Mick Foley Debuts with Total Nonstop Action in Long Island

Source: Newsday
Wrestling history was made tonight on Long Island when Mick Foley made his first
appearance at a TNA event.
Just before the night’s main event between Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle, Jeremy Borash said Long Island’s biggest TNA fan happened to be backstage. The crowd chanted for Foley, and he came out to “Born to Be Wild.”
Dressed all in black with a leather vest, Foley slapped hands with fans around the ring, and then took the microphone by a ringside production table and said he was about to give “the most unusual entrance speech of all time… Jeremy, how do I get back to the dressing room.”
Some fans chanted “Dewey” – the name of Foley’s eldest son, and Mick seemed to get a kick out of it. He said this was only the second time his entire family attended a wrestling show together, so he asked if the fans would make it a memorable night for him and his family and chant the names of all his kids – and they did.
“Thank you so much. I would not be here if I didn’t believe in this company,” Foley said in closing. “I love the show and I’m looking to hopefully make a huge impact on TNA.”
Foley never actually stepped in the ring.
