WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley was interviewed by Sky Sports recently, during the interview Foley said that he thought his first run as WWF [WWE] Champion was a bad idea, even calling it a “mistake”.
You can see his comments on his first-ever WWF [WWE] win, and how it went up against Nitro below:
“It meant so much to me on a personal level and I think I’m right in saying the fans have voted it the best ever Raw moment, I’m excited to have been part of so many big matches on Raw.
But I saw me as champion as a mistake. I didn’t think it was a good idea. I always thought the challenger should be chasing the champion, and The Rock was a great champion.
But it turned out to be the best thing for everybody. We were going up against a massive live WCW show at the Georgia Dome in front of 40,000 people and nobody thought we’d be celebrating a big victory that night.”
