Mick Foley

From nowhere though, it became a triple threat match with Mankind of all people not only entering but becoming the champion.

And then yes, 24 hours later on Raw, Triple H challenged Foley to a singles match to win that belt.

And everybody kind of went, "Well why the flub didn't we just do this at the pay-per-view?" It also went totally nuts because Hunter didn't even last a month as the champion.

He did get a lot done in that time, including defending the title against The Rock on the very first episode of SmackDown.

But yes, 22 days after this, he lost it to, we just talked about it, Vince McMahon.

Soon after this as well, there were so many rumors that Steve Austin had said Triple H ain't ready man, which is why we did sub Mick Foley in.

But to just do everything with Vince McMahon as well, again, go back and watch Triple H in 1999.

We should just have put the rocket behind him and sent him off to the moon.

Ugh.

Mick Foley has the power to communicate with dogs.

Wow, wow, wow.

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

Can you let me know, uh, uh, you, you know, were you a fan when you were a, uh, a littlehausen? Um, you know, when did you get bit by the wrestling bug and knew that this was your path?

So, I get bit by the wrestling bug, uh, there is a famous scene with Terry Funk, AKA Chainsaw Charlie, and Cactus Jack throwing the New Age Outlaws...

Ah, flip-flop that.

New Age Outlaws-

Mm

... throwing Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack off of the ramp, the entry ramp ra- with, uh, at a dumpster, and they showed it over and over and over and over and over again until it burned into my brain.

[laughs]

And then we'd watch periodically, and eventually I watched Bad Blood 1997 with Shawn Michaels versus The Undertaker, and Kane made his debut.

Just in general.

Fucking look at Foley.

He turns like fucking Batman at Batman Begins.

He turns his whole fucking body.

We hear from AEW talent talking about Rebel as she talks about not showing symptoms until late 2024, but not even being diagnosed until early 2026, which is why it's important to have research to discover why this is happening.

Rebel advocates and picks up the torch as she is so honored that her AEW family and herself are going to make a difference.

Mick Foley says that Rebel is bringing people together as footage of a bunch of AEW talent doing the Ice Bucket Challenge is shown over the past few months.

Rebel says that they are so close to a cure and new medicine and they're almost there.

So I get beat by the wrestling bug.

There is a famous scene with Terry Funk, a.k.a. Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack throwing the New Age Outlaws.

Ah, flip flop that.

New Age Outlaws throwing Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack off of the ramp.

the entry ramp with a dumpster.

And they showed it over and over and over and over and over again until it burned into my brain.

It was when he started the new Nexus.

started

Jesse, we've both met him.

Mick Foley is a great soul.

He is.

But he's not talking sense right now.

So now we go to a highlight of the evening, a Randy Orton's political ad.

Mick Foley, a hardcore legend.

and then shows clips of Foley being a dork, followed by Orton covered in blood, and then we're told that Randy Orton is the new hardcore legend for a new generation.

What did you think of our quick political ad here, Mark, that was brought to us by the friends and family of

Triple H's master plan is all Evolution main event at Mania.

Orton, just like Mania 6, world title versus Intercontinental title.

The man who retired Mick Foley, the new hardcore legend.

Tonight, he's going to make Evolution proud by being number 30.

And my friend, I don't mean to go off on a tangent here, but one of my favorite phrases is, how can I miss you if you won't go away? They don't understand as talents, they need to be recycled.

Mick Foley was great with that.

He'd smell when he wasn't getting the right push or used right.

He would leave and he would sacrifice short-term income for long-term prosperity.

And back in the day when WCW was still in business, there were 70-some people who were earning a full-time living in the business.

And they were a pool of talent that eventually Vince could pull from when he needed.

And I could cite Mick Foley.

I could cite The Undertaker.

It was...

This one was one of these, and the ones that you hear, like the guys that are in it, it's a thingy, it's a street fight, it is, it's the Legion of Doom, the road warriors, it's the nasty boys who, not only did they have one with Kevin Sullivan and Cactus Jack, they had one with Cactus Jack and Max Payne, they had them with the Public Enemy, they had them with Harlem Heat, I mean this was right up their alley.

Not a street fight, but they had the match with Great American Bash 92 with the Steiner Brothers where the four of them just beat seven shades of shit out of each other.

I don't know how.
