Working prep at a resturaunt. This podcast is able to keep my attention and keep me entertained all during my shift to where i am legit disappointed when its over. Thank you guys for the great entertainment!
There is no wrong answer between Mick Foley and Sting but if I had to pick Mick Foley would be my pick because I have seen him do things no human being should do and could actually wrestle and tell a story💯
Mick Foley, I was not a Fan when I was younger but the Socko gimmick was awesome and In when you are older you realize what a Genuinely great person Mick is in real life.
As to whether Sting would have benefited from going to WWF for a bit in the late '80s, don't forget who was still on top in WWF at that time: Hogan. There's no way they would've allowed Sting to get over to that extent as long as Hogan was still around. It was different in WCW in the mid-1990s when Hogan came in or in the 2000s in TNA because Sting was #1 babyface with those two promotions.
I kind of agree on the Sting and them saying he hasn't worked in 10 years, but on the other hand, come on it's wrestling! Andre was booked as "Never lost in 15 years" or never been bodyslammed when people were doing it all the time. Just because we have more information doesn't mean it should change, at least not everything imo.
As for the Luger wheelchair/HOF thing, Mad Dog Vachon was on stage in his wheelchair & had Pat Patterson speak for him cause his health wasn't the best. The speech wasn't well received & we never had anyone on stage not in good health ever again.
Can Luger really not even walk? Wow, that's a crazy thought. I know he was hosting that men's retreat with Nikita at one point, was he wheeling around there? I don't think that would've happened. But i have heard these reports of him in a wheelchair. I missed the A&E Biography... I'm out of the loop here lol Genuinely curious if he can walk
Had to pause the video and go read the Lex article. I started watching WCW in 95, and I remembered Lex as being a big star, but I always thought his work was kinda sloppy. I always thought of his friendship with Sting as one of the main reasons he was as popular as he was. After watching "Reliving the WAR" for months now, I've yet to see otherwise. He had a lot of good matches, but he had a lot of sketchy situations too. Not denying his earlier career was what it was, but later on its kind of a toss up for me. I think he woulda been much better in the upper mid card as opposed to the main event circle.
I'll have to point this out again. Mick, you're looking at Vince McMahon's decisions in the best way you can but I genuinely believe, Lex Luger, is not shown NOT because Vince wants people to be away from real problems but because Vince wants WWE NOT to be associated with what could happen to wrestlers long term. It's NOT a selfless act but a selfish act to protect his PRODUCT. I'm just looking over decision after decision made and it always comes down to what protects Vince and his WWE product or promotes it. It's about perception. It's a selfish mindset and I think it's a mistake to pretend it's being done for purely selfless reasons.
I hope Conrad or Foley see this. a great idea i've seen on another channel would be to put time stamps on the screen for the matches or spots Peacock/WWE Network/youtube that is discussed. ❤💯👈 Love the Podcast!
Sadly, Conrad never got back to the match with Sting at TNA Lockdown 2009 like Foley wanted to discuss 😞 I wanted to finally hear his take on that match after all these years, as I saw it live in attendance. Maybe some other time 🤷🏻♂️
Very interesting match. This was during a period when I barely watched wrestling, but I would go out of my way to watch Foley's matches during his TNA run. I actually dug the Lockdown match a bit. How did you enjoy the match live?
@@axlbomber It was far better live than it was watching it back on TV, definitely a match where the live experience of the time and match can impact (no pun intended) it’s quality opposed to just seeing it on TV. Still a good match, iconic no doubt. Always wished they could’ve gone at it earlier in their careers at this point, but I’m glad they did the match regardless 👏🏻
"MY NAME IS CACTUS JACK, AND ID RATHER HURT A MAN THAN LOVE A WOMAN 🙂". My vote for Micks best early promo.
Foley is Pod, is one of my favorite forms of entertainment, it's something I look forward to every week. Thank you
At his heart, Mick's a storyteller; that's what makes this show such a weekly joy
The iconic Sting

Weekly listener. Listen to the pod every Saturday while at the gym. Love what Mick and Conrad bring to the podcast.
Surfer Sting was already big. Once he became crow Sting he became an icon.
I love Mick. Such a badass.

