Mick Foley Day, in the media and in his own mind

God, he just looks like he would smell to high heaven.

According to Prowrestling.net, Mick Foley told IGN that he still doesn’t know whether to call the company he works for “TNA” or “Impact Wrestling.”

I’m still having all those details explained to me too.

Also being explained to Foley today are directions to a barber.

Second Foley item of the day from Prowrestling.net: Mick Foley told Brian Fritz of Between the Ropes that… oh, oops, he still doesn’t know whether the brand to which he is now so loyal is now called “TNA” or “Impact Wrestling”… geez…

You know, I’m still wondering in a lot of ways.

Alright, I can rip on the guy all day and not break a Matt-Hardy-crossing-the-street sweat, but Mick Foley does know how to talk. If you’re Dixie Carter or Jeff Jarrett or Vince Russo, and you haven’t sent one of your most eloquent speakers out to the media without some bullet points, not the least of which being the name of your god damn company, you’re bigger, more oblivious dolts than we all thought. Need proof that Foley knows how to talk? From that same interview with Fritz, here’s Foley, discussing his favorite topic: himself:

And not just more wrestling, but hopefully better wrestling. I’m not taking a knock at any of the guys. I think, for example, when Ric Flair and I had the big match in October, it took people by surprise and they said, ‘Wow, that’s something we’d expect to see on a pay-per-view.’

What shouldn’t take anyone by surprise is current-day Mick Foley a) kissing Ric Flair’s ass and b) putting his own performance over as “better wrestling” in a “big match” that should have been on “pay-per-view.” What a crock. Foley’s better in-ring days, much like his Boyardee-spoiled ass, are behind him, and while few people have been able to tell a better story than Foley, a lot of those few don’t start every sentence with “I.”

Finally, courtesy of Prowrestling.net, Mick Foley was dubbed “Greatest Person of the Day” by HuffingtonPost.com for his commendable fundraising work with the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN). HuffPo, as we dorks call it, noted that Foley has helped raise more than $140,000 for RAINN since April. Sources better known as Eric Nelson, though, noted Foley hasn’t showered since March. -Eric

    There’s something incredibly hollow about a faux celebrity raising money for charity. You couldn’t just kick that in from your own bank account, chubs? Or did you already spend on that Old Country Buffet visits?
