Mick Foley Says Calling Matches On-The-Fly Is Bygone Era In WWE

Mick Foley thinks calling matches in the ring is a thing of the past.

On his Foley Is Pod show, “The Hardcore Legend” spoke about wrestlers working matches spot-for-spot as planned before going into the ring being the preferred style these days, claiming calling it “on-the-fly” is no longer the norm.

Featured below is an excerpt from the show where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.

“I’ll tell you that I had three matches in the entirety of my career that were planned out from A-Z, and two of them were in the top 5 matches of my career.

“Although that wasn’t the way I preferred to do it, I had a lot of success when I did it that way. Honestly in today’s environment with the high-def and the cameras up in your face and having to do complex things, I don’t see how you could just call it in the ring. I think that’s a bygone era.”
