Mick Foley recently appeared as a guest on the Throwing Down with Renee & Miesha podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
The "Hardcore Legend" spoke during the appearance about an argument he once had with Jonathan Coachman, the joke FTR made about him managing them, as well as how he feels William Regal is a great talent.
Featured below are some of the highlights where the WWE Hall of Fame legend touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On the one argument he had with Jonathan Coachman: “As long as I’ve known Jonathan Coachman, I only had one argument. That was when he was maligning the good name of Stacy Keibler. Stacy didn’t want to come back [to WWE], she wanted to do other things. So I cut what we in the trade call a promo on Coach about how unlike those guys, the women didn’t have their travel paid, they didn’t get their rental cars or hotels paid for. They were expected to be great ambassadors of the company. They were expected to look good at all times, traveling the globe. And in the end, after taxes, they’re not making – I just didn’t think it was in keeping with a Superstar should be making.”
On the joke that FTR made about him managing them: “First of all, feel free to spread rumors about AEW being really interested in me. Dax and Wheeler are talking it up. It worked out so well for Bret [Hart, who recently signed a Legends deal with WWE]. I think there’s a handful of guys they don’t want to see in enemy territory. They’ve taken on some major losses, so I thought, ‘hey, I may as well dangle my line out there and see if I can land one of those quiet, lucrative deals.”
On how he thinks William Regal is a great talent: “He was such a great talent – still remains a great talent. When I saw that he was gone from NXT, man, that was a head-scratcher, for sure.”
