Foley Really Is A Mark

posted by: Honky Tonk Man on 6/02/2004

 

Sometimes HTM gets a stone in his shoe. As the stone becomes more annoying, HTM has to get the stone out of the shoe and trash it. With the thoughts of the stone in my shoe, I have finally decided to trash what has grown into someone who has annoyed me. That being Mick Foley.

 

This lame ass really is a mark. He is such a mark, he wrote some sorry ass nonsense about HTM in one of his fictional books. I had heard he mentioned HTM in a paragraph, but it wasn't until a few days ago when Ryan our webmaster and member of my forums brought the whole pile of bullshit to my attention. In a nutshell this is the passage from the book. And by the way Fuck you Mick, we are printing this excerpt without giving you any credit due to the total lie you have spread about HTM.

 

Mick Foley wrote the following in his first autobiography: "Jake was and still is one of the unique characters in the business. A strange mixture between a hell of a guy and Satan, Jake is a guy I both genuinely like and am troubled by. As a wrestler, he was one of the best, or at least until the Honky Tonk Man hit him so hard over the head with a guitar that it nearly crippled him. These days Jeff Jarrett hits a guy with a cheap-ass guitar, the thing explodes on impact, a cloud of smoke adds to the effect, and nobody gets hurt too bad. Back in 1987, Honky hit Jake with the best guitar money could buy, the only thing that broke were Jake's vertebrae, and he went down in a heap, never to be quite the same man again.”

 

To set the record straight Mick, since you did not check your facts before printing this shit. Jake was not injured from the guitar shot and it was not the best guitar money could buy. Jake's injuries came from sources in and out of the ring in which HTM had no control. You and all the other bullshit wrestlers who write this fictional garbage should check for the truth before you print marked out shit. A real book writer would have contacted other sources to find out if they have been injured from a guitar shot by HTM. Better yet, why didn't you just ask me? Oh you took Jake's word as fact! I'll bet you all your fucking book sale money you never asked him either. You made it up just like a mark.

 

Enough of that nonsense; lets move to Foley's next line of bullshit. You made another lame ass comment about HTM and the Indies on a radio show. How ironic it is that I will see your crippled ass on an Indy show coming up in PA. I think I will address these issues with you in person.

 

Below is what Foley had to say on the radio show. I will let this speak for itself. In the mean time, Blow me Foley.

 

Last year Mick appeared on a New York wrestling radio show “Get In The Ring.” During a segment where they were having people from Mick Foley’s past call in, he made the comment (paraphrased) “I hope that some broke down wrestler from the 80’s doesn’t call in to try and revive his independent bookings, like the Honky Tonk Man.” Moments later Jimmy Snuka, Foley’s hero, called in to talk to put him over.

 

Till we meet again,

Adios

WM just got done reading and, and WM has to say, WM can't stand people who talk in third person.

Foley>Honky Tonk Man

 

One is a best selling author who will be remembered forever by wrestling fans as a legend, and one is an out of shape broke jobber who will be remembered forever as a guy pushed because of his friends.

 

Shut up moron.

Sometimes HTM gets some sand in his vagina.

 

How ironic it is that I will see your crippled ass on an Indy show coming up in PA. I think I will address these issues with you in person.

 

I'd love to see that.

[Silence 0]

After reading this, it makes you wonder: Who DOESN'T the HTM have an issue with in the wrestling business?

[Use Your Illusion 0]

I'm with JAxl on this one.

 

Oh, and Wondermouse sucks.

 

UYI

[Lil' Bitch 0]

I can see it now on some wrestling site in the future...

 

Mick Foley Attacked by Former WWF Wrestler At Indy Show!!!  Details inside!

 

[Guest Wondermouse]

Oh, and Wondermouse sucks.

I thank you for your ringing endorsement.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

I gave you the superstar rub, now don't let me down, kiddo.

[Guest Wondermouse]

I'm inconsistent, not a lot of desire, you know.

 

But I'll give it my best.

Shut up moron.

Who's better between the two isn't an issue.

 

The issue is that from the looks of it, Foley blatantly lied concerning the guitar shot (I believe Honky for this one), and then put him down on a radio show shortly before an even more washed-up ex-superstar called in.

 

I love Foley, but he's wrong in this situation.