If you read this, Mick, I am incredibly grateful that you make the eight hour drive just for us!
Foley is a beauty
I LOVE the artwork for this episode.
Sting was very committed with WCW..
55:30 Incorrect. JR referred to Cactus as Mr Bang Bang during the WWF debut match against HHH
Mick's face when he told the Sid vs Pillman squeegee incident was just like a kid getting a piece of candy. Master storyteller.
I would be shocked if Sting doesn't end up doing a podcast with Conrad eventually.
Sting vs cactus jack really riviarly wcw 😊
Awesome show
Gavin says : lord have mercy on you Sting cause Cactus never did!!
Bruno did that at the Garden.
“Doggone it, Gorilla, I’m all blown up.”
Absolutely hysterical.
I'm driving a big, brown truck delivering packages and right after Cactus let that belch out, I smelled road kill in the ditch as I passed. 🤣🤣🤣
Dude… Zoas are my new favorite energy drink. That shit slaps
long term memory = long term potentiation
Mick is so humble. STING has always been my favorite wrestler but Mick is a very close 2nd the more I learn about him then Stone Cold a close 3rd
Mick Crow-ley
Mr. Bang-Bang is the greatest entrance music of all time
Mick Foley, I was not a Fan when I was younger but the Socko gimmick was awesome and In when you are older you realize what a Genuinely great person Mick is in real life.
Sweet Marmalade

uhhh was bill alphonso the guy selling extra caddy's? I know he was a handler for El Gigante
"I'm blown up and I need a break"
Far out - Sting was born almost a year to the day before me.
9:10
👊
No offense, Mick. But "Man Called Sting" rocks way harder than "Mr. Bang Bang".
Hardcore Legend wins
I kind of agree on the Sting and them saying he hasn't worked in 10 years, but on the other hand, come on it's wrestling!

i love mick foley but if there's one thing mick foley loves its putting himself over
Love CT nd Foley legend ov the game without a shadow ov a doubt ✌🏻❗️🆗
Ov? Stay in school kids.
Mr. Bang Bang sounds like Frank Zappa sings it. It's better than Man Called STAAAAAANG!
Some of us knew him as Cactus Jack even though he was better known as Mr. Bang Bang
I hope Conrad or Foley see this. a great idea i've seen on another channel would be to put time stamps on the screen for the matches or spots Peacock/WWE Network/youtube that is discussed. ❤💯👈 Love the Podcast!
that would mean conman...i mean conrad would have to work on the podcast instead of just trying to jam more ads into it, so it wont happen.
i've seen them do it on other podcasts. i imagine they make more in advertising if they don't put in the time stamps
Thinking about the wheelchair topic, has Magnum TA been inducted event though he was never in WWE.
Sadly, Conrad never got back to the match with Sting at TNA Lockdown 2009 like Foley wanted to discuss 😞 I wanted to finally hear his take on that match after all these years, as I saw it live in attendance. Maybe some other time 🤷🏻♂️
Good catch. That's a big miss considering the episode haha
I think Conrad said they are going to do that as a whole episode next month. I think that is why it wasn't talked about
Whole episode on it next month is what Conrad said.
Very interesting match. This was during a period when I barely watched wrestling, but I would go out of my way to watch Foley's matches during his TNA run. I actually dug the Lockdown match a bit. How did you enjoy the match live?

We gotta get a gwf episode
Mick should had been in volant night Christmas movie 2022
I love how these celebrities get ssssooooooo tired from going to "cons" like Beverly D'Angelo good gawd they would die if they had a real job lmao
Did he say that him and sting were the only wrestlers at Vaders funeral? Thats a shame.
Of course Lex belongs in the HOF!
Shit..
There hasn't been a wrestling fan in the last 30 years that doesn't know who Lex is. 💪
Mick needs to market catheters.
Say what you want about Luger, but at least he was able to keep earning money by playing Niles on Frasier.
One day, i hope to meet you. I’ll then tell you the story of watching this on 🍄
Mick is the male Dylan Mulvaney
Woooooo
Personally both sting and luger going to wwe was kinda a disappointment.
How?
Mick should go to Mexico it's lot cheaper to get your teeth fixed
Dwayne johnson cant act. Batista can. that's the big difference between those two.
you prolly just need better quality entertainment, svu is like the trashbin
