12 Super Weird Quirks Unique To ONE Wrestler
1. Mick Foley’s Punch/Kick/Move Sound
Imagine Mick Foley had been around in the early-90s WWF and positioned against Bob Backlund? It would've been a festival of, 'OH NO/OH WOE NO" and, "HI-SHAY SA". Stick a beat and a guitar riff to it, and you might actually have had one of the finest metal tunes of the era. OK, enough joking for now.
Foley loved saying, "HI-SHAY-SA" when delivering punches, kicks or various moves though. He'd primarily do it when dishing out punishment, and didn't tend to make a ton of noise when he was selling (other than screaming in pain as Mankind), but it happened a lot throughout his career whether Mick, Mankind, Cactus Jack or Dude Love.
"HI-SHAY-SA! HI-SHAY-SA! HI-SHAY-SA!".
Yep, have a listen whenever you're watching Mickles do his thing on YouTube, Netflix or wherever else you consume your retro wrestling. He loved saying that when he was peppering a helpless Triple H at Royal Rumble and No Way Out 2000, and he definitely got a lot of mileage out of it when working with Sting in WCW.
This isn't a complaint, by the way. Unlike Backlund's OTT moans and statements, Foley's mid-match talking wasn't annoying. If anything, it added a lot to the desperation his character(s) felt in the heat of the moment. That wild man approach was part of Mick's appeal, after all.
