GOODBYE MOM
It is with a heavy heart I share the news of my mother’s passing, following a long battle with dementia. My mother was an intensely private person – so much so that I pleaded with WWE not to show her in the crowd at a 1997 MSG show – and I have struggled in trying to decide whether I should make her passing public. Her […]
MICK’S TOP 25 CHRISTMAS SONGS
As one of those year-round, Christmas music enthusiasts, I have often thought of compiling a list of my favorite Christmas songs – a follow up of sorts to a top 10 list from my 2001 book, “Foley is Good.” I kept putting it off, knowing that compiling a thorough list would take time and energy. But here it finally is – a combination of beloved […]

REMEMBERING SABU
In 2004, I felt like I had let myself down at WrestleMania — my first match in four years — by playing things too safe. I had said a prayer on my way to the ring that night, a prayer that actually read, “please God, don’t let me suck out there tonight!”. Not exactly shooting for the stars… In a way, my prayer was answered, […]
DISNEY REUNION: A TALE OF KINDNESS
My time as a guest at the Nashville celebrity con was just about up. It was a slow Sunday, and it seemed like all the wrestling fans who had wanted to meet me were already gone. I was in the beginning stages of packing up when I saw a striking woman with husband and adult child making their way to my table. “You will never […]
A WRESTLER’S QUEST FOR A CUSTOM VEST: HOW A WWE CHAMP FOUND A HERO IN LIZ KITLEY
While I am certainly not an expert on women’s basketball, I do think my rapid trajectory from curious highlight seeker to super-fan is indicative of how far, how fast the women’s game has come to be appreciated by sports fans in general. Two years ago, I was just a guy typing “Iowa women’s basketball” on YouTube, trying to see more of who this University of […]
FOREVER FUNK
It’s been a little over 24 hours since Terry Funk’s daughters shared with me the news that their legendary father had passed away. When his daughter Brandee’s caller ID came up on my phone, I had this immediate feeling that Terry had suffered a bad fall or something of that nature. Up until a few months ago, I don’t think I ever conceived the world […]

Kenya Update
Here is an update on the construction of the school I am funding in Kenya, through Child Fund International. I wanted to do something big to commemorate the 30th year that my wife and I have been sponsoring children through #ChildFund – and this is it. Founded in 1938, Child Fund works in 24 different countries – as well as some of the most economically […]

For My Bearded Friends
As a bearded man for the past 35 years (I think the only three times I have shaved since 1985 have been as part of a ECW angle in 1995, a manicure Mr. McMahon gave Mankind in 1997, and a shave when I had knee surgery in 1999, so I could go on vacation without being as noticeable) I have tried many a beard product […]
A First for Foley!
Just a few months ago, I reached my 2,000th review on Cameo (a first for any current or former professional wrestler on the site) and thanks to all of the Foley fans who have ordered Cameo videos from me over this past year, I’ve now hit upwards of 2,500 reviews – more than triple what any other wrestler / athlete has received! I really enjoy […]
A Landmark Moment for Mick
THANK YOU to everyone who helped me pass a very important milestone: my TWO THOUSANDTH 5-star review on Cameo – that’s DOUBLE (almost TRIPLE) the total of reviews the next closest wrestler has amassed – and that wrestler is Bret “Hitman” Hart, one of the greatest of all time! There is no other athlete with more than 1,000, so I am occupying some pretty rare […]
Mick’s 25 Favorite Kinks Songs
Heading into March, I had four of my busiest months in recent years lined up. But 4 shows into a 47 show tour, the serious nature of the Coronavirus became apparent quickly, and the rest of the tour was postponed. So instead of my “Nice Day Tour” storytelling show hitting 47 cities in 22 states over 49 days, I found myself alone, in my easy […]
Mick Foley’s 10 Favorite Hallmark Christmas Movies
Has there ever been more of a reason to embrace Christmas in July? With our world in turmoil, and the Coronavirus pandemic greatly limiting many of the things we love and enjoy, isn’t nice to just sit back, relax and relive some of what it is we love about Hallmark Christmas movies? I understand they are not for everyone. Sure, we know going in how […]
The Man and The Child
Yesterday’s news of Becky Lynch expecting a child was one of the best things I have ever seen in wrestling. Life has not been easy for any of us during this pandemic – and discovering something to smile about, something to believe in, something to take our minds off the state of the world, is like a much needed elixir for the emotional toll of […]
A Little Good News!
Reasons to smile have been in short supply lately, with the world turned upside down due to the Coronavirus / COVID-19 outbreak. So, I think when one of those reasons surfaces, we should celebrate it. This is a great story TMZ did on how ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch made a young fans day with a video message… and the small role that I played in […]
