Have a Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks/Nightmare Fuel
- Mick said, while losing his ear was bad, what was nightmare fuel for him (and is frightening on its own) was the circumstances of the incident. First off, his ear coming off was due to the ring ropes being replaced with elevator cable, which provided so much tension on his head between the ropes the incident was unavoidable. Second, him having to watch a part of his body be tossed in the trash by a nurse who had the temerity to ask him in German, with what comes off rather sociopathic level disregard for his feelings, if wrestling wasn't supposed to be all fake. As he recalls it, that disturbed him far more than the loss of the ear itself.
- When he was nearly responsible for fatal injury to Terry Funk with a flaming chair. By his own admission, it was utterly horrifying to think he might have inflicted fatal injury on a man he looked up to since his own childhood.
