Mick Foley became the least popular man in the WWE when he started using Mr Socko.
The WWE Hall of Famer used the Mandible Claw as his finishing move. However, it wasn’t until he drew a face on a sock and used that instead that he became the Mick Foley we all know and love.
Mick Foley recently spoke with MuscleManMalcolm. He was asked where he found the socks used for Mr Socko and the former WWE Champion revealed he used to use his normal socks before he became the second-least popular man in the WWE.
“Well, originally, we thought the sock was a one-and-done deal. It was just whatever sock I had in my bag. I used that original sock for about two weeks.” Mick Foley said.
“Then I realized I was running a close second to being the least popular guy in the dressing room—Al Snow being the least popular. So, I made an adjustment and started using a clean sock every night. We would raid every Walmart, Kmart, and Target on Long Island for a period of time!”
Mick Foley On Travis Scott Using ‘Cactus Jack’ Name
Mick Foley doesn’t have an issue with Travis Scott using the name “Cactus Jack”.
The rapper founded Cactus Jack Records in 2017 and now manages a number of different musical acts. However, Mick Foley doesn’t mind and sees it as a big compliment.
“Anything that keeps the name alive is fine by me. If someone wants to Google Cactus Jack and Travis’s name comes up first, mine’s going to be right behind it. I don’t mind. I know a lot of people do, but I don’t.”
“Like when I see the Mandible Claw being used on TV—whereas other wrestlers might mind, I don’t. If Travis Scott wants to bring a little more love to the name Cactus Jack, that’s fine by me, because it trickles down to me eventually. It’s definitely a big compliment.”
“For the record, though, he’s got to say he named Cactus Jack after his dad too. Okay, Travis, if that’s what you want us to believe.”
Travis Scott will continue his pro-wrestling connection as he will supply the new theme song for WWE RAW when it debuts on Netflix. Scott is also scheduled to appear on the show on January 6.
