This was a great interview, but I have to disagree about one of the guys you said was awful. King Kong Bundy was a great wrestler despite his look. He was a power dude.
@@DayLateGamerWill anyone who doesnt know mick was a once in a lifetime talent deserved to be taken out back and shot. Perhaps he doesn't get as much mainstream respect as others, but the Japanese and die hard fans loved and still love him. Its probably enough for him
He had the vital gift of intelligence, knew how to stay relevant and evolve, hide his weaknesses and accent his unique abilities ( great on the mic and had a high pain threshold). Remember the rumble when he came out three times as his three separate alter egos. Hilarious.
Met Mick Foley at a circus when I was a kid and he ripped off a piece off of the box his kfc popcorn chicken and signed it for me. Wish I still had it.
11:12 "Undertaker committed, not just to his character but to mine". I think it's rare to see a wrestler commit to another wrestlers character, yet it creates magic. These days, they're usually all about themselves and how they can stay on top by burying others.
Hearing Cody Rhodes on he's entrance to he's first-ever Royal Rumble is another example of The Undertaker helping to get others over. He's a shining example of how people in wrestling should be.... and the total and complete opposite to the narcissist that is Hulk Hogan.
I remember that Mankind was first introduced as a serious threat to the Undertaker. At the time, I remember the Undertaker being booked as basically unbeatable. Everyone was afraid of him, and the only way he could be defeated is if he was outnumbered at least three to one. The fact that Mankind not only showed no fear of the Undertaker but could actually beat him already made him look like a star.
Id argue personally that thats always been the case and is somewhat dying, i think undertaker is a huge exception to putting other people over in the eras of hogan and the nWo and triple h
I never got to see Foley live. But one of the rights the WWE came to Hawaii, the one match I remember was Dudley boys vs. Stevie Richards and somebody I can't remember.. But the Dudleys put Richards through the table with a 3D. It looked like a legit hard bump. Everyone cheered the Dudleys win and Stevie got up slowly. And I started closing because he seemed hurt (or just really selling it well) but he deserved the round of applause. Point being, a lot of these guys put their bodies through hell for our entertainment. Foley is the king of self punishment.
Especially kane debut and kane said undertaker helped kane through his career. He was also involved in variety of matches. Montreal screwjob thing also happend during his feud with Bret hart. Taker was a mentor to bigshow when he started off. Taker helped Lesnar in his initial career to become top wrestler by constantly loosing to him. Rock once told taker took clean loss to rock when rock was starting to become big star. Original plan was rock winning by dq. Surprised rock asked underrtaker , undertaker replied ' this is your time kid'. Constantly loosing to stone cold even when stone cold was new , undertaker was already legend when stone cold starting out but unlike others he didn't have any problems loosing to next face of the company. Batista said because of undertaker he can utilise is talent even more and he also had his best match with undertaker. His WrestleMania attraction. Period. He never been face of the company. But he still carried some weight throughout his career even without belt around his weight. So basically he provided another big match type feuds throughout his career. Always helping younger talent. He was used as a test lab for big wrestler who can't wrestle by Vince .haha . By doing this Vince actually took lot of great matches from undertaker. His persona , it's not about the match only it's also about the aura and entertainment value .he excelled in both of that. One constant name for 30 years.
-People's elbow 'the most electrifying move' was invented to break character of taker -The fiend is because of the undertaker character existed -Kane's entrance as he bring down hands and fire comes was idea of taker -Triple H and Stephanie took their relationship to next level because of taker -casket match, buried alive match, fire matches wouldn't have existed without taker
I know it may not seem it, but Mick Foley has got to be one of the GOATS of wrestling. How many other wrestlers have been 3 characters at the same time. His characters Mankind, Dude Love and Cactus Jack often fought 2 full on matches each night
I met Mick at Frank&Sons Show at a meet and greet years ago and he was so nice. My friend came with me and he had forgotten his wallet in the car and subsequently couldn't pay for a ticket. After my friend realized this, he began to leave the line, and then Mick said that he didn't want to leave anyone out, told him to come back, and then signed his stuff and talked to him for free. He's one of the kindest and most intelligent people in the business.
I was still disgusted as to how WCW didn't capitalize on the incident where Cactus Jack's ear got ripped off by Vader and turned it into a huge storyline!!! That is every bookers dream!!! No wonder WCW went out of business..
Yeah but WCW didn't go out of business under Jim Herd back then, so saying this is one of the reasons in went under makes no sense. If this happenend from 1999 to 2001 and they didn't capitalize on an incident like that, you would have a point.
Time Warner didn't want wrestling. And it got worse with the AOL merger with it. Ted loved wrestling and kept it even when it was making no money whatsoever.
Agreed, looking at all the WCW stories, they dug their own grave. Hogan was the nail in that coffin. They let him too much control over creativity that he ran rounds on the company till it was dried up.
Those early mankind promos were dark as hell. When he debuted he used to literally give me the creeps, what with living in the boiler room and choking out Jim Ross, I feel like that part of his career is super underrated
