Mick Foley Predicts Success for Cesaro and Tyson Kidd

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley tuned into the first “Smackdown” of 2015 on Jan. 2, and was very impressed with one of WWE’s tag teams. With up-and-comers The Ascension in action that night, it is likely not the team most fans would expect. “The Hardcore Legend” had high praise for the newly formed team of Cesaro and Tyson Kidd, who defeated Los Matadores on the show.

Below are Foley’s words, courtesy of his Facebook page:

FUTURE CHAMPIONS!

“I know they’ve been teaming up for a few weks, but tonight’s ?#?Smackdown? was the first time I’ve seen Cesaro and Tyson Kidd – WWE together as a tag-team, I know this may seem like a premature evaluation, but based soley on this one match, I am going to boldly predict that Kidd and Cesaro will be the ?#?WWE? tag team of the year for 2015. Remember, I’m the guy who boldly predicted that the waves of ?#?SandowMania? were going to one day crash down upon our shores…and so they have! Don’t even try pointing to that double-loss on WWE Monday Night Raw either – because the legend of #SandowMania is going to outlive us all, daddy!”

“Sure, they were probably just thrown together by creative. But sometimes, that’s how great teams are formed. Just ask Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, who were put together on a whim for the sake of a house show run in 1997, and became one of the most entertaining and successful units in pro-wrestling history.”

“Given the chance, and some time to gel, I see big things – and great matches – in this team’s future. Holler if you hear me.”

Editor’s Note

Certainly a bold prediction from Foley about Cesaro and Tyson Kidd. Still, I can see Cesaro turning it around similar to how Sandow has turned himself around. Cesaro’s run in The Real Americans was tremendous, but unfortunately cut short.
