Ross welcomes Mick Foley to the show.
Foley mentions that he recently held an eBay auction with all proceeds going to the Puerto Rico disaster relief effort. He was amazed by how many wrestlers came forward offering something for the auction such as Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins, The Rock and more. They managed to raise over $20,000.
Ross mentions that it’s been nearly 20 years since the iconic Hell in A Cell match between Foley and The Undertaker. Foley can hardly believe it’s been that long, but he’s planning a 20 city North American tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of that match. He hopes that he can recruit Ross for a couple of those shows and he also hopes to secure The Undertaker and Jerry Lawler for some of the shows as well.
Foley informs that he has finally accepted how big of a roll that match played in his career. Unfortunately the bout certainly took a physical toll on him as well. He was diagnosed with a concussion and was in the hospital for several hours that night after the match, and he says he wasn’t ‘right’ for months after that night.
Ross recalls really going to bat for Foley prior to his debut in WWE. Ross was convinced that Foley could help WWE and McMahon finally gave in, partially because he assumed Foley would fail and this would show Ross that working as the head of talent relations could be a thankless job. Foley certainly didn’t fail, and the Mankind character played a major role in swinging the Monday Night Wars in WWE’s favour.
