WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley has seen and done it all in the world of professional wrestling.
The former three-time WWE Champion and New York Times bestselling author was recently asked about his favourite current WWE Superstars and the Long Island native wasted no time in sharing his answer.
Speaking in a recent TikTok interview, Foley was quick to declare that Becky Lynch and World Heavyweight Champion, Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins are his current favourite WWE Superstars.
Mick Foley Names Lynch And Rollins As Current Favourites
Foley did not elaborate on his choices due to the quick fire nature of the interview, but has previously spoken of his close relationship with Lynch including talking ‘The Man’ out of leaving WWE at one point in time:
“I remember giving her two piece of advice. I said, be patient, be ready. And I relayed to her a story about me being in the Memphis studio. And I was forbidden from talking because I had some of the tell-tale sounds of a New Yorker, which wasn’t good, especially because Gary Young and I just turned babyface in Memphis. The crowd would have turned on a babyface New Yorker in a heartbeat.
But what happened is Gary was a good promo guy, he fumbled a little bit. Lance Russell hands me the microphone and I was ready with stuff and cut a pretty good promo.
So with that in mind, that’s what I told Becky. And then I also told her not to, you know, not to give up on the independent scene. It might refresh her and you know, remind her what she loves. And I said, if you don’t mind me asking, like what did you make last year? I won’t tell you what, what she made, I’ll just tell you my reaction was, oh, well, you’ve got to stay in WWE”.
Foley recently outlined the similarities between Rollins and WWE Hall Of Famer Edge during a recent edition of Foley is Pod.
Foley was quick to praise both Edge and Seth Rollins’ ability to make the most of out whatever creative they were given:
“He reminds me of Edge. At the peak of Edge’s character prowess, where he just bit into everything, he did it with gusto.
It didn’t matter how silly it was, he was going to make the very most out of it. In the beginning, the new Seth Rollins seemed to be a little silly, and he just kept going with it, believing it. I don’t watch wrestling nearly as much as I used to, but I watch it enough to know that this guy is at a point where it’s the perfect marriage of in-ring talent and character.”
