WWE Raw General Manager Mick Foley recently spoke to Mike Jones of DC 101 to promote this Sunday’s Survivor Series pay-per-view and more. You can check out the full interview here, along with some highlights below.
This year’s 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!”
The women’s match at Survivor Series: “I think this is the kind of match where somebody could have a career moment, that it could make somebody. Smackdown feels like they have the better women’s division because they’ve featured more people. We feel like we have the better women’s division because we have the two women, Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair, make such a statement by headlining RAW and main eventing Hell In A Cell. Either way it’s going to be a great night for women’s wrestling.”
Goldberg’s upcoming match with Brock Lesnar: “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!”
