Mick Foley is known for his brutal matches and unbreakable spiritbut during his appearance on Episode 33 of the No-Contest Wrestling podcast with OShea Jackson Jr. and TJ Jefferson, he reminded everyone that his heart might be even bigger than his legacy.
The former WWE Champion took a moment to reflect on what wrestling cost him physically, emotionallyand literallyrevealing the incredible story of how he no longer owns his own WWE title belt.
It started with a discussion about memorabilia and what remains from Foleys legendary career. I dont have my championship belt. Foley then detailed the titles journeyand how it ended up far from his hands.
But when SabuFoleys longtime peer and ECW trailblazerfaced serious medical issues, Foley stepped up. Despite not being known for self-promotion or bragging, Foley made it clear this was one of the proudest things hes ever done.
Foley was contacted by Fumi Saito, a longtime journalist for Japanese wrestling magazines, who asked if he had anything he could donate for auction.
Foley explained the auction wasnt a big online affair. It was small and in-personmeaning it didnt fetch nearly what the title would go for today.
Still, the value of that moment cant be measured in dollarsand Foley knows it.
He also shared how much that gesture meant to Sabu, who reportedly told people later on that Foley had done more for him than anyone else.
Then, with a perfect mix of self-deprecation and heart, Foley ended the story with a line that brought the house downand perfectly summed up who he is.
The room erupted in laughterbut the sentiment stuck. Foleys beat-up body, missing teeth, and lack of hardware havent changed what he stands for: loyalty, sacrifice, and the kind of generosity that made wrestling better than he found it.
