Submitted by Chris Walters on Monday, July 14, 2003 at 9:08 PM EST



Thanks to Rich Jones from The Pain Clinic for sending in the following:

Mick Foley comes on the show and gives us “the business” for stealing a little of His cheap pop.

Mick starts talking about his book and the publicity he has gotten since it came out (i.e. Today Show and USA Today.)

Mick talks about some things in the book that came from life’s experiences and other came from friends in the business‘s stories.

(Mick’s hands are full with lil’ Mick during the interview)

Mick talks about he wants to do signings at wrestling shows in the future but right now he is doing book stores on his tour.

Mick talks about the creation of the recording for the audio version. He realized that he had fun recording the evil characters when he was doing it and it would be easy to do a “heel” character again.

Mick talks about the setting of the book (Conestoga, NY. Not far from Rochester) and his familiarity with the area is why he used it as a setting.

Mick talks about working with Ric Flair recently after his first 2 books said some un-pleasant things about him and his booking style. He hasn’t had a real sit down with Ric but he will in the future.

Mick talks about his thoughts on Hogan and Flair remaining in the spotlight after their prime. Some real insight into what Mick would do if he had the WWE’s book.

Mick mentions his next book about baseball and relates the baseball player to the wrestlers who are past their prime but continue because their love of the business.

Mick talks about his Today show appearance and how Katy Couric could be heard laughing to Mick’s jokes off camera during the interview.

Mick talks about a house he owns burning to the ground in Florida. Mick hasn’t lived in this house in a few years but he had great memories of the home. Mick was a little
upset that tv channels teased the fire with “A tragedy strike the Foley family” and it was a bit misleading.

Mick takes a call about hardcore wrestling and Howard Stern. Mick expresses his opinion that hardcore wrestling strictly couldn’t survive as a program with 100% hardcore action. He said he wanted to get on Howard Stern’s but they didn’t call back when he expressed interest in coming on.

Mick talked about possible having “Tietam Brown” made into a movie and how he would have a meeting with producers this week. We suggest the Rock but Mick said he doesn’t envision Rocky as Tietam.

Mick plugs www.mickfoley.com and touches on some stuff he’s working on and his possibilities of coming back to WWE before he leaves the show.

The interview can be heard on www.feelthepain.net .
