Mick Foley recently spoke with Mike Jones of DC 101 to promote Sunday’s WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view event. Here are the highlights.
On Survivor Series:
“Survivor Series was the one big PPV that has struggled to remain relevant. All of a sudden, this year with this format, man, the 5 on 5 matches take on an entirely new meaning. They’re not just random teams thrown together, this is a battle for domination. When people ask me if this rivalry is real, I’m like, if you don’t think this is real, you don’t know the McMahon children. It’s very real!”
On Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg:
“I think when Brock squared off against Goldberg in 2004, Brock was leaving to try his hand in the NFL and Goldberg’s contract was up and they didn’t have the intensity that had been the hallmark of their career. I think for 12 years those guys have wondered ‘what if, what if we brought the intensity that night’. I think they’ll make up for it, maybe too much intensity!”
On Vader to go into the WWE HOF in 2017:
“Leon broke the news to me personally a couple weeks ago and I was devastated. I talked to the highest people in the highest places in WWE about it. Leon is a guy we knew that sooner or later would go into the HOF and I just hope that given the news of his health that we would make it sooner rather than later.”
