Mick Foley Discusses WWE's Current Product

Mick Foley recently spoke with the UK's Daily Star to promote his upcoming comedy tour. Here are some highlights:

The Royal Rumble and his status with WWE:

"I
had to sit back afterwards and think about all the things that had
transpired in the five or six minutes I was out there. I realised just
how much fun it was at that point. I had some great reactions from the
other wrestlers and my children."

"I’m on a need to know basis
going forward, I'd like to get involved in some way. I can’t wrestle
very often any more. Apart from the run-in, the Rumble was the perfect
way to play to my remaining strengths and not expose my many
weaknesses!"

The Attitude Era vs. today:

"Are you saying
thumbtacks aren’t fun?! Look, as a dad the thing I enjoy the most about
the current product is not having to tell my kids to change the channel
when sexual chocolate comes on."

"The Attitude era was fun for
different reasons, it was risque, but a lot was not appropriate for
kids. The new style forces wrestlers to be creative and not rely on
chair shots to get a pop."

Why the hell does everyone assume The Attitude era was awesome because of the chair shots?? Iloved it because it was exciting and unpredictable, oh and because the wrestlers could actually you know WRESTLE.

nICE INTERVIEW THOUGH

not everything has to be appropriate for kids.

should we make porn kid friendly? or r rated movies for the chance a kid might watch em?

Also, back then, even the mid-carders were interesting.
