Tickets for Mick's post-Summerslam "Tales From Wrestling Past" at the world-famous Hollywood Improv are on sale now, and Foley couldn't be happier. "There's nothing quite like entertaining WWE fans from around the US and the world when they're just returning from one of the biggest shows of the year", said Fo...

Becoming Santa
Mick recently wrote an article for Slate.com, in which he discusses his love for everything Christmas, and his recent transformation into Santa Claus.... Four years ago, I got my first assignment from Slate: writing a review of The Wrestler. I loved the movie, but I was far less enthusiastic about what Spo...

Layfield Report Reviews Foley's "Tales From Wrestling Past"
When you skim over anything Mick Foley does in front of a crowd, it's sometimes hard to see the polish. The slickness. The work or craft behind the effort. His own self deprecating take on his work sometimes bolsters that impression - like there's a lucky randomness to Foley's success. However, anyone who tru...

My Eventful Saturday Night...
My biggest reservation about being inducted into the WWE HOF was that it wouldn't live up to my expectations, and that by the end of the night, or in the days that followed, I'd regret even taking part in the induction. Well, the truth is, the WWE HOF did not live up to my expectations...it exceeded them! ...

Four years ago, I got my first assignment from Slate: writing a review of The Wrestler.

How About That Post Show With Renee Young?!
I really thought I was going to St Louis just to attend the Cardinals game with The Bella twins. Really. When you get a phone call asking if you want to go to a baseball game with Nicole and Bri, and even get to be filmed for their upcoming E show "Total Divas", the answer "no" just doesn't strike me as an option. But I was told that I'd be flying back home on Monday, "just in case" there was something for me at the ...
THIS IS WHAT I DO!
Can I be honest with you? My spoken word shows are good. Call them stand-up, call them one-man shows; I wish I knew what the heck to call them. But I do know they're good. Usually, they're really good. Almost always, people show up having no idea what to expect, and walk away feeling like they've been part of something much better than they were expecting. But to be equally honest, I have done a very poor job prom...

My Eventful Saturday Night...
My biggest reservation about being inducted into the WWE HOF was that it wouldn't live up to my expectations, and that by the end of the night, or in the days that followed, I'd regret even taking part in the induction. Well, the truth is, the WWE HOF did not live up to my expectations...it exceeded them! It was truly one of the best, most fulfilling nights of my career, with family and friends, and a sold-out Gar...
Article: The Next Step For Mankind
Mick was recently featured in a great article on SB Nation. Read an excerpt below and be sure to catch the full article via the link. The first time I saw Mick Foley's comedic genius was just over four years ago. It had nothing to do with a sock, nothing to do with his guest appearance on "30 Rock" or his supporting appearance on "Saturday Night Live." It was just Foley, a microphone, an arena full of wrestling fa...
Thinking Of Reid Flair
Several years ago, I received a phone call from a distraught mother, whose daughter had just passed away after a long illness. I had met the young lady only once, and was at a loss for words - struggling to find any words of wisdom or guidance that might help at such an awful time. I told the grieving woman that I would talk to a friend of mine, who might be able to offer some guidance - a woman I had gotten to know ...
Nigel's Last Stand
I've been meaning to write this for a while. I viewed the documentary, "The Last of McGuiness" a few weeks ago, and it's stuck with me since then. The movie, an in-depth account of Nigel McGuinness's farewell wrestling tour in late 2011 can be tough to watch at times - not because it's bad; to the contrary, it's very good - but because it can be unflinching in depicting Nigel's pain, frustration, and, quite often, bi...
Mick Writes For UK Wrestling Magazine
Mick was recently asked by UK magazine 'Fighting Spirit' to be a guest columnist. Mick was only too happy to oblige, and in this article provides a unique insight comedy in wrestling. Like most wrestlers, I’ve heard the phrase “funny isn’t money” thrown around in response to a performer, a match, or a storyline that was thought to be too humorous to have any drawing power or meaning on a live or televised ...
In Praise Of Buddy Roberts
I've been thinking about writing about Buddy Roberts, since learning of his November 29th passing. It was mid-December when I finally got the word - giving an indication of how much attention his passing received in the mainstream wrestling world. I just didn't know how many modern fans would remember Buddy, or how relevant his career might seem to those who never had the priviledge of seeing Buddy in his prime - ...
