JR revealed that Vince McMahon first used the phrase to describe Foley’s Mankind character following a backstage interview segment.

“That’s where the famous line that came from Vince, where we got to a certain stopping point in our beginning, middle, and end, and we hear this voice.

“It’s unmistakably Vince saying, ‘This is good s***.’ So, at that point, Mick’s made. He just sold the old man. I don’t know what his thoughts would be if you asked him today, but at that point in time, Conrad [Grilling JR host Conrad Thompson], he’d turned a corner because he got the blessing of the most powerful man in all of pro wrestling.”

JR also revealed that Vince opposed his decision to sign Foley back in 1996. However,  by the end of the interview segment, the WWE Chairman was a believer.

“Vince being there was a surprise, pleasant surprise, and then when we were done he was ecstatic. He saw then what I felt, because he wasn’t familiar with Mick to any degree.”
