- Mick Foley and Conrad discuss his debut as Mankind in the WWF! Topics include being a fan of WWF growing up, Muraco vs. Snuka in the cage, Jim Ross pushing for Mick to come in, Paul Heyman, ECW, why Vince didn't want the Cactus Jack character, Mankind vignettes, George the Rat, working with Undertaker, and much more!
legend , thanks for the childhood memories .. much respect
Who? Mac Mahon? Foley? What’re you talking about?
Conrad makes NASCAR advertising look subtle....
Og Mankind...it doesn't get much better then that.
You're the man, Mick!
McMahon wasn't big on him but its crazy to think his first year in the WWF HBK is the champ but Mankind was the unsung hero putting on those matches with the Undertaker and helping him evolve his character and his short fued with HBK he might have been the MVP of 1996.
Top 4 favorite wrestlers: Mick Foley, Dude Love, Mankind, and Cactus Jack
This is very interesting. I feel like a potential crucial element to the backstory of Mankind using the mandible claw was overlooked. If Mick went into the Mankind character with the idea that he was a pianist who broke his own fingers, that explains the usage of the mandible claw right there. He was a disturbed individual who, for whatever reason, decided he no longer wanted to make beautiful music but instead wanted to hurt people because he hurt so bad. In his delusional mind, he could hurt someone the most by using the part of his body where was most gifted, where the most talent (or magic) resides…his fingers. Knowing this, he broke his own fingers (and more than that, he destroyed his mandible claw fingers so horribly, to the point where he had no feeling in them anymore) for the sole purpose of being able to shove them down someone’s throat and NOT be affected by a bite. It would be like biting a wad of leather. That sounds like something the mankind character would do, damage parts of himself to get an edge on being able to inflict more damage on his opponent.
2:20 somehow I imagine Dude Love in VW Hippie van, and Mankind in a Gremlin
Incredible how much influence Jim Cornette had!
He used Jim's pet rat George
Bud if you want to fix your ear get it done. You will always be the man
Mike Foley
Mick, did you pull out socko and shove the sock in Vince's face?
"nothing is like concete, except concete" -the dude loves
What a legend. Mick sacrificed his body for wrestling.
Can you imagine being this smart, and willing to hurt yourself over and over again for cheering fans?
When he fell through the cage, that was fucking unbelievable.
He then got tacks in his back and a Stone Cold Stunner. Jesus Christ.
Steve Austin didn't kick him first before the stunner! That was a little bit of mercy for a monstrously tough man. Respect.
Mick Foley is unparalleled by all athletes' toughness.
The most hilarious thing has to be Mick saying he doesn't think limos fit his character. Because I saw Cactus and Abdullah the Butcher get out of a Lincoln Town Car at Halloween Havoc. Brian Zane thought that was amusing.
Crazy thing is it was Mick Foley's Mankind winning the World Title that turned the tide of the Monday Night Wars for WWF. Shows Vince was out of touch even then that he didn't see the value of Foley
Lighting in a bottle.
No it wasnt. WWF was well ahead by that point.
@@StuUngar Actually WCW was still trouncing WWF WEEKLY, For the first time in 18 weeks it was the moment the announcers gave away the title change ending, there was a HUGE switch over in viewers from WCW to Raw. You obviously never watched the Monday Night Wars documentary
Kowalski best claw in the business imo
Cactus Jack just lost his ear! BANG! BANG!
I can totally see Vince McMahon calling him Mike.
Corny is a genius
Cane Dewey!!
If I was booking wwe travel I would have had mankind arrive in a new York taxi to every event and appearance he went to just to play into the idea he got the taxi all the way it would have fit the character
Now, triple H is going to be the new Owner of the WWE.
HHH couldn't afford it!he may be running it but The dude is a carpet bagger either way!
Audio was out of sync

Mick needs to get Dr Mike Lano to fix his chompers.
Mick Foley might be my favorite promo guy. His character work and story telling is second to nun. Alway love me some Cactus/ Mankind. That said I'm disappointed you have a tobacco product as a sponsor. That's not cool.
....why?
Foley is another wrestler who had long hair when he was cool.
Now he has a big grey beard and an ordinary or bald hair like HHH and the 123 kid have now.
Do you expect them to have the same hair cut for 30 years? 🤣
@@Shtave3 I don't expect the same look 30 years later but those guys throwing in the towel on looking cool is the point.
@@TheBaitShopGuy define cool
@@Shtave3 it's up to each wrestler to make themselves look cool.
Look at HHH, Foley, 123 when they made it big in wrestling in the 90s.. no grey beards
and
no shaved head/ short ordinary haircut.
IMO they just threw in the towel imo especially with those thick grey beards aging themselves.
A wuhl trimmer set is around $25 and just for men hair dye is 8 a bottle. So it's just neglect and laziness IMO.
They're all 50+ yr old grown men. Think they're past the point of looking cool and at the point of just taking care of themselves after 20-30 years of abuse to their bodies. You're talking about guys who have had over 100 surgeries combined including heart attacks.
His objective seemed less creative, but rather indicting the public as stupid or violence craving...any character flaw he can pin on public....that could be about making himself feel better or he might have emerged as wrast'ls monopoly promotor huncho, due to that bigger money's priority...it's very bizarre, but obviously he didnt need Foley or anybody clips. It's childish to him, like the music industries handling of child pop groups...but the market share and abusing the demographics following the brand is semi entertaining to the honcho. Oh youre so normal? I'll drop Owen Hart from ceiling in diving headbutt and you'll STILL watch..that's his thrill. It's a revenge defining of the audience. When he went off on Costas that was probably the real him. Who the hell goes off on Costas? You gotta be the dregs of gangsters.
What are you on about???????
@@cmsjr2001 Is that a European expression
why is mick called mick when his name is michael...shouldn't it be mike foley...
I can not stand Conrad
