Wrestling Legend Mick Foley Launches New Podcast Which Reveals Fascinating Stories From The Squared Circle

Mick Foley, a legendary professional wrestler, turned multi-time best-selling author, turned stand-up comic / spoken word performer can now officially add “podcast host” to his resume.

Foley and ‘The Podfather’ Conrad Thompson have teamed up for a brand new podcast, “Foley Is Pod.”

Each week, Foley and Thompson will take listeners on journeys into the past, present, and future of Foley’s career and the wrestling business. One of the cornerstones of WWE’s meteoric rise in the late 90’s, Foley earned the nickname ‘The Hardcore Legend’ for his ability to absorb seemingly inhuman punishment in some of the most dramatic matches in sports-entertainment history.

Foley was a 3-time WWE Champion, but is best known for his epic and brutal battle with The Undertaker in 1998’s ‘Hell in a Cell’ match, during which he was knocked unconscious after falls both off of and through the 16 foot Cell structure. Despite the injury, Foley finished the match – with one of his front teeth lodged in his nose. Foley also penned his own memoir, ‘Have a Nice Day’ without the aid of a ghost-writer – writing 200,000 words in longhand in 50 days. It shocked the literary world by hitting number one on The New York Times best-seller list

“I’ve always loved interacting with fans and giving them the inside baseball on what happens in the ring and behind the curtain. Some of the stories on the podcast have never been told before and I hope the shows embody the same crafted quality of art that I brought to my wrestling matches” said Mick Foley.

Co-host Thompson is well known as a respected wrestling historian and promoter. Thompson currently co-host three other podcasts that include: My World with Jeff Jarrett, 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff, and Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
