WWE Legend Shares That Even His Kids Couldn’t Believe That He Got to Work With The Rock

To work with The Rock, one must have a certain charisma. Otherwise, it’s going to be difficult to not get overshadowed by the man. In fact, all the Superstars who have worked with him know the pressure.

Now, WWE Legend Mick Foley, who was Rock’s tag team partner and his rival during his pro-wrestling tenure, revealed a different point-of-view. He revealed that even if he can accept working with The People’s Champ, his children do not quite see him there.

“Got to be The Rock. Can’t not be The Rock. There’s my children, the younger ones, are still astonished that The Rock ‘n’ Sock Connection.. they don’t really see their dad as being on that level and I guess most of the general public wouldn’t either.”

Well, there’s no reason to not believe Mick Foley can shine against The Rock. In fact, he did! While the Rock may have been the name most chanted during their matches, Foley’s efforts count significantly.

Some could even say that it was Foley’s efforts that helped The Rock gain the momentum, which skyrocketed him to the top.

The Rock vs Mick Foley at Royal Rumble 1999 is historic

The two legends started a rivalry in 1998 when The Rock was named the new corporate champion after Vince McMahon messed with Mick Foley. However, Foley would capture the WWE Title in January 1999.

After multiple attempts, The Rock finally convinced Foley for a rematch and this time, it was an “I Quit” match. Now, the buildup to the match was great. However, the match itself had to be greater.

Both of them ensured an entertaining match like never seen before. Prior to the match, Foley cut a promo where he screamed “I Quit” to imitate what The Great One would say.

Coming to the match, it was extremely intense. Foley put up one hell of a performance, which was evidence of why he’s a legend. He went through cables, was handcuffed, and the Rock thrashed him with 11 chair shots. However, Foley wasn’t ready to quit. He tried to get up, but passed out. At this moment, the arena sound system burst out with Foley yelling “I Quit”.

Later it turned out that Rock used a recording from Foley’s promo, and played that to bring the match to an end.
