling was real and he pulled out his teeth the man had none lol. He was awesome. Shout out Mick Foley for taking the time out his day to visit a 4th grade class I'm 42 now and I appreciate the childhood memory.
These shoots are a dying breed.. So I just want to say THANKS FOR UPLOADING!! I remember always looking forward to finding shoot interviews online.. Especially after someone had been released or something like that.. Thanks again, Foley is cool and not scared to share stories..
The story at 1:56:20 is just one example of the things Cactus has done OUTSIDE of the ring that make him one of the greatest humanitarians to ever work in pro wrestling. There are THOUSANDS of other stories that HE has been a part of, helping others. The man is a legend in and mostly out of the ring. One of the greatest humans to ever lace up the boots.
@@WrestlingWave Yeah its like he was meant to be a fucking Viking or something. He stayed off the drugs, the roids, took the worst bumps ever, and still is coherent.
@@JohnDoe-ym5ly Inadvertently found the secret of the old strong men. Remember "barrel" chested in the old days meant fat/muscular. Probably helped to have some built in cushion to go diving off things.
He's talked about experiencing some CTE symptoms in the last few years, unfortunately. But just being able to walk and talk is amazing in itself considering what his body and brain has been through.
No doubt that tack bump Orton took was the moment I was like ok this guy is someone I can take serious and want to see move forward. Like Mick said, seeing him in just trunks take that bump like a champ, yeah he definitely won people over.
That was such a great angle. I was spiteful about WWF (I was firmly for WCW during the Monday Night Wars) at the time but kept watching, and that drew me in. It’s all full circle because anytime I’ve seen Randy I like him a lot more because of what I have seen since. But oh man I hated him then, even during his face runs.
@@Bryan8329Evertime I hear someone mention Orton as a face I remember him hitting Stacy Keibler with an RKO 😂 when he ended his face run. 12 year old me was SHOOK!
Mick really should have worked with Vince at WM17, I would have had it where Mick destroys Vince for about 3 minutes and is about to put Vince away when William Regal comes in and beats the hell out of Mick with Vince. Eventually Regal gets put away and Vince is left alone with Mick and Mick beats Vince with the mandible claw. Regal was the commissioner after Mick so that makes them have heat and Regal is an excellent wrestler, who won't hurt Mick so you won't have to worry about injuries.
While i respect Flair for all he did in the ring , Foley is right on this matter . I could go on and on about this but Mick sums it up . Foley is WAY more than a glorified stuntman . His promos in ECW and beyond showed that . His work as well . Just because he didnt wrestle like Flair or the like , why should he ? Brody didnt either . If everybody worked the same it we boring as Hell ! Ok . Ill stop .
Same could be said of Flair's generation, it's not like Mick came up with hardcore. Terry Funk was using weapons in some or fashion since his days in Amarillo in the late 60s
Those that have criticisms and want to see an end to wrestling don’t realise just how much it means to some people, especially the kids, it’s so important that wrestling gets left alone by the cancel culture morons that can’t understand or comprehend the concept of wrestling and that the bad guy needs to be a bad guy or order to be a bad guy, they must do things that are considered bad to the audience otherwise they can’t dislike him enough to want to see him get beat by the top baby face. It so difficult and practically impossible to remain relevant in todays society while staying on the Safe side due to so many complainers making waves and damaging share prices.
@@JohnDoe-ym5ly I’m more annoyed by the camera angles they use lol it actually shows the guys helping each other keep balanced when trying high spots, they expose themselves every show, even RAW highlights that appear on utube from the network are very poor. Kevin Dunn has given up
