Mick Foley - your overall thoughts?

I don't respect him one bit.  So what question would you have that doesn't make me a  "real pro wrestling" fan?  

Just because almost everyone likes him means that I have to?  I don't care for his garbage death matches with Terry Funk in Japan.  Garbage matches like that don't need any talent whatsoever.  
I don't care for his promos.  They are nonsensical.  From his cheap pops, and I don't care that's part of his gimmick, from him basically blowing himself every time he talks about himself.
The HITC match was more garbage.  It takes no talent at all to fall from very high places.  What does that achieve?  It just makes me think he was a moron for doing it.  And I don't care.  The whole going through the roof was planned and no matter what Bruce Prichard wants to say, there was a reason the cage had zip ties and when Taker choke slammed Foley he knew not to step on that piece.
Ooooooh, he can fall onto thumb tacks, ooooooh he can take 12 chair shots to the head, ooooooh, splat on concrete, ooooooh fall through a table that's on fire.   I'm not impressed.
And I just think he's an bunghole.  I was at the Sabu benefit show years ago and Foley was signing autographs and this little girl asked him if he could sign her arm, she had to be around 5 or 6.  Foley just looked at her and said "only if you get 40 bucks from your parents".  And no, that's not a lie or a fabrication, that's what he said.  I mean come on, he couldn't just scribble anything for this little girl?  She was very upset.  And blah blah blah, good day, bad day, whatever.  That right there made me not respect him the most.  And don't give me the whole he doesn't owe anyone anything.  

That's my opinion on the guy, I'm not sorry if it's not the same opinion that others have.  

Always enjoyed Foley. My earliest memories of him are the attacks on Sting with Abby in 1992 WCW. That episode of Clash is a favorite of mine.

I didnt recognise him at first as Mankind but as I've said here recently? his feud with UT was a highlight for me in 1996. It was the only thing I wanted to see in the summer of 96 from the WWF.

loved his slow face turn and the return of Jack in 1997....LOVED heel Dude in 1998 as McMahons stooge and those 2 matches against Austin were white hot. Felt he lost his way a bit after that until Sept of 1998 but from then until his retirement? he could do very little wrong.

also enjoyed Commish Foley and his 2 returns against Orton & Edge. Hated his heel stuff in 06 though. came across as forced and just rubbish.

found it kind of sad that he was reduced to what he never wanted to be during his time with tna, but overall a tremendous talent.

great stuff in wcw, wcw, wwf.

Did your ticker have photo/autograph on it? Was there any way you could have talked to someone managing the show?
I wonder if the ticket taker was a show employee or a Mick friend. Mick probably tries to bleed as much as he can at shows. When he said "no pic?" you should have told him the problem with the ticket taker. I'm sure Mick wouldn't have cared. There was a story a year or two ago of a guy pre paying for Bret Hart to sign a funko and the ticket taker made him pay more at the table. The show manager claimed he had nothing to do with it when the guy posted online.

I had a similar issue with a Larry Csonka appearance at a show. A woman taking the tickets, who may have been a top person in the show's management because she was there for years who was always quite difficult and downright nasty. She took my two tickets (one auto, one inscription) and said "autograph only" to which I told her "I gave you an inscription ticket too." She had him sign an inscription but it really sucks when the person next to them has to be a problem.

I was always a fan.Cactus Jack being my fav ''face''

So many classic feuds during that run...Sting,Vader,Trips,Sabu,Funk etc.

I met Foley in Dublin in 09. He couldn't have been nicer

He did a stand-up style show in Dublin around 2012ish. I know people that went who go to comedy gigs alot & said Foley's show had one of the worst cases of heckling they've ever seen. Foley was new to the one man show game at the time so struggled to handle the situation.

Edit: OSW's review of the night: oswreview.com/foleygig/

Somehow one of the most under appreciated guys in wrestling’s history. Gave the three biggest stars of the Attitude Era in Rock, Austin, and Triple H arguably some of their best matches. Not to mention the work with Undertaker and the Mind Games match with Shawn. And that’s only his WWF run. His work in WCW was innovative and his promo work in ECW is some of the all time best. Was definitely more than a “stunt man.” To this day has one of the best all time first championship wins and perfectly depicted the underdog babyface. Love Foley. Probably personal top 20 all time.
