Bonus Drive Thru: Jim Cornette on Mick Foley's Mankind Promos 

"Leave the light on, I'm coming home"

Foley made me legitimately think he had a screw loose back when I was a youngster.

The Mick promos in ECW were fantastic, cane Dewey maybe the best promo in the history of wrestling.

The original incarnation of Mankind(1996-1997) was my favorite by far. Just like only Taker could do Undertaker, Only Foley could pull off Mankind successfully. Wish the original incarnation had a longer run before he became less terrifying and more of a comical character but it is what it is.

Bruce’s story on Jim’s rat dying is classic. I was in tears

Foley has always gave great promo's.

IMO, greatest Interview in history.

Ha. I'm never gonna be able to unsee Jimmy Valiant whenever I see Dude Love. Can't believe I didn't pick up on that before now.

The roof jump was to be like jimmy Snuka ! It's in his book! Goofs

There wrong about that being Jim Rosses first involvement physically i believe in 1995 Bob Backlund put the crossface chickenwing on him.

sammy terry mention!! hell yes!

there have been plenty of great promo guys like the rock,ric flair,dusty rhodes,etc. but mick foley's promo were completely different with tons of depth foley's promo as mankind were the type of promos that would get actors Oscar nominations

lol. I was hooked on mankind from the basement interview. *Fing A. Anther horror guy..... then the no good SOB attached AND LAID OUT THE FREAKING UNDERTAKER. Took years for me to like him after that. Didn't help the announcers would always bring up the fact that no one has a better win/loss record against undertaker.

Dude Love abides

Mick foley single handedly helped steer me away from trying to get into wrestling

Lol..I can totally see the jimmy valiente influence in dude loves promos. Should have known corny had something to do with it.

R.i.p Jorge

My top 10 promos. All different styles in no particular order Mick Foley Arn Anderson Jake Roberts Ric Flair The Rock Chris Jericho Kurt Angle Vince McMahon Jim Cornette CM Punk Honorable mention Michael Hayes Kevin Sullivan Dusty Rhodes Gary Hart Jerry Lawler Steve Austin Eddie Guerrero

Jim just name dropped Sammy Terry. I love Jim even more now. Sammy was an important part of my childhood.

Foley is God! And if I join a cult. The leader better be Jim Cornette.

I wonder if he got paid for each role he played, lol

Cactus Jack was his best!

Woohoo, Sammy Terry!!!

Didn't one of the RoadWarrior's Hit Jim Ross back in the day?... It seems i Remember Hawk Hittin' Jim Ross in a HeelTurn... I Don't Remember Exactly.

This thumbnail pic of Mick! clearly! shows! he's! the real! true! .O.G.! "Bullet-Club" leader! & member! Lolz! ; )

Is this Colt Cobana?

It was actually Foley’s idea himself to do the interview in character
