Mick Wins The TNA Title Foley Is Pod

[@OrcintheBasement]

I’m one of the people who absolutely loved micks tna run especially this heel run The tweak and tweet connection was so much fun. Them in the spin cycle was pure comedy

[@George-kz5hb]

Usually only listen on my podcast app, but wanted to come here and prove Mr. Foley wrong. I have been waiting FOREVER for this episode!

[@mattandersonmusic]

Got my baggy Cactus t shirt and wearing it in UK all summer! Thanks for the stories Mick

[@AWrestlingHistorian]

Countdown To Lockdown was a good book!

[@PierzStyx]

While I think his TNA run largely breaks even, I will always stand by his last match with Ric Flair. I never thought I would see that kind of match involving the two of them, especially after Ric's comments showing he doesn't like hardcore matches. And he gave Mick the rub on the way out, too! It is a very good hardcore match and its historical nature elevates it to a great match.

Mick Foley! I have a Mick Foley toy figure collection! I am Mexican-American. YOU ARE GOD to me! I was one of the only Mexican-American Kid, my best friend was the only African-American in my school. WE both followed your career from the Cactus Jack in wcw, ecw, wwf, wwe, and then tna. I remember I cheered so hard when you appeared on the daily show with jon stewart protecting that kid! My first name is Jack, I am a teacher in san antonio, my kid's took the STAAR US History test on tuesday. I had them chanting, "WE ARE CACTUS (enter their name) ! AND WE ARE BACK!!!!!!!"

Our Mascot is the Cowboys!!!! I played the Cactus Jack Theme through my speakers through my classroom.

Being part of the 2% female audience, I support the use of Lane Bryant. Even better, as I'm watching this, one of the ads that popped up was Lane Bryant. The best

[@chico1680]

I remember Mick using that "what you call hell, i call home " line going into his HIAC match with Taker

[@dakliq420]

I liked Mick’s run with Sting in TNA. They got to dig into the past and make it new,not to mention I felt the cage match is a highly underrated match.

[@TheTopTurnchuckle]

I really hope part of Mick Foley’s tombstone reads “25 stitcheroonies”

[@J.R.and.ButcherPete]

Greatest podcast ever. Between the buffalo bill impression and dance and the Lane Bryant reveal!

[@Marquez544]

Mick is always eating or drinking on his pod 😂 I hope miss Foley is feeding our hardcore legend! 🤣

[@andyr.3503]

Nah Cactus Sack is crazy💀 whole ep had me dying in my office at work. Great shit as always

[@nolankuffner3573]

That last bit was particularly hilarious 😂 Dr. Tuck and Cactus Sack DO NOT need to become his new characters though 🤣

[@briancavanaugh7604]

Thank you Gentlemen!

[@ML-E]

Women listen to this pod too! We grew up watching Mick and love listening to your pod. ❤ you Mick!

[@joebunce3873]

Anyone find footage of Dwight Howard almost getting T'd up for marking out? Sounds must see footage to me

[@joebunce3873]

Foley is Pod, only came across it (3 weeks or so, and all caught up. Will now be waiting each week eagerly for the next. Caught this one nice and early, just wondering, is this time (like an hour ago) the weekly release time? Thanks in advance. Sending apprection to all from Australia. Thanks Conrad and Foley (and others involved) for these, has to be the best podcasts I've ever encountered.

[@silverbullet9442]

Yes this is the weekly release time more or less

Not me, I have followed you since I was a young kid dropping my elbow off the couch onto my Warrior Wrestling Buddy! I got to meet you during your college speaking tour about when your second book was in paperback and a fan made you pumpkin cookies and you were scheduled for 30 minutes for autographs but you stayed there for hours in Northern Michigan until every single person met you! You said it was the first time you felt like you were coming out to a big match in a speaking event. We had signs and everything. I waited for 10 hours to save my front row seat.

[@schizzo8959]

Conrad Thompson doesn't get it, that tv back then was vastly differnet to what it is now. The days where TNA pulled better ratings, than AEW are not comparable with things like streaming and a whole different internet presence . Tv as a whole had a huge drop off, with very minor exceptions and measuring ratings as they where back then is not the smartest thing to do.

[@LokiTricksterG]

You are 100% correct and I kept thinking the same thing while they were having that discussion. Back in the day, episodes of Frasier and Friends would get 25 million viewers a week, but no show gets that amount these days. It's not because TV shows are less popular, it's because the method for watching them has changed.

[@PierzStyx]

@@LokiTricksterG They canceled WCW when it was still averaging 2.5 a week, a high enough rating that it would still be in the top 100 shows today, which is pretty high considering how many shows are on TV.

[@johnnyreyes86]

I need that button up shirt Mick is wearing!

[@nolankuffner3573]

I'm pretty sure WWE had stuff like that for sale (with NWO and a few others) on their online shop.

[@flamethrowerflufsalisbury]

Im Native American. We like you as well, Mr Foley.

[@Rschr101]

Fascinating

[@jasonharm2981]

If this guy doesn’t know about Layne Bryant then he didn’t even read Mick’s first book!

[@nolankuffner3573]

Real talk: Even when I wasn't into the stories, the only AEW shows I've ever purchased were the ones with Punk on them. I bought ALL OF THEM. Tattooed, not in my 20s, and unapologetic about it. The story by Grillo is my story. I'm not jacked, in decent shape, get compliments, but I've never wanted to be jacked. Some guys, I respect them and their reality and their hustle, but yeah. Watching Punk in the ring is like I'm on that journey with him. Forget the other shit that happened, that was after the fact. In the moment, it was the only story in wrestling. I never buy wrestling or UFC shows without that connection. WWE, I think, did the Network because people buy subscriptions. But they won't buy a show if that connection isn't there. Which might be WWE admitting that those 'superstars' don't actually connect to the audience. On the side, the only other book about TNA I'd read would be the chapter in Flair's autobiography.

[@mrwednesdaynight]

When it comes to Countdown to Lockdown, i remember the Tori Amos stuff and not much else.

'Cause they happen at least once in EVERY SINGLE ONE of his title defenses...Christ, if he needs that crutch that often, it ain't a damn crutch - it's a prosthetic leg!

In the year 2045 Mick Foley 80 years old telling wrestling war stories to disenfranchised youth. BANG BANG! He shouts 2065 Mick is still at it on his rocking chair at 100 years old telling the same stories to a new group of youth. SOCK-O!!! he shouts The year 3098 A.I. robots of Mick folly and Undertaker reenact the hell in a cell match live in front of fans Have a nice day! The A.I. robot 🤖 shouts as he is falling from the top of the cage.

I'm pretty sure the person who made the comment is an actual Colored person. That term doesn't mean the same thing in the United States that it does in South Africa and other parts of the world. Here it's derogatory, there it's how they actually classify themselves.

On PPVs, i watch UFC all the time and never pay for a ppv, cause its the biggest waste ever. Get a businuess model that allows it on tv or espn+. Then u would have more veiwers and attract more advertisers. Ppvs in modern Era is unbelievably dumb it just takes advantage of the consumer.
