Mick Foley shared a fun story revealing which WWE Hall of Famer he believes brought thumbtacks to pro wrestling

Appearing on Dr. Beau Hightower’s YouTube channel for spine adjustments, the WWE legend revealed a story from his days in WCW where he credited Diamond Dallas Page for bringing thumbtacks to wrestling.

In discussing a time he shared rooms with DDP and Steve Austin, Foley said:

“DDP was the first man to bring thumbtacks into professional wrestling. He didn’t wrestle in them, he thumbtacked the blinds to the wall of our $30 motel rooms. He didn’t like the faintest peep of light coming in, and also preferred to be naked in the room. We sat him down, Steve asked me if I would address the subject because I had the seniority as far as experience. So I said, ‘both Steve and I would feel more comfortable if you wore clothes in the room.’ I’ll never forget his response as long as I live, he just said, ‘but bro, they get in the way.’

“He couldn’t be bothered with those cumbersome shorts, or t-shirts, or whatever. It reminded me, and I say it during my shows, I suddenly had this great deal of empathy for how Travis, the older brother in the Disney beloved classic Old Yeller film. When he realized you got to take that dog out behind the barn and do what I have to do. So that’s what we did, and Steve and I dumped like four or five dozen cookies in Dallas’ bed. Waited for him to come back, completely naked, in total darkness. It took him about 15 seconds to realize he was sharing his bed that night.

“Let’s just say it was a crumby result, but it was a classic. It ended up with him bringing the cookies over to me, he’s jumping up and down on me. He’s grinding them into me going, ‘how do you like it?’ He’s dropping F-bombs, and I thought that’s a rhetorical question, but he actually gave me a chance to answer. I said, ‘you know Dallas, it’s not so much the cookies I mind, as it is your naked ass rubbing all over me.’ He just got up, and he was a defeated man.”

As previously mentioned, Mick Foley recently shared a reunion photo of himself with Terry Funk after visiting the hardcore legend at his assisted living facility in Texas.
