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

I w a

It’s pretty remarkable lol

He's built different, for sure.

@@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.

He did the same for HHH too.

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!

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.

They can't do the angles they did before anymore. The only hope is keeping kayfabe on social media.

@@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.

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

It's more than a feeling

Nah i wont be

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.

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.

its from 2005

Go look up "Foley is Pod" he looks horrible now he somehow lost more teeth.

Timestamp?

@@brandtsavoy6123 I think he said "right wing" and "Vince".

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.

@@WrestlingWave Fair enough, that sounds about right. Thanks for uploading the video. I just subscribed to your channel.

You would turn down thousands of dollars just to sit around for a few hours and answer questions about your career?

@@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.

Yeah he does.

Why?

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” 😢

I dont believe rf had anything to do with these

Ring of honor did this. Rf wasn’t with ring of honor at that time.

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
