Former WWE creative writer Freddie Prinze Jr. recently spoke on his podcast, “Wrestling with Freddie,” about a variety of professional wrestling topics including how Mick Foley had a great run as Mankind in the late 1990s with WWE.
Prinze Jr. said, “Just about everything they did with Mankind should have failed.” “The fact [is] that they pulled it off at such a high level with this dude — and credit to him, because the stories and writing are ridiculous. … It’s important people understand how fine a talent Mick Foley was.”
“How the hell do you feel sorry for a serial killer with a Leatherface mask on?” “But he did at the highest level, to where he came off vulnerable and scared and meek, and he just needs a friend and he looks the way he looks. To me, there are very few attraction wrestlers, … but the one that was the most fun … was always Mankind.”
