Mick Foley speaks about what he feels is one of his biggest contributions to the wrestling industry.
On the latest episode of Foley is Pod, Mick spoke of his most significant contributions to the industry. He believes he changed the way main event wrestlers are perceived and helped establish the top stars come in different forms, like Bray Wyatt and Kevin Owens.
“Probably expanding people’s ideas of what a big star could look like. That was probably the biggest,”
“I think I expanded — opened the door for guys to follow, like Kevin Owens, like Bray Wyatt, who might not have gotten a look as a star. I’d like to think my lasting contribution is that I think I treated people well when I was on top, and that goes back to remembering how I was treated in Memphis.”
