Mick Foley visited the set of “Girl Meets World”, the upcoming spin-off of the 90’s television series “Boy Meets World”. Foley posted about the experience on his Facebook page along with this photo.
BOY MEETS GIRL
Look, I’ll be honest: I miss the days before technology became part of my life – where I was pretty much unreachable on the road; where keeping in touch meant pulling over every couple hundred miles and placing calls from a pay phone, or actually (believe it or not) writing a card or letter from the road.
Sure, there were times when a text would have come in handy, like back in 1994, where “Lost my ear in Munich…WTF..see you in a few days” would have been very helpful.
But despite the fact that I was dragged, pretty much kicking and screaming into the brave new world of technology, I’ve got to admit there are times when it’s very helpful, and sometimes downright amazing in it ability to allow friends to find each other through social media. I really enjoy those interactions that strike viewers as unlikely, where alternate entertainment universes seem to collide – where an interaction seems to figuratively blow people’s minds, and make them say “how the heck do they know each other”
Well, in my history of mind-blowing interactions, none strikes people as odder, or cuter than my friendship with Danielle Fishel. Yeah, you hear me – I’m friends with Topanga!
How is this possible, you might ask. Well, back in 1999, I was a guest star on “Boy Meets World”, in a little classic episode called “For Love and Apartments”. I enjoyed myself thoroughly on the show, was made to feel very much at home, and even exchanged numbers with Danielle – having no idea of the cultural significance of a phone call from Topanga, who a good portion of American teenagers had a major crush on. So, I kept in touch for a couple years, got her tickets to WWE events in LA a couple times…and then time just kind of marched on, phone numbers changed, lives went different directions, and Daniel and I lost touch.
Until Twitter lent a helping hand! A considerate Foley follower was kind enough to point out a tweet from Danielle where she mentioned that my guest appearance in 1999 was one of the ones the cast enjoyed most. I sent her a message thanking her, she sent one back, and BAM! – just like that, for the past three years, this unlikely friendship has been making thousands of people simultaneously go “awww” every time we interact.
After all these years – 14 of them, I finally got a chance to see Danielle again, on the set of her new show “Girl Meets World”. As you can see from the photo, she looks amazing – like time just stopped in 1999 and left her looking exactly the way you knew and loved her. She could not have been nicer or more generous with her time, made me and two friends feel like we were the most important people in the world, and as I walked away from the set, I completely “got” why half the American teen population had their first crush on Topanga. Check out her new show, “Girl Meets World”, premiering soon – you’ll fall in love all over again.