The irony that it's Mick Foley's own left wing side that is the cancel culture now is not lost on me. I lost a lot of respect for him recently since he did his first podcast with Conman Thompson. He out and out admits the reason his wife and kids were at RR 99 was originally for an angle in which he would take 5 chair shots, see his wife and kids crying, and then say I quit because of them. Makes sense I didn't think to wonder why a guy who didn't live in California brought his wife and kids to the show and have them watch like fans from the seats. It just became the storyline in "Beyond the Mat" and was used as a "wrestling is too violent" angle for that film. However because of Mick's lefty friends and Benoit later the match took on this status of poor Mick Foley taking 11 chair shots and being too out of it to tell the Rock to stop. He reveals on "Foley is Pod" in reality, he nixed the 5 chair shots and wife angle because he feared his kids wouldn't cry because they knew it was fake (but they did so what did ex stripper wife tell them this time it was real?). So the 11 chair shots was the plan originally and lefty Foley has allowed the woke IWC smarks to tear that match apart for the past decade sitting quietly saying nothing until now. It comes across like Mick was so afraid someone might take over as the new Hardcore god he just allowed his own style of wrestling to die with him and Terry Funk. Plus it makes the Rock look like a chump. AND he did that to Vader for years as well, making it sound like Foley was severely injured, and that mean old stiff Vader didn't care about Foley and knocked his ear off. Until later you find out they were friends and enjoyed being that stiff with each other because they liked their matches looking brutal. Yet for the longest time Vader and the Rock took liberties according to Foley until a much later he says they didn't? He's was my favorite as a teen but I kinda hate the man.
When he played Mankind he would make all kinds of guttural noises. I specifically remember one back stage fight where Mankind was punching someone, and he was making these savage grunting noises, made it seem he actually was unhinged and trying to hurt the opposition. Little touches like that is what I love about wrestling.
Any thoughts on why Foley did this shoot? He had only been retired from full time for about 5 years so I don't see how he could've been hurting for money. I personally think it was his ego but I'm curious to know what you all think?
He was working some dates for roh at the time and tons of legends were doing these shoots for them like bobby heenan and bruno sammartino, but i feel like his biggest reason for doing one was to speak on the Flair situation.
@@dantegood2195 If I knew I wouldn't be returning to my former employer or if I was a piece of sh*t hack like Foley, then yeah, why not do a shoot interview in a sad little dark motel room. He had made millions up to that point. He hadn't even been retired for 5 years and he's gonna potentially burn all his bridges by doing this shoot for a few thousand bucks? The guy has a god like complex and Flair hurt his ego so I don't believe it was for the money. How many times had he retired and returned to hog up the spotlight? *Edit - I was a bit harsh. Foley isn't a pos hack. I enjoyed a lot of his work over the years. The decisions he makes are just a bit baffling at times.
Lots of love for Mr Foley but unfortunately he’s become a vaccine shill in the past few years all I’ve heard about him is his posts about “get the vaccine” 😢
This was done for Ring of Honor, who Mick later made a bunch of appearances for at this time. This was also a few months after RF got booted for the Perverted Justice scandal from March 2004. ROH had their own shoot interview DVD series which lasted 2 years (2004-2006) with some of the early ones, including this, being hosted by their first booker, Gabe Sapolsky.
mankind couldn't draw flies with a mouth full of shit, he was big blank on the marquee, a squeaking fart of a finish, in fact this guy should of never been broken into the business, he was reckless and he endangered opponents livelihoods, he was a god damn hyperactive nut job, he had no sense about working a match or actually grappling, if their weren't steel chairs or barb wire Mick Foley would be a turd floating in a Indiana toilet

miss wrestling shoots not watching wrestling anymore but miss the old days. the podcasts don't hit the same 😊

For the bumps Mick took, he's still one of the most articulate and intelligent people who ever wrestled and still somehow kept his mind.
It’s pretty remarkable lol
He's built different, for sure.

No way. That pop when Linda stood up was legendary. Mick vs Vince was kinda played out by 2001 anyway.. They had been fighting for years.
Have a nice day.

Mick saying that Val Venis has some weird views has aged like wine.
Yep on a tangent rn
3:11:15 😂
mick no one even watched wcw in 2000
Why did Mankind make those hilarious pig squealing sounds when he would apply the mandable claw 😂
It added to his dark and unstable character.
That is freakin hilarious but I thought it was disturbing as a kid.
Didn't work for me back then. It's Bastion Booger levels of playing up you're fat.