The saddest thing about this isn't the feud between Foley and HTM, it's the fact that Jake Roberts could be a well-respected ring veteran today if he hadn't have taken up a life of drugs.

Any particular reason you buy HTM's story instead of Foley's? HTM's been trashing everyone online just to get his name back in the fans' heads, and when (iirc) Lawler complained, he just said he was "trying to start an internet angle." Since then, everything he does has been shameless self-promotion, as far as I'm concerned.

 

Besides, have you read Foley's second book? He mentions the legal department hassling him over everything he says, using his phrase "genitalactic freak of nature" for Scorpio as an example. I doubt they'd have let him go over Jake if it wasn't at least something that was assumed or accepted in the back.

I doubt he "blatantly lied". He talks in his second book about how the lawyers thoroughly went through the first book, checking for potentially litigious comments, so I doubt that he'd "blatantly lie" and then not have it picked up on.

 

It could be the case that Foley was told that the guitar shot was the cause. It could be accepted as fact. Foley might be mistaken, confused or anything. Calling him a liar is too soon.

 

It could even be the case that HTM is blatantly telling lies - I certainly would believe that before believing that Foley is a liar.

 

Oh, and I laughed at how he was indignant about the Indys comment, before admitting he does work the Indys.

HTM must be a fairly slow reader or a little slow on the up and up...considering foley is good came out in 2001 and have a nice day came out in 99' I respect what HTM has done in his career but this whole "internet angle" stuff is kinda pathetic in Lawler's book he said he still does not understand what HTM has against him and if I remember correctly a few years back at The Royal Rumble Lawler even put HTM over a bit with his commentary.

[haVoc 0]

Even if it was true what Foley wrote, no reason for HTM to be offended. He may have injured Jake, but he wasn't the one who shoved all the coke, crack, liquor, beer, pills and other fun stuff into Jake's body.

[Youth N Asia 0]

For a complete joke wrestler Honky was decient. But he's just so pathetic right now it's really sad watching him just live off of what namepower he has left to shoot off at the mouth on his site to the people who will pay attention.

[haVoc 0]

Which wrestlers today will end up being the Honky and Zenk 10, 20 years from?

[Murmuring Beast 0]

Who the fuck cares about the Honky Tonk Man.

 

You were a shit wrestler and Foley was a hundred times better than you, so try and do something better with your life than clutch to the past and dredging up imaginary feuds.

[Ace309 0]

Who the fuck cares about the Honky Tonk Man.

Really, at this point, it's just him. Possibly Z-Man, too, if they've got a mutual admiration society going.

 

I can just imagine Honky and Zenk out at a bar, sitting together, nursing beers and talking about the good old days.

[Guest wrestlingbs]

HTM, Zenk, and Piper must belong to an exclusive club of "veterans who print garbage but would sell their soul for a contract." After his "genuis" one-man feud with Jerry Lawler over the net I give no cred to anything that guy says.

[jester 0]

I agree with him on one point. Foley IS a mark. I think Foley himself would probably agree.

[Guest Trivia247]

Piper at least has enough sense when he bashes someone verbally he is doing it for the boys...or so it could be claimed.

 

Zenk and Honky could for a indi tag team called the disgruntle midcarders

Word. He and Marty Janetty are working a British Championship Wrestling Show in Kilmarnock in a few weeks. Fucking KILMARNOCK, FFS. To be honest, BCW's last show in Killie was quite entertaining, but it's an example of how the mighty have fallen.

 

And as far as Foley being a mark...isn't it often said in the business that the workers are the biggest marks?

[Guest Choken One]

I would say Booker T will be the new HTM.

 

oh and btw...FUCK HTM.

[AndrewTS 0]

Those calling Honky a liar--did you check with any other sources to see whose story was the truth?

 

Anyway--meh, there's plenty more to bitch about Foley for.

[Guest Coffey]

Shouldn't be in WWE folder....

Nobody called him a liar?

[Youth N Asia 0]

He's not so much a liar as a bitter has-been

[Guest Trivia247]

of course Mick Foley is a mark.

 

He had to be.. From getting the wrestling bug from watching the cage match between Snuka and Muroco.... to him doing that backyard wrestling and jumping off the roof. The fact that he isn't a very good technical wrestler shouldn't matter as much as him busting his ass and body to be a damn entertaining wrestler no matter what it took.
