13 Things We Learned From Mick Foley On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast

The Hardcore Legend on Dean Ambrose, Hell in a Cell, his daughter's surprising future & more.

This is the first Stone Cold podcast that takes place in front of a visible live audience, emanating from WrestleMania Axxess in Dallas, Texas. The Rattlesnake is introduced by Corey Graves and enters the ring with his usual routine before cutting a promo on the crowd. Steve runs through a lengthy intro for Mick Foley while the crowd chants "What?!" along with him.The audience is fired up and once Foley arrives they break into a "Holy Sh*t!" chant. This prompts Austin to question if you can say that on The WWE Network, which the fans answer by emphatically chanting "Yes!" There's a table set up center-ring for the men to sit at and the two friends and former colleagues get right down to business.

13. The First Time He Saw Stone Cold

Mick tells the story about the first time he saw the man who would later become Stone Cold Steve Austin. He was working in World Class Championship Wrestling and hadn't had any time off in seven months and was looking for a way to take a few days off, so they ran an angle where Eric Embry hit him with a cowboy boot and knocked him to the arena floor, causing him to spit up blood. Mick wasn't comfortable with allowing the fans to see him leave the arena so he went up to a spot at the top called the crow's nest to hang out until the coast was clear. The late Chris Adams was holding his first wrestling training class in the ring and Foley decided to settle in and watch to see how bad the new guys would suck. He says that when he saw Austin he immediately took notice and thought to himself "This kid's gonna be something", and once he left Dallas he kept an eye out for him and sure enough he did, in fact wind up being "something."
