During an interview on Busted Open Radio, Old School WWF Legend Tony Atlas spoke very openly about his weird foot fetish, which – to be fair – is probably one of the worst kept secrets in all of professional wrestling.
Here’s what the former Mr. USA had to say:
“A lot of wrestlers have what they call a fetish. You saw where the girl punched me in the face 50 times?
I’m a very aggressive guy. My fetish, I have what you call a shoe fetish, but it’s non-s*xual.
What it does is humble me. I get a girl to play dominatrix, that puts me in my place, and it humbles me.
When I first started wrestling, the old timers used to say it ‘if you’re not strange, you’re in the wrong business’.”

Tony Atlas most famously wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation (1979-1984 & 1990-1991) and Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling (1992-1993) and later returned as a manager to the (renamed) WWE (2008-2010).
The biggest accomplishments of his career were winning the WWF Tag Team Championship with The Rock’s father Rocky Johnson in 1983, and getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006.
