Mick Foley Interview Recap From On The Record
Posted: Apr 4th 2009 By: CMBurnham
They show a clip of Foley on OTR years ago saying "If Hulk Hogan were to have wrestled me in his career, he would more or less sound like a whiny girl in a porno film saying, 'Not so fast and not so hard.'"
Landsberg asks Foley (also over the phone) what he's wearing. Foley is wearing a denim jacket with Disney characters on the back, along with tie-dye sweat pants that his wife got him on ebay, wrestling shoes and a TNA Lockdown t-shirt. Foley says the way he's dressed is horrible even for him. "Some people follow trends and some people set them, and I do neither - I just wear what's available."
Landsberg calls Bischoff feisty, smart, well-spoken and extremely rightwing. Foley laughs when Landsberg calls him rightwing. Foley says Bischoff is a sharp guy who changed the landscape of the business. He didn't care for Bischoff when he was claiming he wanted to put WWE out of business but once they reunited in WWE they got along really well and considers him a friend.
Landsberg wonders why people are so unwilling to criticize Vince. Landsberg figures it's because that no matter how serious your feud is with Vince you're only one phone call away from making up. Foley says he has always felt open to criticize Vince even when he worked for him. He's working on a new book and is critical of him in there too and says Vince would expect it. Foley doesn't expect to work for McMahon again but you never know.
Landsberg asks what advice he can give the wrestlers that can make their lives better. Foley says you need to be realistic about the business and understand that only a small percentage is lucky enough to earn a living in the business. Even among the guys who did make a good living in the business, only a small percentage did the right thing with the money. Part of the nature of the business is that one day you're in the toy aisle next to Spiderman and 6 months later you're struggling to find work.
With a dumbfounded look on his face, Landsberg asks Foley if the main event at Lockdown is really Mick Foley against Sting. Foley considers it perhaps his biggest match in 10 years. He mentions that wrestling Randy Orton in 2004 and Edge in 2006 may have been as big, but he wasn't expected to lead those shows and hopes to come through big time at this one.
Landsberg asks Foley if he twitters. Foley doesn't, but is proud of himself for learning how to use email.
