Chicago Now interview
Foley talks to Chicago Now about his recent appearances in WWE and possibly returning for a recurring on-screen authority role.
I think their needs to be a balance of power. I think on screen the Authority has had too much power for too long and it’s been a little heel heavy. I would hope I am on that short list of candidates for that type of role if it does arise. And if it was brought forth to me, I think I would do it. And with my personality I think I can bring a fresh attitude towards that “higher power”.
Steve Austin Show interview
Foley is a guest on the Steve Austin Show to discuss WCW, negotiating pay in wrestling and steel chair shots to the head.
It’s been a tough couple of years, honestly. It really has. I used to think a concussion that knocked you out and made ya throw up so I thought maybe I had six. Then we find out its not just the major blows that cause them. Its the cumulative ones including body blows.
USA Today interview
Foley sits down with USA Today to discuss doing stand up comedy, Bray Wyatt, WWE and CM Punk.
I love it because performing on stage gives me a chance to feel all the things that I felt when I was in the ring… without the late-night emergency room visits. It’s the great upside without the physical beating that I used to take.
Chad Dukes interview
Foley talks to Chad Dukes Wrestling Show The Wyatt Family and The Shield.
Sometimes, and I’m not picking on other groups, but when I wrestled elsewhere for a couple of years it was almost as if they thought every person watching the show watched every episode and kept up on everything, and they would break up groups, literally within months, two or three months.
Roman Show interview
Foley talks to The Roman Show about wrestling Edge at Wrestlemania and steal chair shots to the head.
He was a guy who needed to take a tiny step to the next level. I just happen to be the guy to help him. You try to give to others cause when I was there someone did it for me.
Ross Report interview
Foley is a guest on The Ross Report to discuss hardcore wrestling, steel chairs and CM Punk leaving WWE.
I imagine that any number of physicians would say he should be taking a long physical break. He worked a more fast pace than anyone I’ve seen in the past decade and that will wear on ya quickly.
Star Tribune interview
Foley speaks to The Star Tribune about brain research in professional wrestlers, and donating his own brain to science.
I have been approached. These are some tough questions here. You see how quickly I did those autographs? We got through a few hundred people fairly quickly. Signing my name on that form to donate my brain took a long time. It’s a big step, but if other people can learn from what I’ve done, I’m willing to do it.
Chicagoist.com interview
Foley talks to Chicagoist.com about his ongoing comedy tour and his comedy focusing on wrestling.
I don’t often venture out from my comfort zone. Again, it’s because people aren’t coming out to hear me tell stories about non-wrestling issues. I do describe how my career in professional wrestling has given me a unique perspective on traveling abroad, politics and pornography, but I have a tether that pulls me back in.
WWE.com interview
Foley speaks to WWE.com about his infamous fall in his Hell in a Cell match with The Undertaker.
I feel kind of like Adam West in his views towards being Batman. For so many years, he fought it. Just like for so many years it really felt like I had other matches that were worth talking about that seldom got mentioned.
Wrestling101.com interview
Foley talks about being selected for the WWE Hall of Fame:
It’s going to be huge for me, I attended a New York Knicks game as a guest of the WWE and they but my name up on the scoreboard at Madison Square Garden and then played my Hall of Fame induction video and that is when it kind of dawned on me. In a very short amount of time I will be up on the stage standing in front of close to 20,000 people in the worlds most famous arena and for the first time I got a little bit concerned.
The Art of Wreslting interview
Foley is a guest on The Art of Wrestling to discuss writing, wrestling and road stories.
I checked into a twenty-five dollar motel that did not take credit cards. You had to walk around the alley to get to the room. I said out loud, “I’m Cactus F’in Jack. That am I doing here?”
Pro Wrestling Radio interview
Foley talks about his new book, Tietam Brown:
I did feel like it was one of those books that you’d feel compelled to read once they started and to me that is the mark of a good book. One that kind of calls out to you when your’re not reading it and I have read a lot of books that are supposed to be great and I understood while I was reading them that was writing was really good, but I didn’t feel anything in common with the characters or any need to relate to them and I think if there is one strength, and I think that this book does have several strengths, I think that is the strongest point that the main character is very engaging and likable and I think people like you will find that they will be drawn to them.
