Here is our Mick Foley story, I know it
is from Chapter 11, which we
already did, but hey, it's a great story.
---------------------------
Mick Foley
Cactus Jack
We always found ways to mess with the younger
guys, or the ones with little road experience. Page made that
even more fun, because of his many quirks and his intensity. We
were just three guys trying to find a break to move up the ladder.
Our goal at the time, like the majority of the guys in the business
was to get to '156' .
It's hard to imagine these days "Stone
Cold", "DDP" and "Mankind" splitting
a $40 Days Inn Motel room, but Steve and I had the beds and Page
had a fold out cot. That went with the territory, low man on the
card had the least of the 'perks'. Steve was the top earner between
the three of us and probably was the closest to '156', Page was
probably about half of that, and I was somewhere in the middle.
We had only the security of one-year deals, and knew that a lot
of guys never got close to that 'magic number'.
We had just started a 7-day road trip just
after Page had started wrestling and Steve Austin; Page and I
were sharing the ride and the room. We had been frequent traveling
partners and Steve and I would bet on how many days it would take
to 'break' Page and get him to lose his temper.
We would hide the towels when we knew he
wanted to take a shower and force him to call the front desk.
We would then hi-jack the towels in route forcing another call,
then another.until we would have Page drying off with wash cloths
and hand towels. We would sit on the bed while he would stand
there naked.dripping wet and screaming at the hotel operator.
We'd do this in two or three different towns, making him believe
he was 'jinxed' until we would find another way to crawl under
his skin.
We had him so mad that he had flipped out
and had threatened to throw me off of a second story balcony once.
Well of course it never came to that because
I seized the opportunity to rib him again when I said, 'Don't
worry Dallas, if I don't make it the first time I just throw myself
over like you did in that match with the 'Z-man'". That incident
had happened over a year prior to that while Page had been a manager,
and he had ridiculously 'oversold' a bump when he was to have
flipped over the ropes in that match. It had become a long-running
rib, and we used every opportunity to remind him about it.
That same trip we had gotten a huge plate
of chocolate chip cookies given to us by a fan. Page had been
out and by the time he had got home I had lined his entire cot
with the cookies between the mattress and the sheets. Steve and
I were in bed, faking sleep and waiting for Page to stroll across
the room to get into bed.
Now, I must tell the world that Page is
far from modest. In fact it was not unusual to see him nude, except
for his ice bags rigged to various place just 'hanging out' around
the room.
So of course he slept nude, so when he got
into bed, we could hear him trying to get settled in while we
could hear the sound of cookies crumbling. In the dark of the
room he yelled,
"Which one of you motherf**kers, put
the f**king cookies, in my f**king bed"
I was so laughing hard without a sound that
he could see me shaking in the bed from holding in the laughter.
In a rage he gathered up a handful of the crumbled cookies, threw
back the sheets, spread the cookies over me, and then sat on me
to grind the cookies on me. While he was jumping on me he continued
to scream 'How do you f**king like it!" over and over again.
I calmly said 'Page I can 'deal' with the cookies, but your naked
a$$ is really going to cause you a problem'.
