The King of Hardcore

He is a three time world champion and has had countless matches that will forever live in infamy. His accomplishments include countless broken bones, two missing teeth, and the loss of an ear. Still, he comes back for more and that has earned him the title of the greatest hardcore wrestler of all-time. He is also one of the nicest men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and is a New York Times bestselling author.

Of course, I am talking about Long Island’s own, Mick Foley. Mick swung by the studio and Robin Lundberg and I had a chance to talk to the living wrestling legend about everything from his upcoming match this Sunday at TNA Wrestling’s Bound for Glory against Abyss to his quest to be recognized by LeBron James.

The Hardcore Legend

Originally Published: April 17, 2009, on 1050ESPN.com (now ESPNNewYork.com)

When you think of hardcore wrestling, there are only a couple of men that shoot to the forefront of everyone’s minds. One of those men is Mick Foley.

Mick has had a long and illustrious wrestling career from being the King of the Death Matches in Japan to a 3-time WWE Champion and has a chance to add TNA Heavyweight Champion to his list of accomplishments this Sunday in Philadelphia at TNA’s Lockdown.

Mick will take on “The Icon” Sting in “Six Sides of Steel”, TNA’s take on the steel cage match, at TNA’s most hardcore Pay-Per-View of the year, Lockdown. So, if you can’t get down to Philadelphia to see the show live, you can order it through your local cable provider to see Mick Foley in a match he helped put on the map.

In my interview with Mick, I asked what his thoughts were going into the steel cage once again at this stage of his career. We also chatted about getting snubbed from WWE’s Legends of Wrestlemania video game, his decision to come to TNA Wrestling, and the possibility of being in TNA’s next video game, TNA Impact 2, due out later this year.
