Mick Foley Admits He Doesn't Like Only Being Known For HIAC Bumps
WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley recently spoke with the folks from Fan Fest during an appearance at the Raleigh Supercon to promote his 20 Years Of Hell Tour.
During the interview, “The Hardcore Legend” admitted that it used to bother him that most fans only knew him for being the guy who came off the top of the Hell In A Cell cage in the match with The Undertaker at the WWE King Of The Ring 1998 pay-per-view.
“For a while, it kinda bothered me that that was the only thing people remembered me for,” said Foley. “But as is often the case with iconic characters whether it be Batman or the Fonz, after a while you stop regretting it and realize how lucky you are to be a part of something people remember so fondly. (With the anniversary) I’ve had a great time bringing that night back to life on stage and I enjoy talking about it with a lot of people who were not even born when that match took place 20 years ago.”
Foley went on to mention his Boiler Broom Brawl match against The Undertaker from 1996 as one that he is proud of.
“I think the 1996 Boiler Room Brawl was overlooked,” Foley said. “I think there’s a lot of good stuff in there. [It] could have done with more commentary as they left it blank there for 12 minutes. It was really odd, which I think made it come off as a little unusual, but I think that was what Mr. McMahon was looking for. So definitely check out the 1996 Boiler Room Brawl, as the Undertaker and I took a beating in that one.”
