10 Things We Learned From Mick Foley On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast

Picture Steve Austin and Mick Foley backstage at some arena on the road. Mick has just shown Steve his new 'Mr. Socko' idea, and asked his mate for feedback. Despite loving it, Austin can't believe that Foley is serious, and the pair end up p*ssing themselves for hours as Mick explains it further.
Then, there's a knock on the door. It's a member of WWF staff, and they want the giggling wrestlers to keep their voices down because none other than Vince McMahon is shooting some promos in the next room. Undeterred, the megastars apologise and then go right back to laughing.
