During the latest episode of Foley is Pod, Mick Foley spoke about the Vince McMahon Limo Explosion angle, and how he responded to it.
“I was really upset about it. I had about a 45-minute talk/shouting match with Mr. McMahon because I hated that angle. At the time I was doing quite a bit with the injured service members and I was always working with kids who are facing challenges, including imminent deaths. It was crazy because going back to the episode where I did kiss Vince’s butt following the I Quit Match with Ric. We’re live backstage, so we can’t cut. I called him Vince, and he said, ‘What did you call me?’ I thought it was a trick question. He looked at me, and I didn’t realize you were supposed to refer to him as Mr. McMahon when he’s on camera. He gave me 45 minutes of his time, and a lot of it was yelling.”
On his reaction to the angle:
“I remember saying, ‘You know who does think you’re dead? A child facing challenges and the prospect of death. You know who else thinks you’re dead? A US Service member who lost both of their legs. These are people coming up to me asking about you.’ And he goes, ‘Mick, Vince McMahon didn’t die. Mr. McMahon died. And I went, ‘Do you think our fans know the difference?’ He goes, ‘Of course they do.’ I’m thinking back to when I called him Vince and clearly, I didn’t know the difference. I wasn’t aware there was a Vince and a Mr. McMahon. When I saw the full gospel tabernacle come in and they were supposed to have a memorial service, I don’t know if we were in San Antonio or Corpus Christi, I don’t know if he demanded that I leave, but it was more like, ‘Mick, if you’re not comfortable, you don’t have to be here.’ So, I took off and missed out on the [Chris Benoit] tragedy that unfolded.”
