Foley is Pod

As someone with Tourette’s (and quite sensitive about it), I found your story towards the start of this episode soooo heartwarming. Thank you for handling that so well.

Very cool for me as a long time fan, my bday is June 28th, Mick. In 1998 I turned 21 I remember the cell

[@darrickcato9499]

I love that someone finally asked about his in ring screaming and whatnot. I also used to imitate it as a teen, as well as Hulk's noises and Harley Race's noises. Flair and I think Terry Funk also did it a little. It does add to the story of the match.

[@zacmedress7263]

I believe that would be “ah jah”, “hoof” and “j’aww”, respectively 😂

[@imalright1752]

Met Foley at Mons Venus gentleman’s club while working security here in Tampa and he was beyond respectful to the girls not flirting or making anyone uncomfortable. He ate a prime rib, drank a Diet Coke and left a $20 tip. Seemed like a great guy off the brief interaction I had with him

[@garethjones2210]

Wait...Mick was good friends with Rick Rude? Need some more stories on that.... please.

[@SeaBeast902]

Very nice to hear Mick speak kindly of the Maritimes. Just another reason to love Mick

[@rothang]

I was there that night and I was in the garden for cactus and in the building for many other matches this memory stands up and I was personally so happy you got to sail off the top of that cage

[@davepeezy7525]

First time I ever saw Cactus Jack was against Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorf in the match he references (@56 mins) and he took that suplex on the guard rail and it blew my 10 year old mind. I became a Cactus Jack fan that day and here we are 30 years later.

[@mattm7798]

Right. Mick was just taking horrific bumps no one else in a major promotion would take. It seems obvious now but it's almost surprising to hear how much those really hurt him because they sold it so well that he had such a high tolerance for pain.

Great stories from Mick Foley……..

[@ivenstorm]

I was at the St. John's show, and have sporadic memories of that match. Sadly, WWE hasn't had a house show in literally 15 years. It's so infuriating to me to know that they run dozens of matches in the same locations, yet they can't even be bothered to even host a single house show in Newfoundland, despite us having a massive arena. How much is on them, how much is on our province for jacking up the cost of airfare, I don't know. But someone in power should mention it to them, or even AEW, as it would be a welcome change for once.

[@kipster3802]

Has nothing to do with our province or airfare. Back in the day canada was a big part of their business. Nowadays they're much more worldwide going after big dollars, not to mention they run a lot less shows than they used to. The production of a house show these days is gigantic compared to what you saw. Wwf left a ring at the old stadium for 10 years used the light from the labatt light scoreboard and all they had to do was set it up once they flew folks in. Now even a house show has its own lighting rig, barricades, ring, huge entrance stage and multiple camera men on the ground. Not in a million years is that worth trying to bring here on an island for an arena with 6000 capacity.

[@ivenstorm]

@@kipster3802 Doesn't have anything to do with our airfare? might want to double check that one. Because last I checked I can get a trip from Texas to Toronto for less than half the cost of a trip from New Brunswick to Newfoundland. Hell, I'll give you one. A couple years ago I was travelling from St. John's to St. Anthony. It was going to cost me 1200 dollars. I could reduce that cost to 800 by flying to Nova Scotia, then to Quebec, wait 9 full hours, and then fly to St. Anthony. The airfare has always been a problem within the province and it needs to be dealt with at some point. That price wasn't nearly as bad back in the 90s even with inflation. They still run just as many house shows, every week. They just keep it to the mainland. And by the way, Legends of Wrestling used to hold events in the province all the time. We don't need the fancy equipment, I think most of us would just settle for having the wrestlers show up and perform. And they have filled stadiums with just as low if not lower capacity. Even if a stadium states it has a 7k capacity, WWE chances are fills it up with nearly double that amount. And you know they would charge enough to make money.

[@kipster3802]

@@ivenstorm no, it doesn't. All the equipment would have to come here on a ferry. They charter flights with the crew in and around the maritimes.

Money is not what's important in life though no offense but that's why guys like Nash bring it up because they'll never be remember for anything else. Was never nearly half the talent in ring as Ospreay is.

Did he actually give an answer to if he rather have six star match or six figures? Paraphrasing. I was really wanting his answer

[@ElvishPrinceling]

So Mick's right; pow wow should not be used in this context Pow wows are actual spiritual and cultural meetings, which were made illegal in the USA and Canada for decades. Indigenous people were not allowed, by law, to practice their own ceremonies, dances, sacred practices, as thst was since as a 'threat' to Christian religion. It's not cute name for a squad meetup or huddle, it's something that real people had and have to fight to be allowed to do. However if you have the chance to attend a pow wow, do! Make sure it is open to all (most are) and make sure you know how to behave respectfully in that sacred space 🧡 Remember that we are being granted the privilege of joining the celebrations, we are not entitled to be there

[@psynque]

It's really crazy how Conrad would ask a former professional wrestler "would you rather be a critical or a financial success", as if there's this body of wrestling critics out there. There's just The Observer and nobody should give two fucks about what Meltzer thinks about anything in 2022.

[@ssssssstssssssss]

I didn't realize that, but it kinda sucks. I think for wrestling to be taken seriously as an artform/theater it needs a good number of critics. Not just one goofball.

[@psynque]

@@ssssssstssssssss I guess, I just kinda think that the "age of the critic" is in the past. Nobody really bases their consumer choices on the opinions of the critics anymore because you can catch a feel about a movie, album or whatever so much easier before watching it. With wrestling it's even more difficult since it's live entertainment and to add to my original point I think the only "critics" the wrestlers should care about are the other boys in the back watching the match. When it comes to Dave, he really is just a goofball as you said. I respect him as a historian to a degree but any good will he had as a journalist or a critic is long gone. It's just farcical at this point when some fuck has had more 5* matches in a month than Bret Hart had in his entire career.

[@captainxhulio2929]

@@psynque Meltzer sucks ass. He went from being a reliable, sensible guy that I mostly agreed with to being a spoiled little snob. I think it happened after he went to Japan. After he saw All Japan Women's wrestling he became unbearable. He refused to acknowledge the different styles in regions and the ACTUAL feelings of the fans. This is also the same guy that said the Iron man match between Michaels and Hart was boring. And by this point in 2022 Meltzer has exposed himself as an idiot. He was such a snob and so selective about everything in the 90s it's laughable that now he thinks Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks are the best. Twenty super kicks and six stars later and Meltzer is a joke.

Theirs nothing wrong with performing at small venues Mick performed at Side Splitters in Knoxville Tennessee which may hold 100 people he did a double booking at that location that day and sold out both shows since Mick does a meet and greet after his shows he was able to sell lot's of merchandise Mick offers a great deal for his shows which include I believe around a 90 minute show and the opportunity to meet Mick while getting the opportunity to meet him get a picture with him and his autograph all that for purchasing a ticket and then of course Mick has merchandise that you can buy during the meet and greet needless to say Mick gives the fans s bang for their buck I just hope that Mick leaves plenty of material for his shows now that he's got a podcast
