Mick Foley Discusses Favorite WWE Characters, One More Match, Noelle Wrestling

WWE Hall of Famer recently spoke with Rolling Stone to promote his film “I Am Santa Claus,” but touched on multiple topics related to wrestling. Below are some of the best answers from the interview.

Foley touched on who his favorite characters in WWE currently are:

“I like those really multidimensional characters like Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt. I’ve really seen Seth Rollins come on strong in the last few months. I actually love the Damien Mizdow character [laughs], he has become must-see TV. When I hear the words, “Dad, Mizdow’s on TV!” I move quicker than you would expect. I would be very remiss not to include Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro and some of the NXT guys on the rise like Sami Zayn.”

He was asked whether he feels the need to get back into the wrestling game inside the ring:

“No, I exceeded my wildest expectations in wrestling and really feel good about the legacy I left behind. I find that I get most of the same things I loved about performing in the ring when I do my live shows around the world. I also find it when I don the red suit and become an ambassador for Santa [laughs].”

Foley also discussed his daughter Noelle’s desire to get in the squared-circle as a wrestler:

“She was training and she loves it. I would like her to be a wrestling personality as opposed to a wrestler, just because as a dad I don’t want to see my daughter go through the things that I did. The absolute worst way to ensure that somebody will not listen to you is to try to force them, so I’m going to support her in whatever she does. I’m just trying to find the best possible training for her.”

Editor’s Note

Noelle definitely has the assets to make it into the business. Hopefully it works out for her.
