Is Sami Zayn this generation’s Mick Foley? Triple H certainly believes there is a case to be made.
Like Foley, Zayn has earned the adoration of fans, with his near-year-long angle with the Bloodline being considered one of the best stories in recent memory.
Speaking at the WWE Elimination Chamber post-show press conference, Triple H compared Zayn to the three-time WWF Champion. He said,
“[Sami Zayn is] just a really special performer that in some ways, not in all ways, but in some ways reminds me so much of a Mick Foley in that his connection to a crowd.
“One minute can make you laugh, the next minute you can have so much sympathy for him. He’s just, he connects on such an emotional level that I think it’s hard to put it in words and that makes it something really special.”
