On bonding with Foley over music: “I had read Foley’s original book and by reading his first book, I knew he was a big music fan.”

On Foley appearing in ROH at a discount: “He did me a favor, a huge favor because I remember he did an appearance with us and we did a double shot — I believe it was Dayton and Chicago — and he gave me a significant discount. Having the stamp of approval of Mick Foley, Ricky Steamboat, and the good wrestling we were doing, we were sort of off and running.”
