To those if you who don't know, Mick Foley is God... apparently.
Sacreligious as it sounds, it's how many professional wrestling fans have classified him. In a career spanning three decades, Foley (also known as Dude Love, Cactus Jack and Mankind) has become a living legend in the industry, for his kindness, wit, and uncanny ability to take a tremendous beating.
Among the highlights, he plunged five meters off a towering cage onto an announcer's table, was thrown into ropes made of barbed wire that were connected to pyrotechnics, and was bodyslammed on top of countless nails, thumbtacks, and if he was lucky, solid concrete.
If professional wrestling isn't your forte, chances are you may have come across Mick's other work. His autobiographies have topped the New York Times bestseller's list, he's written children's books, worked as a voice actor, contributed to several charities, and has even dabbled in political activism for the US Democrats.
Now he's touring Australia with his latest venture - a stand-up comedy show entitled "Good God Almighty" (continuing with the sacreligious theme).
Humor and wrestling have intersected on several occassions for Foley, which he elaborates on in this extensive interview with SBS Online.
