Stevie Ray – ‘Jade Cargill Is A Unicorn’ + Mick Foley Talks Mankind Character

Stevie Ray says Jade Cargill is one of those rare talents that comes along with star power.

Speaking on a recent edition of “The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling” podcast, Ray opined on Cargill’s “wow factor” and why he considers her a “unicorn.”

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On Jade Cargill being a ‘unicorn’: “There are some people that are unicorns. And for anybody out there that don’t understand what that means — you can see 50,000 horses, you can see 50,000 mules, you can see 50,000 cows, bulls, but how often do you see a unicorn? People will pay money just to see the unicorn. It doesn’t have to do anything. It just has to exist, because it’s a myth. How often do you get to see a unicorn? Only in your dreams, and that goes back to what you’re saying – the ‘wow’ factor.”

On Cargill’s star potential: “We got a lot of women on this show. You got beautiful women on the [podcast] show also, but in the wrestling business or on television, period, these kind of people don’t exist … When I saw that [Cargill signed to WWE], I was like, ‘Okay, they’re probably put her down there to school, the training facility, and train her the way they want her to work. We’re going to make some money off of this.’”

Mick Foley recently appeared in a new video for WWE where he recalled how he first thought his Mankind character was intended for someone else.

You can check out some highlights from the interview below:

On first seeing the Mankind character: “I still remember my first meeting with Mr. McMahon, when he showered me a piece of artwork that was on the table. I thought that it was artwork designed for a new character for Max Payne. It looked like The Man In The Iron Mask, the Alex Dumas story later portrayed in the motion picture by Leonardo DiCaprio. It was probably an hour into our talk before he showed me that illustration and said it was for me. My first thought was, won’t this cover up my facial expressions? Mr. McMahon said, ‘It’s going to augment them.’”

On deciding to go full-bore with the role: “At the end of those conversations, I thought, I’m going to give this a try. Not only a try, I’m going to put everything I have into this character and I’m going to try and make it as different as I can from Cactus Jack. There will be a little carry over in the move set, but I’m going to have him speak differently, act differently, walk differently, feel differently.”
