On the latest edition of his “Foley Is Pod” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley commented on taking a shovel shot to the face during a match with the Nasty Boys at WCW Spring Stampede 1994.
During the pay-per-view event, Foley teamed with Maxx Payne to face off against Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags. Foley says several of his big bumps during the match were improvised.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On taking the flat bump to the outside during the match: “There’s not enough room for me to take this bump, the Nestea Plunge, properly. So I end up doing great damage to my shoulder because I gotta rotate mid-air.”
On getting hit in the face by a shovel during the bout: “I personally thought the Nestea Plunge was enough for the fall, but Sags had other ideas … None of that was [planned], because the only thing we knew was the finish. And again, maybe I’m looking back at this through this with rose-colored glasses, but my recollection — and I think that’s consistent with what I wrote in 1999 — is that I didn’t have anything planned. Maybe Maxx and those guys did, but I was already, in my head, out of the company and getting surgery.”
