RAW General Manager Mick Foley’s latest Facebook post looks at his road back to WWE and his longterm relationship with his boss, Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. Foley reveals that he actually met Stephanie McMahon backstage after his infamous Hell in a Cell 1998 match against The Undertaker. During the Attitude Era, he saw her evolve from “the girl with the shy smile” to the corporate executive we know today. Foley wrote:
“Stephanie will sometimes mention that she plays’ a bad guy on TV. I don’t think she’s playing. I think she has that rare ability to inhabit a character, to the point where she becomes it – so that when she’s good, she’s really good; but when she’s bad she’s even better.
The opening to #Raw on Monday felt important to both of us. For me, it was powerful, almost magical – the type of thing that made what had previously seemed like a random selection as GM in the minds of many fans suddenly make perfect sense. The type of thing that gets me excited about the future, might encourage WWE Superstars to take risks with their characters and spark new ideas among the creative team. It’s the type of thing that makes me glad I’m not sitting on my couch every Monday, watching someone else as GM, wondering “what if”.
