Mick Foley

There are guys who thrive completely on the action in the ring and see the promotion as a necessary evil, whereas I think it's so much easier to tell people what a tough guy you are, as opposed to backing it up.

My mother wanted me to be a writer, which I have ended up taking a long road round to.

I really have to accept the fact that I'm not a young man anymore, that I've probably taken one lifetime's worth of punishment already, and I really do need to be careful. Certainly I don't want other WWE superstars taking the shots I did. That makes me feel very uncomfortable when I see somebody get hit with an unprotected chair shot.

I always felt like the wrestling business was better off with two viable mainstream promotions.

Edge goes out every night, and not just on pay per views; every night, Edge goes out there with the intention of stealing the show. I know that he felt like his title run had not been given the respect from the company that it deserved, and he was really hell-bent on proving that he belonged as a main event guy.

It's funny: wrestlers and comics bond over remembering their best shows and their absolute worst shows.

When people see my show, they may not laugh out loud as they do with some of the classic comedians, but they do enjoy it. I regret that I called it comedy to begin with; I should have called it 'An Evening With' or put it down as spoken word. But the emphasis is always on funny stories.

I loved George Carlin... I used to sit in front of the TV and watch the HBO comedy specials. I loved those comedy specials.

I do some things just to entertain myself, and I figure that part of the audience will be entertained as well.

I always welcome being part of something positive in WWE.

On the 'SmackDown' side, A.J. Styles really has been phenomenal.

A lot of my loyalty is to the wrestlers - the guys who put their heart and health on the line.
