While speaking with Sky Sports, Mick Foley talked about the first time he won the WWE Championship titled on a taped edition of RAW back on January 4th, 1999 and mentioned he believed himself as the champion was a mistake.

“It meant so much to me on a personal level and I think I’m right in saying the fans have voted it the best ever Raw moment,” he said. “I’m excited to have been part of so many big matches on Raw. But I saw me as champion as a mistake.

He continued, “I didn’t think it was a good idea. I always thought the challenger should be chasing the champion, and The Rock was a great champion. But it turned out to be the best thing for everybody. We were going up against a massive live WCW show at the Georgia Dome in front of 40,000 people and nobody thought we’d be celebrating a big victory that night. It was not seen as a big moment at the time. I saw it as a big moment for myself because I’d never dreamed of being champion, but we all thought it had been an exciting conclusion to a good show. We didn’t realise the force of the show until the ratings were revealed the next day.”

While speaking to TMZ, Mick Foley was asked about Ric Flair talking about his many relationships with women in the documentary, Foley noted that Ric Flair was “superhuman” with his sex drive in his heyday.

Foley stated, “You can’t call him a wrestler. He was a superhero. He had abilities that the rest of us — surely for a normal human, it would deplete their energy.”

Foley added that Flair trained like an Olympian back in the day and never missed a workout.

WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley recently took part in an AMA session on Reddit to promote his new book Saint Mick and he answered questions about his wrestling career, who he would like to write a storyline for and who he thinks would have been a good feud in his prime. Check out the highlights below:

On his favorite foreign object:

“Chris Jericho hit me with a copy of my own book in 1999. He got the victory, because it was such a large volume – but I made a heckuva comeback. I told him he wanted more of me I would be at the bookstore and gave an address. It was the largest turnout I had ever had!”

On who he would like to write a storyline on:

“I would love to write something for Becky Lynch. I’ve mentioned before that I don’t think we’ve seen the best of her – and her ability to dig down deep for promos is still somewhat underutilized.”

How it was like to be the General Manager of RAW:

“I really enjoyed my time at GM. I could go into detail about little things I wish I could’ve done – but in the end I was fired in spectacular fashion, in a way that helped the company. That’s all you can really ask for when you sign-on is GM. Stephanie was great to Work with!”

On which superstar he could have a good feud with:

“In my prime, I think I could’ve had really good matches with any number of WWE superstars. I think he cactus/Owens match could’ve been great, or a mankind/bray Wyatt match could’ve had some amazing build up.”

Blocks 1 & 2:

Taz opens today’s show by sending his prayers and best wishes to Ric Flair and his family right now. Flair is in the hospital with some heart issues, but Taz is sure that Flair will battle through because he’s as tough as they come. He urges all his listeners to pray for Flair today.

A listener calls into the show and asks Taz for his opinion on the recent in-ring altercation between Mick Foley and Joey Ryan, where Foley took Ryan’s ‘dick flip’ spot. Taz says that he knows both of these men well, and he respects both of them. This spot is very innovative in Taz’s opinion but it’s not his style, and he probably wouldn’t take that spot if he was still wrestling today.

However, Foley was in a similar spot as Ryan 20 years ago when wrestling purists were criticizing Foley’s hardcore style. Taz is sure that Foley can relate to what Ryan is going through, and Foley’s priority has always been to put smiles on the faces of fans. Foley accomplished that last weekend by taking this spot.

Another listener calls into the show and asks Taz if he ever found out the identity of any WWE employees who were stooging off information to dirt sheets back in the day. Taz says that he never found any solid proof, but there were always certain names floating around backstage that were rumoured to be associated to the dirt sheets.

He says that some of the names would surprise fans, because a couple of these individuals went on to have very successful careers and are still with the company today. When talking to these individuals backstage, Taz was always sure to be very careful with what he was saying.
