WWE HOF Mick Foley: Sued Over Fire, Buried by Flair, and the Cactus Jack Adult Video Story

Mick Foley in a 2004 live Q&A setting, bouncing from hilarious to surprisingly blunt in about 30 seconds. Foley talks thumbtacks and why Randy Orton looked like he went into shock, why he’s a “steel chair traditionalist,” and why fire spots can go real wrong (including the time he spent days in court after a fan got burned and tried to cash in). He also addresses Ric Flair’s autobiography comments about him, suggesting why Flair went “controversial” in print, and throws in a sharp (but fair) take on WWE’s handling of Randy Orton right after he won the title. Then it gets weird: Foley explains how the Cactus Jack theme music got permanently ruined for him after a fan tried to show him a “rather adult” tape… and that music hits at exactly the wrong moment. There’s also a genuinely wholesome section: Foley talks about Operation Smile and promoting a children’s book where proceeds go toward building an early education center in the Philippines, plus a charity story about raising money at an indie show. Ox Baker also appears and gives Foley a heartfelt tribute. Content note: This is an archived live event from 2004. Language and adult references reflect the era and the crowd setting.
