My earliest memories of wrestling are Cactus Jack in WCW, that company had no clue what was on their hands
Let alone Mic Foley. If you watch the A&E Undertaker Bio its said "WCW had NO imagination" following Ole Anderson saying to Mark Callaway "no one would pay to see him wrestle" There was ALOT of selfishness included in with the no imagination.
I am from germany and i was at a tna event in dortmund i heard mick speak german and i was blown away how good it was. What a legend
German speaking Dude Love... Alex Wright's estranged brother.
WCW missed the boat on so many guys! Keep in mind they had Steve Austin, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Mark Calloway etc etc, they really were clueless when it came to building young stars. On the other hand they were great at taking old established talent like Hulk Hogan and pushing them to the moon and back.
Mick. Drop that joke Conrad
When I finally got to see WCW Worldwide in NY syndication in late 1992, it was Cactus Jack that piqued my interest in the company. He was doing stuff that no one else was at the time and it felt so fresh and innovative that I was sure this guy would be World champion sooner than later.
I was half right- he would become World champion. Where I went wrong was that he didn't win the title in WCW.
WCW was THE GREATEST DEVELOPMENTAL TERRITORY IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS. NCAA and Baseball’s farm system have nothing on the Dubya Cee Dubya.
It really was foolish of WCW not to jump on The Ear 👂 storyline....however, I wonder if Mick would've been the huge star he was had he seen high level success in WCW. It's almost like all those slights needed to happen for us to get Mankind, Dude Love, Mick Foley, and of course Cactus Jack.
WCW didn’t use HHH right either I guess.Mick still trashing Eric Embry for the 12 second loss in a loser leave town but Eric did right & made it look like a fluke win not to bury Mick
HHH was green as hell when he was in WCW. It wasn't until he teamed with HBK that he started to stand out.
I have never thought, "this seems familiar" watching Cactus Jack. Every Ric Flair match is exactly the same.
I think WCW just brought Foley in to feed him to Sting, and couldn't really figure out what to do with him after that. I remember nearly screaming when I saw the first Mankind vignette. I recognized Mick's voice immediately, and I was so excited to see him show up in WWE. Even as a young kid in '91, I saw Mick as a big deal, and he was one of my favorite wrestlers. WCW totally wasted him for years, and then when he came straight into a feud with the Undertaker in WWE, that was one of my favorite times in wrestling. I was so happy for him.
Such an articulate dude....... way better podcast than Nash
Two things : 1. You have Mick talking about how he does promos and can sing German folk songs and you don't have him do it ? Secondly....how awkward is it to have Mick sit there knowing that Flair held him back while being interviewed by his son in law ?
Foley was at his best as Cactus Jack.
Cactus Vader was a great feud that should have lasted longer.
Wcw didn't use Cactus correct.
Ugh...this stuff again? He was a huge liability to the company. He even sued them for his ear.
12:30 "you're giving them way too much credit"
Lmaooo
conrad twisting himself in a pretzel to make flair seem like decent booker
Seeing him versus undertaker was my first expierence with wrestling, was only 5 years old
Flair is a real life heel.
I've always loved Micks dress sense.
He must be the only guy who buys clothes off of wish and wants to wear them 🤣🤣😂
If that shirts official then I'm the pope.
He always wears something with Santa on it.
@@wrestlingwithart man has a Christmas room in his house. An entertainer through and through.
That shirt is banging though. I want one bad.
I still don't know why dusty decided to shave his eyebrows...
Love Mick - he is good at story telling .
Flair..
I'm disappointed that Mick renewed his allegiance with McMahon. I get making money but Mick has so many other avenues to do that without siding with someone like Vince.
SJW.
