Foley always gave himself a lot of credit, maybe a little more than he deserves, which is a good bit. Listen to him commentate his matches on his dvd. He even says something like test stole spots from him like hitting the ropes with a chair and having it come back and hit himself.
I always thought his diva/melina obsession was creepy and it's a side note and irrelevant, but since others have brought it up, I think his wife looks like a dude in a wig.
His work has gone down hill tremendously, and he does seem to have the "I did what I did already so now I can coast" mentality, that many legends seem to have.

lol at some of yall. Some of the al time greats have crappy pasts, attitudes, real life bs etc. Who cares. Nobody's perfect. Until they do something way off the wall, then I dont see the problem.

But I've always thought that Colette was one of the hottest wrestling wives out there. I mean. Vince even made her one of the Dudettes What made her hotter was the fact that not only was she with him before any of the money. But she's also the one who convinced him to become more of an animal in the ring (Which may very well be the reason he got popular in the first place) She likes his missing teeth and when they met she said "Why do the call you Captain Jack?" proving she wasn't after him for notoriety either.

Eh - I was never a huge fan and every raves about how great he is on the mic, but for me his promos are pretty standard.

Could someone explain about Foley and porn stars and the Divas? Mick is a friend of former pornstar/current indy wrestling manager Trina Michaels, and he's also friends with (and was a big fan of) 80's pornstar Christy Canyon. In his first book, he seemed borderline obsessed with 70's & 80's "MILF" porn star Kay Parker. But I've never heard about him having an affair with any of them. I think he dedicated almost a whole chapter to former Diva Melina in one of his books, and he came off as a bit creepy IMO. But I really don't remember anything specific. Don't forget the thing he has for Tori Amos. He wrote a whole chapter about meeting her. It was quite creepy.

The thing he has for Tori Amos? He likes her music and uses one of his songs to get pumped up. I thought that was an interesting chapter of the book, and I find a lot of his sex obsession interminable.
Also, hearing him talk about his use of that song in his stand-up, it makes a lot more sense. Not least because it ends with Kane telling him 'remind me never to f*** with you.'

Meeting Mick Foley killed Mick Foley for me. I've met him three times, and each time, it was like a chore for him to so much as fake a smile. A brilliant mind for wrestling? Maybe. A good on-camera personality? Definitely. Someone I still enjoy? Never again. Totally over him.

I have to imagine anyone would hate to be in the moralizing role that they put him in.

Can we please send him back overseas? The US has troops all over the world and I think it would be in everyone's best interest to let him visit each and every one.
Promo tonight wouldn't cut it in FCW.

I actually still really like Mick, but the shouting promos don't really work if the does them every time. Does he use these in all walks of life?
Bank Manager: I can't approve the specific loan you're wanting but I can offer an alternative pack- Mick Foley: THIS IS ISN'T ALTERNATIVES! THIS IS ABOUT ME LOOKING AT A MAN WHO'S GOT THE ABILITY TO RISE ABOVE HIS STATION INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT'S SAFE!!! THIS IS WHAT WILL DETERMINE WHETHER YOU CAN LOOK YOUR CHILDREN IN THE EYE AND TELL THEM ON THIS DAY YOU STOOD PROUD AND HIGH! Bank Manager: Uh.... I think I'll get you another representative to talk to.

WOW, ya'll for the most part make me sad. He is a wrestler, it ain't his job to be your PAL outside of the ring. He was a great entertainer, did awesome, crazy, sick spots and again entertained the masses( or dozens) Who cares if he doesn't treat ya like his best friend at a signing. His job is to sign the book and that's really about it, I am sure for the most part he just wasn't having a nice day...ZING! Either way, I like Foley the character. Don't care about the person.
