Mick Foley Claims He Wanted To Be ‘Son of Abyss’ In TNA Wrestling

Mick Foley had an idea for his role in TNA Wrestling and how he could work with Abyss as a new character: Abyss’ son. In an interview with Kayfabe Friends Commentary (via Fightful), Foley described his idea for the ‘Son of Abyss’ and how it would work.

He said: “The one character that got away from me. Oh man. This was money. The smell of money is still around. This is at a time where Hulk Hogan came into IMPACT Wrestling and took Abyss under his wing. 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…Son of Abyss! That’s me. Son of Abyss. I just imagined Abyss and his secret partner working against two of Eric Bischoff’s guys. I would be the secret partner coming down in the Abyss mask. I just imagined Eric Bischoff in the middle of the ring going, ‘Son of Abyss! Son of Abyss!’ With all due respect to Austin 3:16, Steve, you’re darn lucky the Son of Abyss shirts never hit the market.“
