In this interview Mick Foley talks about his one-man show and multi-generational appeal: “I think with anything, you get better with practice. The more reps you get in, the more natural it feels. And the more natural it feels, the better the show is. The stories are always evolving and changing. I can honestly say I never get bored of doing these shows. I really enjoy them, and I enjoy seeing the smiles and hearing the laughs. I think nostalgia is a huge factor for fans. Somewhere around 2010, I went from being washed up to being part of people’s childhoods. I’m the same guy. I’ve only gotten older, but I’m no longer old and irrelevant. I’m part of people’s collective memories. One of the things that’s surprised me most is that so many of my fans are children – kids who weren’t even born until 15 years after the Hell in a Cell match. When I retired from wrestling (the first time in 2000), the internet was kind of in its infancy. I just assumed that my fan base was going to continue to get older.”
