WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently spoke with Rolling Stone to promote his new WWE Network reality show, Holy Foley.
Foley has had a lot of great moments with The Rock on WWE television. When asked if he stays in touch with The Rock, Foley explained that their daughters keep in better touch than they do.
“What’s funny is our daughters keep in better touch than we do. Like I’ll hear my daughter say, ‘The Rock’s going to be on Raw today,’ and it’s a complete secret. ‘His daughter just texted me.’ I get a message from him every once in awhile. And I’ve got a great rock and roll Rock story. When I met his girlfriend Lauren, she said, ‘You and I have already met. You were at my 13th birthday party. My father is Sib Hashian, the drummer from Boston.’ I happened to be with a friend of mine on the way to Fenway Park, and he said, ‘We just got to stop off at a buddy of mine’s house.’ So we’re forever bound by the fact that the mother of The Rock’s child turned 13 with me in attendance.”
Foley’s Hell in a Cell match with The Undertaker at the 1998 King of the Ring PPV is well-known, and Foley said that he gets asked about it by fans often.
Oh, yeah. I have been Bill Murray in Groundhog Day for 18 years. Every day at least one person will walk up to me and ask, “Did it hurt?” You try to have fun with it and gently remind people that you had matches where your front tooth wasn’t lodged in your nostril. But it packs an emotional wallop. Without giving too much away, there is a very emotional scene on the show where I confront the actual cell in the WWE warehouse. I got very choked up. It made no logical sense to get so emotional about a steel object but it just felt like part of me, almost like seeing a family member that I didn’t know was still around.
Foley also talked about Shane McMahon and more. You can read the entire interview here.