Im watching the attitude era for the first time and just watched the raw where he put the claw on jim and like man, his character work always blows me away. Watching it made me realize foley truly is god
I agree. and if you think about it, the Taker v Mankind feud extended all of the way until 1999, in various ways. They don't make feuds like that anymore. Because even when guys moved on to other programs, the feuds still lingered. and in the mid 90s, not only did the feuds linger, but they all intertwined in one way or another. not sure if it was accidental or on purpose, but it was brilliant.
Met Mick last year at NYCC, kinda gratifying to know that he lived in Huntington, Long Island for a while where a lot of my family is from. Also I have a photo of me holding a barbed wire bat against his head while he screams in pain and I'm roaring into the camera. Great shit.
I could listen to Mick Foley talk forever. Thank god for JR and The Undertaker because Foley isn't just good- he's the best. Seriously though, it's tragic listening to how Vince was back then (listening to what people have to say, taking notes, changing plans to make them better) in light of how he is now (pushing stupid gimmicks, never listening to anyone, interfering in everything to make changes to suit his own preferences). It's hard to believe they're still the same man.
Underrated, even by himself at times, always the consummate professional, Mrs. Foley's baby boy, continues to command my attention w a mic in his hand! Thanks Mick!
Mick Foley is awesome and humble.. I met him a few years back at bowling alley in smithtown ny.. he bowled a game with me and my nephew, and took a selfie with us..
i've met Mick at a Comic Con near my town last year dude was honestly the sweetest guy I have ever met and he shouted out Leon " Vader " White. Mick is an Honest and Gentle Soul!
His hell in a cell match vs Undertaker will never ever be rivalled. It was the only time I almost skipped breathing in a wrestling match and had a huge sigh of relief when it was all over.
Have you heard this story from Bruce Prichard (Brother Love) from a time he and 'Taker were traveling after a show and got lost? ruclips.net/video/wWzgrKVbaaY/видео.html
I Love Mick Foley so much one of my favourites he's just a lovely guy and smart guy probably one of the nicest guys ever to be in the wrestling business total Legend
@Da Sheat oh I get your first point now but in pittsburgh, people say pop. And a very large group of people call faygo pop. Idk how we ended up debating this this heavy but that's all I have to say on the matter my friend.
Not a consistent mankind beat taker twice time one was king of the ring and second was summerslam 96 after summerslam undertaker beat buried alive match and survivor series and 97 in your house undertaker also beat msnkind
And The Undertaker would've never evolved into a more humanlike figure without Mankind. Unquestionably the best and most articulate feud of the deadman's career.
Mankind might be the most in depth/ well thought out character ever. I’m struggling to find another character (of course other than Kane and Taker) with so much backstory, that perfectly gives layers of who he is physically and mentally. Just genius!
I mean, it's easy to ignore, but we know a ton about the biggest stars like Rock, Stone Cold and TripleH. But Hogan, Savage, HBK, Hall and Nash. Sting, Flair, etc. These stories were just very supernatural and kinda too circusy for me.
In 1997 Undertaker helped make Kane a big deal. In 1998 Taker helped make Mankind a big deal. In 1999 Taker helped make Big Show a big deal and Teach him. In 2002 Taker helped Rock a little. In 2002 Take helped make Brock a big deal. In 2005 Taker helped make Randy Orton a bigger deal. In 2006 Taker helped Kurt's WHC title reign seem more serious. In 2007 Taker helped make Batista a bigger deal. In 2008 Taker continued to showcase how good a heel Edge could be. In 2009 and 2010 Taker and Shawn Michaels put on all-time amazing matches and give Mr. Wrestlemania and great send-off. In 2014 Taker gave Brock the ultimate gift and made him the beast he is today. Let's not forget, the streak combined with Taker's great matches between 2001-2013 made Wrestlemania more enticing and even stole the show.
@@giftedlemming9434 Ooo good catch. It was 2002, Taker was heel and had a mini feud with Rock. Rock later won the world title at vengeance 2002 in one of the best ever triple threats. Rock also said Taker gave him good backstage advice from time to time.
Mick loves to talk about his career and the careers of others. Nothing gives him more joy. Ask him a question and he’ll spend a half hour answering you!
I always wondered why Taker wore that mask. It was pretty random, insane that that was the reason why. I actually quite liked that mask, whoever designed it did a great job.
You can tell his relationship with Vince is purely professional because he only refers to him as “Mr. McMahon” and not just in reference to the character.
Im not sure how tru the whole Mutilator thing is bc in Feb 1996 in ECW before the Cactus Jack Vs Chris Jericho match, when Joel Gertner was announcing he said “and from Stanford Connecticut, the most extreme place in all of Mankind” which was a hint to Mick’s WWF name. I don’t think it was coincidence bc when announcing, Gertner emphasized on the word Mankind specifically.
I completely agree with Mick.. Vader needs to be in the hall of fame ASAP. One of the greatest wrestlers of all time.. just because the WWF(and Shawn Michaels) fucked him over in the WWF, doesn't mean that he wasn't one of the greatest ever everywhere else. The most agile big man ever, multiple time champion, etc.
I hope to hear from Foleys mouth what was said before the Vader matches I am certain Foley told him not to hold back and those were brutal matches it seemed like Vader was determined to bust Foleys nose or force bleeding in some way Vader pulled no punches in those matches if the host reads this somebody ask Foley about this I got to hear it I know there is a story there.

