"You take a guy like Mick Foley. He has been in all those crazy matches, and I remember one time with him, they told him not to take the thumbtacks to the ring and I think he stuck them down in his pants and took them, anyway. So, we were all back there, and once he threw it out, Vince blew a gasket. Oh God was he hot," said Teddy Long. [9:18 - 9:40]

“No. I don’t have the head for business and the attention to details. I did as far as character went. Maybe I could have been a good guy to help with promos," Foley said.
Mick Foley also revealed that although former WWE Executive John Laurinaitis offered him a backstage agent role, he turned it down. He added that he would have preferred to work as a consultant but was never offered that role.
