Here Terry is asked what is his most rememorable moment with Mick fole yon the road.
So what is your most memorable Mick Foley road trip story?
Terry Funk: When we went into a restaurant one night, some guy comes up and says: “Mick, Mick, What are you doing?” I was getting ready to go check into the hotel and pay for the hotel room and the guy says “Mick, Why don’t you come over to my house and stay over there?” Hell, we didn’t know this guy from Adam and Mick says OK and stays over there for nothing because he is a cheap-ass anyhow. So, he goes there and stays over there for nothing. So the next day, I go over to Mick and say “Mick are you nuts. That could have been Jack the Ripper. You don’t know who in the hell that was”. He goes “Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah.” He got a free night. Mick’s nuts like that. That’s just a short road story though.
Well, Mick’s a little bit crazy. I remember when we were in Japan, he went ahead and this one Japanese guy came up to me. He said, “Oh, Lookey here.” He’s got his clothes on but he’s got Mick Foley’s underwear on. I said “Where did you get those?” He said “Mick Foley, he sell to me.” Hell, Mick sold him his underwear for 3,000 yen, $20 or $30 bucks or something like that. That was Mick. He was always looking to make a buck.
Great guy to be with on the road, he really is. And he really understands the world. If you travel with him you’d laugh your ass off. Anybody would, you’d have a great time with him. Read more on the interview GO HERE>>>>>>