idk how someone as legendary as foley is underrated
He has the TESTICULAR FORTITUDE of a champ
Mick Foley is a great story teller. I could listen to him all day
He read Have a Nice Day and added little bits to the book for the audiobook edition. Its up here on RUclips and is worth the listen.
Met Mick Foley at a circus when I was a kid and he ripped off a piece off of the box his kfc popcorn chicken and signed it for me. Wish I still had it.
Did u throw it away?
That’s awesome
Damn that's cool 😲
I lost it 😓
11:12 "Undertaker committed, not just to his character but to mine".
I think it's rare to see a wrestler commit to another wrestlers character, yet it creates magic. These days, they're usually all about themselves and how they can stay on top by burying others.
GetBn Egos destroy NA wrestling
Hearing Cody Rhodes on he's entrance to he's first-ever Royal Rumble is another example of The Undertaker helping to get others over. He's a shining example of how people in wrestling should be.... and the total and complete opposite to the narcissist that is Hulk Hogan.

This man put his body through hell just to put on a show for us. The absolute legend
sam mathews He was king 👑 of Hell in a Cell.
I don't care. So what's your point?
Too bad he didn’t do his mankind gimmick earlier. He might have saved his body a lot of punishment.
Yeah, we need to respect these stars more honestly. Even in a normal match they out their bodies at risk.
I never got to see Foley live. But one of the rights the WWE came to Hawaii, the one match I remember was Dudley boys vs. Stevie Richards and somebody I can't remember.. But the Dudleys put Richards through the table with a 3D. It looked like a legit hard bump. Everyone cheered the Dudleys win and Stevie got up slowly. And I started closing because he seemed hurt (or just really selling it well) but he deserved the round of applause.

I’m starting to realize MANY things wouldn’t have happened without Taker 😂😂😂
Especially kane debut and kane said undertaker helped kane through his career.
He was also involved in variety of matches.
Montreal screwjob thing also happend during his feud with Bret hart.
Taker was a mentor to bigshow when he started off.
Taker helped Lesnar in his initial career to become top wrestler by constantly loosing to him.
Rock once told taker took clean loss to rock when rock was starting to become big star. Original plan was rock winning by dq. Surprised rock asked underrtaker , undertaker replied ' this is your time kid'.
Constantly loosing to stone cold even when stone cold was new , undertaker was already legend when stone cold starting out but unlike others he didn't have any problems loosing to next face of the company.

His WrestleMania attraction. Period.
He never been face of the company. But he still carried some weight throughout his career even without belt around his weight. So basically he provided another big match type feuds throughout his career.
Always helping younger talent.

No chance Mick's body could handle it. But it sounds hilarious on paper.
It would be cool in 1999
Vs Mick
@katie martin that would be fun . who do you like from old wrestling.

@8:00 Mick finally adressed the question and i didnt even realize he hadn't yet. Thats a good storyteller
Mick is so real.. He's got Walmart shoes on man.. Love that he's like us and fame didn't change who he is

Mick was smart enough to draw the line ahead of time. Don't interrupt him while eating or on the toilet and he'll be accommodating.

i definately loved the original mankind style the most
His Vince impression sounds like Triple H lol
Like father like son

It was this and the emergence of Stone Cold that ultimately saved the WWF.

