The Foley Files - Updated 12/19

Posted: Dec 22nd 2009 By: mikeiles

Hello everyone, and welcome to this edition of "The Foley Files". I guess everyone realizes by now that there is more than one Hulk in the world, and I didn't quite end up meeting the one I'd hoped to. Ironically, Lou Ferrigno was a genuine hero to me back in "The Incredible Hulk" heyday. I had been a huge fan of the comic book for years, and to this day have an extensive collection of Hulk comics, some of them rare and worth a decent amount of money. I even have the Wolverine origin issue, even if I was dismayed to find out I had clipped out a Marvel Value stamp - rendering my copy almost useless to avid collectors. Nonetheless, if some dedicated Hulk fan wants to inquire about purchasing the Hardcore Legend's entire collection, I'm sure we could find a deserving organization to donate the money to. Maybe you could send any inquiries to my myspace page myspace.com/officialmickfoley

Speaking of Official Mick Foley - i's come to my attention that there are a couple of fake Mick Foley characters working the Independent circuit. I understand that these things are just part of how the Indies work, but it's still sad to know that people are being bilked out of their hard-earned money by these guys. So if you see a Nick Foley, or a Dick Foley, know that I don't have any cousins, brothers or nephews who wrestle. I think I'm going to start looking a little more closely at these guys and may have to get a lawyer with a little "cease and desist" order for these faux Foleys.

Well, I may have not found the Hulk I was looking for, but I believe it will only add to the excitement when the other Hulk - Hulk Hogan does show up. It kind of looks like battle lines are starting to be drawn, and it's going to be interesting to see what side of these lines different TNA wrestlers fall on...or what type of new faces Hogan brings with him when he does arrive. Just remember, I've got it on tape with Nash saying he'll quit if Knobbs shows up. Let's see whether or not Kevin is a man of his word when/if that glorious moment should arrive.

It certainly looks like Abyss is fired up for our big match this Sunday. As you can tell, I've had so much on my mind that I haven't been as committed to this match as I should be. So, I'd better figure out how to get in that zone quickly or end up being the guy who doesn't hold up his end of the bargain. I certainly don't want to come home for the holidays in stitches or gauze, but I'd rather be a little worse for the wear than embarrassed that I didn't give my best.

I will be taking a week off from The Foley Files, before coming back strong for the new year. As promised, I will be offering sneak peaks and excerpts from my upcoming book, "Countdown to Lockdown", which I hope you will enjoy when it arrives in September 2010. I am proud to announce that I will be donating 100% of the proceeds from my advance royalties to charitable causes I am involved with - a third of which has arrived and has already been donated. So I don't know whether the world will line up to buy a fourth volume of my memoirs, but I do know the book will help out a lot of people.

Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays, whichever you prefer) to all...and to all a good night.
