[WWE] News on Rock & Foley

Archive

– In a recent interview on WWE.com, The Rock mentioned that he never wanted to do a “dream match” with Shawn Michaels. Heat between the two superstars goes back to 1985 when Rock was 13 and went after Shawn at a show due to how HBK acted in the lockeroom. In 1997, the story continues, as HBK said to HHH that “anyone but The Rock” should be in the main event vs. Austin at Mania XV.

– Foley’s last indie date was the 11/19 tribute to Starcade where he refereed the Terry Funk vs. Dustin Rhodes match. After that, per his WWE deal, he’s allowed flexibility in outside projects. He turned down a national radio gig since he thought four hours a day was a bit much, and he’d rather spend that time with his family.
