In an interview with Chicago Now to
promote his I Am Santa Claus movie, Mick Foley talked about possibly returning
to the WWE to once again portray the RAW General Manager. Here are
highlights:
On his recent return to WWE: “This was a big role for me
and the segment was a big stepping-stone for the PPV. I was nervous which is
healthy. I wouldn’t have gotten nervous if I was just doing a guess spot on the
show, but this was different. WWE realizes now that I can be called upon to add
to their shows in an important manner.”
On the WWE Network: “Well I think it’s a great tool for me
personality as it introduces a whole new generation of fans to who I was. They
can discover my multiple characters over the years and it’s great to see. When I
come back to WWE guys are coming up to me asking about their matches and it’s
very humbling. I think every wrestler needs to be a student of the game and
continue to evolve. I don’t think it’s a bad idea to look back at things that
worked 20 years ago and use them in their character or setting today. I have no
problem someone borrowing from the Mick Foley library.”
On returning as a RAW General Manager: “I think their
needs to be a balance of power. I think on screen the Authority has had too much
power for too long and it’s been a little heel heavy. I would hope I am on that
short list of candidates for that type of role if it does arise. And if it was
brought forth to me, I think I would do it. And with my personality I think I
can bring a fresh attitude towards that ‘higher power’.”
