Mick Foley

I was given a chance to try announcing, and it was a job that, in the end, I did not care for very much.

If you're in my shoes, and your goal is to leave people with the biggest possible smile on their face, then doing the meet-and-greet afterwards makes sense.

In 1999, I had my back against the wall, and WWE had a ghostwriter working on an autobiography for me. He was halfway through, and it was awful, just boring. I took over as a way of trying to fix things, as I thought I could probably do a better job.

I think what limited my role when I was WWE commissioner in 2000 was my reluctance to get back in the ring every now and then.

I cannot look back and say I did everything I wanted to do in TNA.

Political parties could learn a lot from pro wrestling, as we have our passionate base, too, but we don't necessarily gear our show around them.

The idea of standing five feet away from Norah Jones and listening to her sing Neil Young's 'Down By The River' was just phenomenal. I compare that to what my kids know of at a concert, which is sitting in a stadium and watching a huge screen.

I think doing The Improv is a little more ominous than doing a college campus because it was so different than anything I'd done.

I always had an appreciation for diverse musical styles.

I remember being really hurt by a relative of a good friend of mine when I mentioned that someone was a great wrestler - she said, 'What do you mean? How can you be great at wrestling?' I stopped them and said, 'Do you think that what I do takes no talent whatsoever?' She realized how hurtful those words were.

There is nothing like the indignity of not fitting into a roller coaster.

Probably better than anybody, I realized that I could have easily been one of those guys who was not seen as being a WWE-type guy.
