Mick Foley Quotes

When I went to WWE, the level of work I put out every night was just balls to the wall.

It started with Dragon Gate USA, where I started as a guy on the pre-show and wasn't promised anything. I kept coming and doing what I do and ended up on the main show and eventually won their championship.

My home is at the WWE. I truly do love performing. The atmosphere here isn't like anything else. It's truly where I belong.

I've always done a lot of stunts in the past, and I sound like I'm tooting my own horn here, but I've always impressed the people I've worked with, and they've let me do more and more.

My WWE career has been amazing. It took a lot of time for me to get here, and you never stop paying your dues.

People ask me how I am such a good heel, but I don't know; I just try to be me and go and do what I need to do to get the job done on any show that I am on and achieve the work that is set up in front of me.

For me, I had that reputation as being a guy that did a lot of stuff early on in my career, but to me, at the time I needed to do that in order to be noticed. Eventually, my style evolved and started making it to where every match wasn't about a dive outside of the ring.

When I was first started, when I was eighteen, I wrestled for a company that had a very hardcore fanbase and demanded a lot from its wrestlers. So, every single match, I would do every move possible. I would land on the concrete floor; I would land really high on my head just to try to impress the fans.

I loved DDT for the freedom; I was able to tell the wackiest and wildest of stories but also test myself as an athlete.

I reached a point where nothing scares me in this industry, mainly because I grew up in it. My earliest memory is 4 years old, getting in a wrestling ring.

I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and not everyone is going to approve of me being in WWE, but I guarantee every Thursday on 'Smackdown' you're going to get the most prepared and the most passionate broadcast that I'm capable of giving you.

I do this maneuver, my finishing maneuver. It's called the 054, and it's a 450 splash, but it's going backwards. I know my opponents aren't going to be thrilled to hear this, but I don't know what I'm doing up there. I literally close my eyes, and I just jump, and my body just takes over, and thankfully I haven't hurt anybody.

If you're not frightened that you might fail, you'll never do the job. If you're frightened, you'll work like crazy.

I'll never stop working. I want to die in the saddle. A day is wasted for me if I haven't done something even mildly creative.

The way is open to everybody who has the will, the ambition, the respect for work, and the IT.

You've got to have gumption. You've got to be willing to stand up on the stage for no money for ten years.

Luck is a dividend of sweat.

If you work it will lead to something. It's the people who do all of the work all the time who eventually catch on to things.

If you stick to your work it will take care of you somehow.

I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent. And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working. While the other guy's eatin'? I'm working. While the other guy's making love, I mean, I'm making love, too. But I'm working really hard at it.

Put your head down and work hard. Never wait for things to happen, make them happen for yourself through hard graft and not giving up.

Drive will take you much farther than talent ever could.

The harder you work, the luckier you are, and I worked like hell.

A champion is someone who sweats to exhaustion, even when no one else is watching

While others were out partying, I was training. While they were out dancing at the clubs, I was training... and training... and training.
