MICK FOLEY INTERVIEW - Vintage Audio Torch Talk from May 31, 1991, part two of two (90 min.) Jun 30, 2009 - 2:21:55 PM
Each month PWTorch offers a "Vintage Audio Torch Talk" which has never before been heard from our 20-plus year vault of big-name long-form in-depth insider interviews. Each vintage interview is featured for only about a month and then replaced (i.e. not archived) with a new vintage interview. Your only chance to hear these interviews is to be a VIP member and remain a VIP member each month.
The new June Vintage Audio Torch Talk selection is Torch editor Wade Keller's 90 minute interview with Mick Foley. It was conducted on May 31, 1991 and began running in several installments in Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter #127. In the second part of this interview, Foley talks about his dreams of one day headlining in front of huge sellout crowds. He does name association with colleagues and bosses such as Ric Flair and Ole Anderson. He talks about jumping off the roof of his garage for the first time publicly. He even explains why he likes The Munsters more than the Adam's Familiy. It's a wide-ranging interview, a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the great performers of the 1990s on the mic and in the ring, and one of the most influential wrestlers, talkers, and wrestling authors ever. This was his second "Torch Talk" and among his most early interviews, long before he knew he'd become one of the top stars of the 1990s, a best selling author, a multi-millionaire, and Hall of Famer. This interview has never been heard until now (it was only transcribed previously).
This is part two. Part one was posted earlier this month.
