Mick Foley recently spoke with SI.com to promote Sunday’s WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view event. Here are the highlights.
On the Survivor Series PPV
“We question how Smackdown can be the ‘Land of Opportunity’ when they’re the ones giving an opportunity to their commissioner,” said Foley. “It seems like politics, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that we’ve had enough politics for a while. The Miz is now the IC champion, but how they don’t have a spot on their roster in this match for Miz or Dolph Ziggler is very telling. Stephanie McMahon and I believe we have the better roster and this is a chance for us to show it,” said Foley. “It will mean a lot for our guys to shine at the Survivor Series. I’m not taking anything away from AJ, who has had a career year, or Dean, who was a great champion for them, but I think we have the better team. It’s going to be a great match and hopefully a great night for Raw. Daniel is doing a fine job over there, but he seems to pick the people he likes,” said Foley. “This is something that we didn’t hit upon in our post-Raw ‘State of the Universe.’ I’m proud of the fact that most of the people on my team don’t like me. Jericho and Owens can’t stand me, Braun Strowman has made several thinly veiled threats at snuffing out my existence, and yet they’re still on the team.
On Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks at the Hell in a Cell PPV:
“The table didn’t break, but I thought it just looked more vicious,” noted Foley. “Sasha was bouncing, almost ricocheting off it, and I thought it looked more devastating going into the finish. People are used to a table breaking. Some people would say it didn’t go right, but I say it was even more effective. Clearly, people would have left on a high note if Sasha, whose hometown is Boston, had come out on top. But it didn’t happen, and that shouldn’t take away from the effort the women put in. I thought that was one of the top cell matches I’ve ever seen.”
