Mick Foley says Randy Orton has returned to WWE “better than ever.”
Speaking on a recent edition of WWE’s “The Bump,” the WWE Hall of Famer opined on Orton’s time off and his feud with “The Viper” in 2004.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On Randy Orton’s time off and return: “A year-and-a-half on the shelf for a guy who loves WWE as much as he does could not have been easy. [He] came back better than ever.”
On his feud with Orton in 2004: “I was so flattered to hear that that match we had in 2004 was still his personal favorite. He’s got a treasure trove of match classics, but there was something special about that night. He was a young talent on the precipice of greatness. I learned along the way that there’s no one big break, it’s a series of minor breaks. But, certainly, that feud got him off, started him up a path. I loved to work with people who wanted to have great matches. I saw something in Randy, I really did. I’m glad that I made that suggestion because that 12-week period I spent working closely with Randy, I think that may have been the best 12-week period of my career.”