Rock on Mick ! Props 4 the respected comments concerning the Undertaker.
That 1996 rivalry was gold!
"The Mutilator" would never have gotten over the way Mankind did. There's no mystique in a generic bad guy name like that.
It was a very bold move on the part of the WWF bookers (and Vince, of course) to have Mankind consistently beat the Undertaker.
back when they knew how to establish a star without hurting another.
Not a consistent mankind beat taker twice time one was king of the ring and second was summerslam 96 after summerslam undertaker beat buried alive match and survivor series and 97 in your house undertaker also beat msnkind
i always thought id be friends with mick, but after that step brother reference, now i know.
I love you guys and Mick Foley!! You guys are amazing and doing an job!! Hope you never stop making videos
The fact that listening to stories about old wrestling is more entertaining than new wrestling should say a lot
And the toughest guy the business has ever seen
And The Undertaker would've never evolved into a more humanlike figure without Mankind.
Unquestionably the best and most articulate feud of the deadman's career.
Mick Foley is 4 out of my top 5 favorite wrestlers
The undertaker is the greatest wrestler of all time
If you close your eyes Mick's voice sounds like Kevin Smith. He's very entertaining.
Him n the rock were my favorite .loved it when they taged together so funny
Mankind might be the most in depth/ well thought out character ever. I’m struggling to find another character (of course other than Kane and Taker) with so much backstory, that perfectly gives layers of who he is physically and mentally. Just genius!

RUclips: STOP THE ADS.
mick is a fantastic story teller, in and out of the ring
Very interesting enjoyed this video for sure
another one of my all time great wrestlers mick foley he also ran a t,v show robot wars or something damn that shit was cool
The Rock and Sock Connection was awesome.
Never forget his triple royal rumble!
Mabel breaking undertakers face got Mick a job.
Mick loves to talk about his career and the careers of others. Nothing gives him more joy. Ask him a question and he’ll spend a half hour answering you!
Honestly this guy is one of my favourite wrestlers
I would've gave this guy his own weekly cable program back then. He should run wwe. I'd watch it again.
Mick is a fucking Savage my Dad was always obsessed with the undertaker cage match. Mr socko was classic too.
I always wondered why Taker wore that mask. It was pretty random, insane that that was the reason why. I actually quite liked that mask, whoever designed it did a great job.
We can easily call someone a crazy person.
It actually takes enormous balls to be a crazy person, intentionally.
They did have masterpiece matches
Undertaker was a beast that guy probably performed with the most injuries ever on top of that nobody really knew he was injured to years later.
Man one of the greatest to ever do it.
Mick is a real cool chillen guy !
Mick kind of looks like John Goodman here!
I had a really weird dream last night that I was wrestling The Undertaker and Sting.
lol
They had great chemistry
You can tell his relationship with Vince is purely professional because he only refers to him as “Mr. McMahon” and not just in reference to the character.
Mick Foley is an utter legend.
Imagine taking undertaker and Paul bearer order in the drive thru “so that’s two number 1”
Paul bearer “ohhhh yesssss”””
Dude he literally carried the company on his shoulders for years like if it wasn't for him the shit wouldn't be the way it is today
he cant exactly control when the things happen but mick is probably the greatest character actor wrestler ever
Mick Foley was 3 of the top 10 wrestlers of all time
As much as I love Taker, in a way Mankind legitimized his character and gave it a new dimension
Is there somewhere I can see this interview in full, instead of a bunch of clips?
Undertaker is is like the pivotal person in the wrestling timeliness,so to speak.Just my opinion!
Mick Foley is the nicest person of the wrestling buisness.
Im not sure how tru the whole Mutilator thing is bc in Feb 1996 in ECW before the Cactus Jack Vs Chris Jericho match, when Joel Gertner was announcing he said “and from Stanford Connecticut, the most extreme place in all of Mankind” which was a hint to Mick’s WWF name.

the exit music was amazing
It's mostly about character but has athleticism and entertainment too.
Origin: Boiler Room
The Mankind gimmick is one of the best of all time.
My favorite wwe fued of all time
He speaks like a well read educated man. I am surprised.
Diamond Dallas Page "Bro, that's gonna draw..."

Mankind is such a sick name
I completely agree with Mick.. Vader needs to be in the hall of fame ASAP. One of the greatest wrestlers of all time.. just because the WWF(and Shawn Michaels) fucked him over in the WWF, doesn't mean that he wasn't one of the greatest ever everywhere else. The most agile big man ever, multiple time champion, etc.
Love listening to Mick talk, still baffled that he came to our football club because of the Billy Sharp Mandible Claw moment
Imagine if Mic Foley replaced the character that John Goodman played in the 'Big Lewbowski'. magic.
Fractured orbital bone and didnt go home pshh wow. The Phenom !
I hope to hear from Foleys mouth what was said before the Vader matches I am certain Foley told him not to hold back and those were brutal matches it seemed like Vader was determined to bust Foleys nose or force bleeding in some way Vader pulled no punches in those matches if the host reads this somebody ask Foley about this I got to hear it I know there is a story there.
