On a recent edition of WWE’s “The Bump,” WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley lavished praise on Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley for her incredible work this year and lauded Dominik Mysterio for stepping out of his father’s shadow and carving out his own path.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On fans chanting “Mami” during Ripley and Jax’s brawl: “I was just tuning in to a pull-apart with Nia Jax and Rhea Ripley and I heard 15,000 people chanting, ‘Mami!’ I was like, ‘Now I remember why I love this stuff.’ It’s just great.”
On Ripley surpassing his expectations: “I’ve been a real big proponent. As high as I had hoped for her, I could’ve never seen this coming. This is one of the great characters of the modern generation.”
On Dominik Mysterio’s progress: “You can only deny a talent like Dirty Dom for so long. I’ve seen them come and go, and I’ve seen them die…and Dirty Dom is a kid I’ve known since he was 4, 5 years old. It can’t be easy growing up with a deadbeat dad like Rey Mysterio. I talked to Rey and he admitted to me he was a deadbeat dad. He still owes me $5 from the time I met him in ECW in 95.”
