Mick Foley reveals character idea he had come up with while working for TNA Wrestling
During an interview with Kayfabe Friends Wrestling Podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley revealed a character idea he had pitched while working for TNA Wrestling…
“The one character that got away from me, oh man—this was money. You can almost smell it. The smell of money is still around.
This was at a time when Hulk Hogan came into Impact Wrestling and he took Abyss under his wing, right? And I wanted Hulk to have a man-to-man talk with Abyss and tell him that the way he had of expressing his love 18 years earlier had actually resulted in a child—who would be revealed to be the son of Abyss. That’s me, the son of Abyss. Okay. And I just imagined Abyss and a secret partner working against two of Eric Bischoff’s guys. I would be the secret partner, come down in the Abyss mask, win that thing. And I just imagine Eric Bischoff in the middle of the ring going, “Son of Abyss! Son of Abyss!”
And that’s why I have to say, with all due respect to Austin 3:16—Steve, you’re darn lucky the Son of Abyss shirts never hit the market.”
