WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley appeared on the Two-Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast to discuss various topics, including his match with fellow Hall of Famer Bret “The Hitman” Hart during Shotgun Saturday Night.
Foley said, “I don’t know if I’ve seen that or if I have, it was 25 years ago. What made that one interesting is that Bret is one of the best. I mean, he’s ‘The Best There is, The Best There was, and The Best There Ever Will Be.’ The cool thing about that is, he was so good that it’s not interpreted as a joke or braggadocio. He has those type of qualifications. He asked me if there’s anything I wanted to do, and I just said, ‘Bret, the idea of this show is it’s really rough around the edges, why don’t we just have a rough match? Just go out there and see what happens.’ Aside from me, I believe, messing up a Neckbreaker it was, it was a really good match.”
On how he wishes he could have had long programs with Hart and Shawn Michaels:
“I will say one of the biggest disappointments in my career is that I did not have a chance to wrestle either Bret or Shawn. Shawn and I had our, you know, our first singles match ever at Mind Games. It was one for the record books or one for the sake of history. But it wasn’t a hot feud. It was like a cold match, and then we never got the chance to do it on the grandest stage of them all. But I wish I’d been given that opportunity, or to wrestle The Undertaker at WrestleMania.”
