Ric Flair Thinks Kevin Owens Is The New Mick Foley

Ric Flair shared his perspective recently on To Be The Man regarding which current wrestler deserves to carry the mantle of Mick Foley (via Wrestling Inc). Many comparisons have been made between Foley and Sami Zayn, but Flair thinks Kevin Owens is a better candidate to continue Foley’s legacy of putting his own safety on the line in matches. Flair noted that Owens takes hits and makes moves that nobody else in WWE will, a characteristic that makes him exceptionally Foley-esque. You can read a highlight from Flair and watch the full episode below.

On what makes Kevin Owens the current Mick Foley: “Kevin does crazy shit. I said, ‘I hope they’re paying you,’ he said ‘they are,’ I said, ‘good, don’t be afraid, don’t be shy to ask because nobody else is going to do that shit.'”
