Jim Cornette Criticizes Mick Foley for “Penis” Spot, Foley Responds

At a show last night for OTT (Over The Top Wrestling) in Dublin, Ireland, Joey Ryan and Mick Foley did this spot:

Of course, this got back to Jim Cornette, who is well known for his unhinged rants about “comedy wrestling.”

I love @RealMickFoley , sad to see a real star stooping to give credibility to an asswipe nobody like this. Sorry, have to tell the truth. https://t.co/VYwXaA8Y5Y

I've liked lot of people I've said no to. Star like Mick doing bullshit like this makes people think it's OK. It's not. Sorry @RealMickFoley https://t.co/QLiZElShNC

How in the world did we sell the Gardens out without barbed wire, thumbtacks, invisible hand grenades or me grabbing Randy's dick???? https://t.co/CwWZcGGKnr

Meanwhile 2,200 people in the National Stadium, and almost all of the OTT locker room were watching this and having a great time.

Apparently, most of the OTT locker room should be in the seats too, cause they're bigger marks than the fans. https://t.co/r7QkPNnY2p

Mick Foley responded to Cornette and other miserable people who are seemingly furious about this spot on Facebook:

So last night in Dublin, there was an incident involving a case of mistaken identity, and a leapfrog that turned an innocent attempt at a mandible claw into something far, FAR more sinister! I know Joey Ryan’s #DickFlip has divided the wrestling Community in a way we previously thought only John Cena or Roman Reigns could! It has become the #IWC equivalent of the Trump/Hillary election – ending friendships, even turning brother against brother…brother! Son against Daddy…daddy! It’s quite possible Jim Cornette will never speak to me again after seeing this photo – a solid 28 year friendship over in a matter of seconds! So why, you may ask, would I participate in such a potentially divisive penile palming? The answer is simple – look at the smiles. JUST LOOK AT THE SMILES! There is a smile, literally on EVERY face! In the end, isn’t that what it’s all about? If applying the mandible claw to Joey Ryan’s genitalia last night was wrong…I don’t want to be right!
Please let me know how YOU feel about this gripping problem!

Let me see, in a career that has included
1) A Wrestlemania moment with Festus and Snoop Dogg
2) Wrestling Jonathan Coachman with a leprechaun for a referee
3) Refereeing a bra and panties match
4) Returning to WWE after 3 years to do a “This is Your Life” with John Cena that was intentionally bad
5) Bringing a birthday party clown to a hospital to cheer up a billionaire hooked up to a heart monitor and a respirator for a bruised ankle
6) Doing a patty-cake elbow with Al Snow as our BEST tag-team move
7) Playing Twister with Vince McMahon
8) Using a sock puppet as a finishing move
9) Using a bag of popcorn as a weapon
10) Pinning The Rock underneath a pallet of beer kegs
11) Making a snow angel out of popcorn debris
And dozens…and dozens of goofy moments, some people are actually ANGRY about this? Think back to the fall of 1999, when, at the peak of my popularity, with “Have a Nice Day” high in the best-seller list, I actually lost a match to Val Venis with a testicular claw. If I could go back in time and no-sell that claw, and convince Val to take a bump for me, I would!

Are there really people out there who think I was FORCED to do the spot with Joey – or even put in an uncomfortable position where I didn’t feel like I could say no? Come on!

After being around for 32 years, I can honestly say that the OTT show last night in Dublin had one of the most enjoyable atmospheres I have ever been around. Fans saw a 4+ hour show and left happy and energized – a tribute not only to the wrestlers who worked their butts off to entertain the fans, but to the booking of the card, which did a very good job of mixing up the flying, brawling, matwork and bumps with a few doses of the strange, surreal and downright bizarre. I was happy to be part of it – and am pretty sure my frienship with Jim Cornette will endure in spite of it.
