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 […]

Sue is a Warrior
I had just tweeted out my congratulations to longtime WWE employee Susan Aitchison for being announced as the recipient of the Warrior Award at this year’s WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony, when a fan asked a very valid question. “Who is she?” Followed by, “I’d like to know more about her.” So, in the next few paragraphs, I will try to explain who Sue […]

All Hail King Ricochet
Rocky Balboa was really onto something in the original “Rocky” when he expressed concern to little Marie about the reputation she was creating for herself by hanging out on the corner by the Atomic Hoagie Shop. “They don’t remember you”, the Italian Stallion warned her. “They remember the rep.” Until his recent signing by NXT, I was concerned that the same fate might befell Trevor […]
Foley’s Friday Favorites: Ranking the ‘Friday the 13th’ Movies
For Christmas 2016 my son Mickey’s big gift was a Fender Jaguar electric guitar. Retail value $1,200. This Christmas, his big gift was the “Friday the 13th” box set. Retail value $25. He loved them both equally! A few days after Christmas, we watched the original 1980 version. I was hooked! Before embarking on this cinematic journey with my son, my main connection to the […]
Happy Anniversary
25 years. No off-season. No reruns. And since that Westminster Dog show situation was resolved (in which the dog show would preempt Raw for two weeks each year) several years ago, no off weeks. That’s nothing short of amazing, and absolutely a cause for celebration. Even if Raw occasionally frustrates you, isn’t there something really nice about knowing it’s there for you… always there for […]
