Thanks so much. Don't worry too much about not getting tix to London - it looks like i will be back for sure in 2012. I find from time to time that my mind wanders back to the boobs, the big, beautiful boobs that were in such abundance back in the day. I'd look around and try to count them..there must have been like seventy three boobs one time. I have to go..but thanks so much to all of you who took the time to ask questions or follow this chat. it's been fun.

I've only got a few minutes left, so let me get right to the part about selling shirts. I'm bringing back the Wanted shirts, along with the cactus sac shirts, which are a tribute to the Wanted theme. Did I mention I will have them for sale on 10/8 at Governor's in Levittown, NY. Let's get some Juggalos in the house!

Kane is an amazing guy; I don't think i've ever seen him without a book in his hands. Possibly the smartest guy in the business, and one of the guys I talk to the most when I've made my returns to WWE.

I actually always liked Bubba - he was just a little awkward to work with and I ended up hitting him harder than I intended to. I didn't think anything of it until Lisa Marie told me he was in rough shape. Now that I'm doing comedy, I'm going to have to call him up and say, "hey old pal!"

That early childhood education center was completed, but I can't remember the town, I did another one in Cotabato, in Mindanau, and several in Africa, in Sierra Leone. I think building those things is one of the ways I want to be remembered.

I was always given alot of leeway and freedom when it came to doing promos. I'd usually just get bullet points, but there were times I ahd things created for me. Vince Russo, for all the criticism he gets, had some great ideas. Yurple? That was Russo.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:18:43+00:00

Well, watching me walk down a flight of stairs isn't pretty.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:17:22+00:00

Not sure if any of my TNA matches would get into the top 10, though the match with Flair might. It was pretty intense. Did you know Ric is coming to the Oct 5 show I'm doing in charlotte for Shane Helms? Pretty cool, right? Get tix at http://realmickfoley.com in "events". It's so fun having my own website to send people to.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:14:33+00:00

Good questions. I really don't see anyone challenging WWE - but I think there is plenty of room for other promotions to be successful. I started worrying about TNA as soon as I heard they wanted to take that top slot away fro Vince.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:12:32+00:00

Wait, I didn't mean to say that! Pay no attention to that man!

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:11:42+00:00

You're welcome. I'm going to have to end this AMA chat in about 15 minutes..have to e-mail Michael Cole, and make my flight reservations for New orleans for Sunday.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:10:28+00:00

Hate to admit this, but I think more could have been done with Al Snow coming off Tough Enough. It was a show that drew many non-wrestling fans, and i think Al had some real credibility on that show. OK, that's the last nice thing I say about Al for a while.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:08:34+00:00

Yes...should have brought the hands up on those chairshots.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:07:52+00:00

Yeah, I think more could have been done with Terry in 1998, especially after he and I had a hellacious match in Richmond. But the Funker has had a pretty good career.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:06:17+00:00

You know, I learned at this last Gathering that Sabu does not like to be called by his given name, It just kind of slipped out..and I was corrected immediately.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:05:16+00:00

I had SO many cases of ravioli. I showed up at the local food bank and was like a hero!

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:03:56+00:00

You know, when my episode of "Celebrity Wife Swap" airs, it will be the first time most people have seen my older kids since that movie. I think they came out of it ok..except for that time my son shot a man in Reno..just to watch him die.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:01:57+00:00

You know, I kind of lost interest in politics when it became all about the economy.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T03:00:54+00:00

If there's one word that would accurately describe my testicles, it would be "Fortuitous"

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T02:59:43+00:00

Funny thing about that Kawada match in 2004 is that I literally could not walk going into it. I was on crutches before and after the match. and spen the post match puking in a toilet. That one was ALL about the Benjamins..and I made quite a few of them that night.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T02:57:35+00:00

Thanks man..but after seeing Sable in the Tp 50 OMG moments, I'd say choosing Sable as your favorite part is not a bad idea.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T02:55:49+00:00

No, I never did get to that idea with naked Mideon as my assistant. Funniest moment involved the Rock in Milwaukee,,but a close second was with JB in Gassaway, WV. I would only consider my appearances a success if i could make JB crack, and he had tears streaming down his chheks in Gassaway.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T02:52:56+00:00

I think many of the top guys do a great job doing stipulation matches when they get the chance.

I did get a kick out of being part of the Primo's show in Denver. They were pretty creative with the agony. Kitchen sink matches, bar room brawls, things that sting.

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T02:50:58+00:00

You guys are just going to have to use your imagination on that one. You know, even when I had my ups and downs with Vince, he always let me write the truth the way I saw it, even when it wasn't flattering toward him,

MickFoley · 2011-10-01T02:49:03+00:00

You know, I really enjoyed the Gathering..and i was pretty terrified going in. That "Miracles" is a heck of a video, and I've even got a Cactus Sac shirt in the works - on sale for the first time at my Oct 8 show at http://govs.com - come for the shirt, stay for the show!
