The Whole Show Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 He actually came to Cardiff on his second tour and I refused to go on the basis I'd be risking getting inflicted with it again. Glad I didn't now. The second one was pretty much exactly the same as the first tour. The third tour in May last year he actually freshened up from the first 2 tours (that is if you hadn't heard all his stories from his WWE Hall Of Fame speech). Raven did a stand up act? Tell me more please. (PS, that Mick routine sounds the fucking pits) He was over here for a one shot gig in a pub in London last February. His comedy act consisted of 20 minutes of telling dick jokes, talking about how many women he has shagged, along with some real lame material thrown in. He was also constantly looking at his notes and reading of script. He was also very forgetful. I actually spoke to Raven about it at Wrestlecon last year and he thought it was the shits too. However like Foley IMO, the wrestling stuff he did was really good and well spoken. He done a hour and half q & a session after his act and if you like Ravens shoot interviews etc then you would of loved this. Quote
jimufctna24 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I had to look up the Foley/Karate Kid routine after the glowing reviews above Here it is if anyone fancies watching it. It lived up to the hype, that is for sure - Quote

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted April 29, 2014 Paid Members Posted April 29, 2014 I was enjoying slagging Foley off with everyone and I was completely prepared to laugh at how shit his stand up routine is in the video the chap above me linked to (and don't get me wrong- it's not funny). But something about hearing his voice in the video as opposed to just reading stupid shit he's written online and the fact that unfunny as it was he was trying to make the audience have a good time reminded me that I used to like him and now I don't feel like slagging him off anymore. Oh Mick, what a confusing creature you've become. Quote

Paid Members DCW Posted April 29, 2014 Paid Members Posted April 29, 2014 Foley'latest idiotic musings. JOHN CENA: LET THERE BE CHANGE How good was that #BrayWyatt/children's choir creepy sing-along last night on #RAW? So good that I wish I'd thought of it back during my original #WWE feud with The Undertaker. I have become a HUGE Bray Wyatt fan, and consider any comparison between Bray and anything I did in my career as a big compliment. As many of you know, I have also been a vocal supporter of John Cena. I genuinely like John as a person, and have defended him many times as a wrestler. It's easy to defend Cena against the looping haymakers thrown by most detractors: he can't wrestle, he has only three moves, he's been carried by great opponents. But there's this one knock on Cena for which I have no defense. It's not a looping haymaker, that can be seen, countered and sent right back at the claimant. No, it's more like a stiff jab that sneaks through even the best pro-Cena defense. A stiff jab of honesty from which there is no countering, avoiding or evading. A stiff jab that continually states that the Cena character is stale. I agree, It's time for a change. Bray Wyatt has a chance to be the initiator of that change. A chance to show the world a different Cena; a desperate, dangerous, angry Cena. He's half-way there. Cena's blaming of the WWE Universe for putting him in an impossible situation was a good start. His look of disbelief and defeat as Bray Wyatt gently rocked that mask-wearing child was powerful in its believability and subtlety. But, as good as it was, I could not fully enjoy the brilliant, chilling segment - one of the most memorable things I've seen on Raw in tears, because of ...because of...because of those WRISTBANDS! Because of those wristbands...and the HAT! Because of those wristbands, and the hat...and the bright green FLOURESCENT SHIRT! I LIKE John Cena - but everytime he raised his hand and put it to his head last night, I couldn't help but feel "he's trying to sell me something". Every time he waved his cap, I thought, "he's trying to sell me a hat." Every time he walks through that curtain, I get the feeling he's trying to sell me something. I could not, and can not completely enjoy this amazing groundwork that Bray Wyatt is in the process of laying down, unless I'm convinced that it is bringing out a different side...a change.. in John Cena. In order for John Cena to start completely SELLING ME on a change in his character, he's got to be willing to stop SELLING ME his merchandise every time he raises his hand. In the short run, it will cost both John Cena and the WWE some money in merchandise. In the long run, its going to give Cena a much needed twist to his character, and more importantly, allow Bray Wyatt to make WWE some serious money by putting butts in seats, and eyeballs in fron of the WWE Network for a long time to come. That's change I can believe in. Quote
SteelEdge Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 May be worth spoiler-tagging that, some people may not have seen Raw yet. But yeah, utterly stupid view from Foley. Is he saying that wrestlers can't wear their own merch? Quote
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted April 29, 2014 Moderators Posted April 29, 2014 Hilarious from a man who literally only ever showed up, for years, when he had a new book to wave about, having his cake and eating it by being 'ironic' about his plugging, like Gervais with a race joke. Quote
Paid Members herbie747 Posted April 29, 2014 Paid Members Posted April 29, 2014 That Karate Kid comedy bit was fucking dreadful. Quote
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted April 29, 2014 Paid Members Posted April 29, 2014 Also, whoever compared Wyatt to Foley? Quote
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Heard that comparison several times, probably because they're both fat bearded blokes. Also, I believe Wyatt's deranged cult leader character reminds some of the darker early version of Mankind, before Socko and the goofy comedy skits. Dear God, don't ever turn Bray into 1999 Mankind.

The Truth Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I think Mick Foley is the best wrestler and promo man ever. Everything he is saying is right. Nice to see him sticking to his beliefs and not letting wwe take the piss. Quote
SteelEdge Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Latest tweet from the Micker... A few times a year I buy #JuicyFruit gum, just because it reminds me of meeting @StacyKeibler in 2000. ....Fucking hell Quote
King Pitcos Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Jesus Christ. Social media has been the downfall of Mick Foley, his twin foibles of diva creeping and currying favour with the worst kind of fan. He'll be calling for the return of the Cruiserweight title and wondering if the Bellas have the same hairstyles next. Quote
Ant Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Latest tweet from the Micker... A few times a year I buy #JuicyFruit gum, just because it reminds me of meeting @StacyKeibler in 2000. ....Fucking hell Don't believe it for a second. He'll have got a star struck fan/wrestler to buy it, or have pinched it. Quote
