The way Mick talks about Terry was very moving. We all have those people in our lives who we think will always be there, so when time does finally catch up with them, it can be a shock. All we can do is cherish them while they're still with us
Dark Mankind is what made me a huge fan of Mick. 2 different themes for the entrance and exit, mentally unstable, the promos, hair pulling, the mask, disregard for his own body. It was something I have never seen and it is still the most interesting character I've ever known.
I remember having the first Mankind figure. My buddies never understood, and funny enough I am not into death match wrestling. But his matches were like legends, especially if you couldn't order ppvs, and only read the magazines.
I wrote a college essay on Mick. Dude is legendary in all aspects. The ultimate underdog who worked his ass off to live his dream and never forgot where he came. The only pro wrestler I'd like to meet and just chop it up with. I remember being almost 9 years old the night he finally won the title. I ran around my living room like he did the ring I was so excited for him😂😂😂😂😂
One of the questions on here about Vader,for this wrestlemania he was out between no way out and unforgiven after being written off by a wrench attack post match by kane, I think this was so he could have time off for a legitimate injury (altho I could be wrong on that part)
When I was a child I was born In 89 tge first thing I remember was the Sunday morning show with highlights and Michael Cole and Foley and taker In the hell in the cell. And I became addicted to watching wrestling two of my school pictures one shirt was undertaker and one was mankind shirt with stuff a sock in it lol those years I was the only one with writing on em. Anyways right. Why does mick always close his eyes that way like a super heavy wink.
I think Conrad makes a fair point about WM being bigger than the Superbowl world-wide, at least speaking from an Australian perspective. The NFL is super niche over here and mainly enjoyed by gamblers and sports fanatics. More people know about wrestling either from the attitude era or if they’re a little older the Aussie WCW ran by Jim Barnett in the 70’s/80s
For any US readers, the main reason the NFL is not as big a deal here is we have Australian Rules and Rugby League (AFL & NRL) that basically fill the same demographic of “football fans”. Rugby league would be the closest to NFL game wise but AFL is the bigger sport in teams of fanbase
@@MattSingh1 yeah I've noticed. Well, hopefully they continue to broadcast "live" each and every week so you can continue to proclaim your excitement each and every week.
Mania was a big event by 98 but nowhere near what it would become. The other events like Summerslam were very close to being at the same level in the late 90's
If you can, ask Mick if he knows the Story of what Vader Wanted to do with The Undertaker? If you don’t know what I am talking about, Vader wanted to do a moonsault onto Taker while Taker was standing. Vader wanted Taker to catch him in the air and do the Tombstone Pile Driver. JBL convinced Vader to call that spot in the Ring and see what he would have done.
I’ve always felt that Corporate Dude Love wasn’t ACTUALLY Dude Love. I’ve always figured it was a hurt, angry Cactus Jack out for vengeance against the fans by ruining the “lighter” Dude personality.
Aw Mick, you dont have to preface the Civil War pics with Owen as not being "PC" cuz you were wearing Southern colors. Anybody who gets offended that you were wearing confederate garb should probly change their tampon.

Dark Mankind is the best Mankind

@@robertnolden1641 I just met him at wrestlecon. A class act.
I don't miss any of these from Jolly Ol' Mick. Sometimes I watch more than once. Keep up these great episodes guys!
American Badass vs Cactus Jack at mania would have been a nice twist on a classic.
Mick foley and conrad thompson great show awesome show
This is the BEST damn WWE podcast there ever was. If you smelllllllllllllllll what foleys unlaundered T-shirt is cooking!
I love Mick Foley, an absolute Legend! But the chewing in my ear of those almonds was killing me lol

Great episode but I'm not gonna lie, it was also pretty entertaining watching Mick punish that bag of almonds!!!😆
Road Dog wasn't wearing a Job Squad shirt in Early 98. Al Snow didn't show back up til May or June.
i was in target the other day. ring my bell was playing in the store. my daughter asked me why i was singing "mr in your house"
Looks like it's VADER TIME next week 🖖💪🦣

I am deeply sorry to hear of the passing of Arn's oldest son, Barrett. 😢
Praying for Arn and his family
*It's so awesome that this podcast is live each and every week.*
is there something wrong with you?
@@jeffmorrison6866 *How so? I'm just totally stoked that this podcast is live each and every week?*

Girl, we're down to one pop a month
Good morning FOLEY!!!
Is this episode 42 cause I'm pretty sure whoever is in charge of the uploads screwed up the numbering of previous episodes.

Yo Mick Foley it's funny how you mentioned Knoebels Grove years ago you shook my dad's hand one of the workers that drove you around in the golf cart
I'm pretty sure that's the period of time where Vader was sent to the same place the company sent Yokozuna to so he could lose weight
"Do you think you could have gotten a good match out of a blowup doll?"
-cuts to a blue chew ad.

Even Mark Henry would have struggled with that! Taker back would have to REST .... IN .... PEACE! if they tried that spot lol

Biggest week of the wrestling calendar is here. Get ready for big breaking news at any time.
The thumbnail made you look like Peter Dinklage on a bad hair day.
I legitimately thought it was Dinklage at first and wondered what connection he could possibly have had to WM14 until I realised who it actually was.
I've been to Knoebels, so I know what Mick means.
Equalhousinglender WOOOOH
The Boardwalk in Santa Cruz still has the rings, and we throw them at a clowns mouth
u rock
Get Mick a bowl so we don't have to listen to him digging in a bag please.
😂
It’s not just Mick but anyone eating that is mic’d up just skeeves me out. It just sounds disgusting.
Aw Mick, you dont have to preface the Civil War pics with Owen as not being "PC" cuz you were wearing Southern colors. Anybody who gets offended that you were wearing confederate garb should probly change their tampon.
This show has fell off the last month on so. I hope it gets good again
Everything Conrad does falls off eventually. Used to be a fan of something to wrestle with years ago and now its dog shit
I miss half the show by trying to skip 43569874 ads!
Mick i m italian fan Number One!!!
