Mick Foley appeared on Wrestling Voice Radio with Duane Doogan. Highlights from the interview are as follows:
His performance at the Royal Rumble: "I don't think it was until I got
back to the hotel that I realized, just how many things had gone on in
the little time I was out there, maybe four or five minutes but even in
those four minutes, you got that entrance, that's what I was most
nervous about, 'How the heck am I going to run out to the ring?', the
interaction with great young wrestlers like Primo and the thing with
Ricardo (Rodriguez) that I thought was really funny, the stuff with
Santino and the stuff with Miz and Cody (Rhodes) who were both the work
horses of the Royal Rumble, so when I put it all together I realize
'wow, there was a lot going on in that time period', and I was minutes
away from sucking all the oxygen out of the building so whoever won the
Rumble would be doing so in front of an unconscious crowd."
The possibility of wrestling someone like Cody Rhodes or Dolph Ziggler
at WrestleMania: "It would be nice if the people who made those
decisions thought I was capable of that, I really would have to be in
good shape and I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, I'm not gonna
say I'll never do a match again but if people want to see me and Santino
as a tag team or me and Zack Ryder as a tag team at a pay-per-view I
would at least think about it because I think people would enjoy it and
it wouldn't carry the pressure.
"I'm not (wrestling a big
match) but I'd like to be in shape for it and hope that it would be
something that could really add to a long-term angle or help one of
those moments that gets people to the next level, I don't think it's the
great matches so much as the personal issue that reaches a conclusion
in a match that helps somebody get to that level and I think I could a
nice step for somebody."
