WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley appeared on Maven’s YouTube channel to discuss various topics, including how to safely use a microphone as a weapon in professional wrestling.
Foley said, “There really is a way to get the noise where there is contact, but most of that contact is made elsewhere. If you can hit someone’s head hard here [with your forearm], then that microphone is still going to make that sound, still going to thump, and it’s so much better than if you just had the microphone, because this way you get the big wind up. It’s the way you use it, but if it’s done correctly, you should bear — there are going to be plenty of other situations where you’re going to suffer, for your art, but the microphone should not be one of those.”
