Zitat des Tages von Mick Foley:
I haven't worn jewelry since one of the front teeth I had made into an earring became no longer necessary because I lost the ear.
In 1999, I had my back against the wall, and WWE had a ghostwriter working on an autobiography for me. He was halfway through, and it was awful, just boring. I took over as a way of trying to fix things, as I thought I could probably do a better job.
I wanted to be a baseball player, but I became fascinated with wrestling as a teenager.
I always felt like the wrestling business was better off with two viable mainstream promotions.
As great a spectacle as WrestleMania is, there's something to be said for seeing a guy you like telling stories from the heart from 20 feet away.
I cannot look back and say I did everything I wanted to do in TNA.
I think doing The Improv is a little more ominous than doing a college campus because it was so different than anything I'd done.
You want the match to be like a roller coaster, so you can't predict it.
Edge goes out every night, and not just on pay per views; every night, Edge goes out there with the intention of stealing the show. I know that he felt like his title run had not been given the respect from the company that it deserved, and he was really hell-bent on proving that he belonged as a main event guy.
Without knocking Impact Wrestling, your contribution was largely limited to what you could do in the TV show. WWE is a bigger company with a bigger infrastructure and a lot more ways to make a contribution.
Bray Wyatt is one of the most captivating characters to come down the pike in ages.
I'm not a dabbler.
There are guys who thrive completely on the action in the ring and see the promotion as a necessary evil, whereas I think it's so much easier to tell people what a tough guy you are, as opposed to backing it up.
It's much easier to see my son involved in creative than to see my daughter in the ring. But they've both worked really hard. I'm really proud of both of them.
Sooner or later, The Rock's going to get tired of that empty space on his mantle where an Oscar should be, and that's when I'll get the phone call for the buddy movie that finally makes his career.
I can still remember the first time I heard Tori Amos. It was the fall of 1993, and I was in the back of a colossal '79 Lincoln Coupe Mark V, embarking on some otherwise forgettable road trip somewhere in the Deep South.
I really enjoy Sarah Silverman's fearlessness.
I would leave my wife for Whataburger.
I saw James Ellsworth at an independent wrestling show where I was signing autographs, so I took a photo with him and put up a post on Facebook called 'The night I met James Ellsworth.' Just by nature of how popular that post was, how many comments there were and likes and shares, I was like, 'people love this kid.'
I'm glad I had a chance to see great music played up close and live. In a way, that's what I hope my show does. It's almost like an acoustic evening with Mick Foley.
I remember the first time I smelled B.O. was at a cross-country meet. But it wasn't unpleasant, in a strange way. That's what you got when you worked hard.
Back in 2004, Vince McMahon basically told me to consider WWE to be my playground, and that I could come and play any time I wanted to.
The truth is, pro wrestling is such an incredibly vast, incredibly surreal world. There's no telling how many words could be written about the subject - especially when the subject involves WWE.
I was given a chance to try announcing, and it was a job that, in the end, I did not care for very much.
Mother Nature and Father Time have not been happy with me.
I love, for example, 'Full Frontal with Sam Bee.' I just love her show.
I look back on my career and my time as commissioner with great fondness.
You have to believe in yourself. But you know what? There's a fine line between believing in yourself and being delusional. And I'm sure there were a lot of people who thought I was being delusional when they saw me attempting to become a big shot in the world of pro wrestling. Luckily, it worked out: it doesn't work out for that many people.
Probably better than anybody, I realized that I could have easily been one of those guys who was not seen as being a WWE-type guy.
I developed an interest in the history of the Negro leagues to the point where I visited the museum in Kansas City, Mo., twice and made the museum an integral part of my unheralded 2005 coming-of-age baseball novel, 'Scooter.'
You can't satisfy everybody. If you do, you're probably doing something wrong.
By the time I got to WWE, I had a lot more confidence and willingness to speak up.
I think what limited my role when I was WWE commissioner in 2000 was my reluctance to get back in the ring every now and then.
President-elect Trump wasn't my choice, but I'm going to be like Dave Chappelle, and I'm going to give him a chance - but I think there are people out there with legitimate worries.
I did like Test, and he was a guy I kept in touch with for years after we stopped working together.
When Dee Snider and I get together for breakfast, it's just two Long Island guys hanging out.
