    How was he the last time? I haven't seen his show, went to see JR in NOLA but wouldn't go again, 50/50 on going to this.

    I wasn't there the last time, but I really hope that BS doesn't happen this time around.

    Just to show that this forum isn't completely Dublo-centric, Mick Foley is also doing a show in Cypress Avenue in Cork Nov 13th.

    A few punchlines wouldn't go astray either!! I can't believe he's coming back, after cursing to himself finishing the set last time.

    What kinda of numbers were at his last gig. Vicar street is a fairly "small" venue but I'd say it has a fairly hefty capacity.

    No idea what the turn out was like for his other gig. Think Vicar St is about 1000 sitting i think

    The **** with hecklers won't be an issue this time, vicar street staff will be on them in the drop of a hat - one warning then turf them out, they have seen enough comedy shows in their time to know how to deal with the worst offenders!

    Comedians are meant to be able to deal with hecklers.

    Mick isnt a comedian though, hes incredibly unfunny in my opinion.

    Will be hilarious if he throws another tantrum again because he's doesn't have the ability to control a crowd like an actual comedian should. His last gig was in the theatre of Belvedere College (seats about 500) beside Temple Street if I remember correctly, whole thing was a shambles. Good luck to him in Vicar Street!

    He was heckled and took it quite personally. Think he said he'd never come back to Ireland.

    By "heckled", a couple of happy drunk lads called out things they'd like to hear about (e.g. "hell in a cell! undertaker!") that kind of thing. Mick couldn't deal with the nicest hecklers in the world. I really hope he's improved.

    Good heavens, Mick Foley was a childhood hero of mine (and hero still, I suppose).

    Should I go if I'm don't want my idea of him shattered? :(

    Well this is news to me. Rather than tell career stories etc - you know, things people would gladly pay to hear - Foley does stand-up comedy? That sounds terrible.

    Good looking girl but easily the most annoying personality with any connection to wrestling bar maybe her clown boyfriend. You can't get away from her either. Mick is weird anyways but he's accomplished things.

    May have four tickets for the Dublin show for a reduced price if anyone is interested? Bought them before the Galway show was announced.

    Pm me if interested!

    Go for it if you can I say.

    Piper was mine and I had a blast when I went to see his show last year and did the meet and greet he was sound put me in a sleeper hold for the photo and let me try on his HoF ring. I've been a fan for over 30 years and when I met him I was like that 10 year who saw him on the tv all those years ago.

    The "VIP" tickets come with the meet & greet. If you just got the regular tix (~20 odd) then it's unlikely.

    I'd think that the promoters & Mick would love more cash but it's probably a time constraint. Best to just e-mail them.

    Just back from the Belfast show and it was absolutely fantastic. Not a heckler in sight. Far exceeded my expectations.

    Since our show was the originally planned and an extra show was put on last night he said that he was giving us the A show because we're the hardcore fans who snapped the tickets up.

    He spoke extensively about KOTR 98 and during the q and a someone asked a fanstastic question that I had never even pondered which was that since the bump through the cage was not planned then what was plan A for the match.

    Spoilered for consideration of people attending shows just in case.
    The plan was to create a hole in the cell at the top so that at some point Mick could dangle through it and take a somewhat safer bump on to his hand and knees. He joked that him and taker thought it would take 4 or 5 chokeslams to create the hole, nope!

    Registered Users Posts: 1,132 ✭✭✭Andy_rse


    I do remember him mention something but it wasn't anything bad just sort of matter of factly mentioned it.

    There was a guy at Wednesday night show who had one too many shandys and during the q and a rambled for a couple of minute and instead of actually asking a question simply stated that Heenan was the best announcer of all time and got a bit mouthy when Mick respectfully disagreed and said JR was. So the warm up guy asked us to be respectful during the show and during the q and a.

    On another note fair play to Mick for staying to the death for the meet and greet afterwards. It was at no extra cost and I'd say 98% of the crowd stayed for it. The queue was that big that me and my mate didn't join so stayed by the bar. By the time we were ready to leave it had dwindled so we jumped in. He saw everybody and was there to after midnight.

    1,050 is official capacity. It's a tough pace to make look full when sales aren't great. There aren't many places you can step down to for comedy though, so hopefully for his own sake it sells well

    The Laughter Lounge would probably be a good fit for him. I saw Jello Biafra in there before. I was at the show last night in Belfast. I second pretty much everything Andy said there!

    Mick's take on it posted on his Facebook page. :)
    NAME YOUR TOP 5 ANNOUNCERS OF ALL-TIME Last night, the Q&A session at the “#FiftyYearsOfFoley” show threatened to get ugly, when a lad, with the help of a few too many pints took great exception to my oft-stated stance that #WWEHOF announcer Jim Ross is the best wrestling announcer of all time. The lad was a little tough to understand…sometimes a few extra pints will do that to a guy. But in the end with great concentration I grasped the point he seemed to be so desperately trying to make: my belief that JR is the greatest Wrestling commentator of all time was downright offensive to him and his earnest belief that the duo of Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon were the greatest announcers of all time. I broke the tense standoff the only way I knew how. “Dude”, I said. “These are OPINIONS. They’re not facts. You are entitled to your opinion – and I’m entitled to mine, right?” Thankfully, the guy calmed down, apologized for creating a disturbance. I shook his hand and headed back to the stage. I heard him call out to me. “Mick?” “Yeah?” “Do you think Eric Bischoff was underrated as an announcer?” I had him thrown out of the building immediately.

    This.

    I think that underneath the veneer, he is a very narcissistic and self-absorbed person who takes himself WAY too seriously.

    He was a **** wrestler who was incapable of having a good match without a gimmick to fall back on.

    Seriously. How many good matches has he had that didn't have a gimmick?

    The HIAC match with Undertaker is talked about like a classic.

    It was barely even a match. It was two spots with dreadful wrestling and psychology.

    That got Foley bent out of shape? I can't imagine what would have happened if they were yelling "You suck." or something that remotely resembles heckling.

    Yo lads, there's a thread for selling tickets (and other wrestling items) here:

    PW Adverts thread *Sell Tix etc here* http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057514832

    Please don't ask for/sell tickets outside of this - we don't want to hand out bans.
