Mick Foley: I Don’t Think WWE Does A Lot Of Stipulation Matches, Which Is Good

Mick Foley believes WWE do not do a lot of stipulation matches.

Throughout his legendary wrestling career, Mick Foley would feature in many hardcore stipulation matches to the point it was directly associated with his legendary legacy within the industry. During his career, Foley has weathered some incredible bumps, including multiple off the top of Hell In A Cell and a brutal I Quit match with multiple steel chair shots to the head.

While speaking to Kron4 in a recent interview, Foley was asked about more stipulation matches being used in the wrestling industry, with Mick stating his belief that WWE do not do a lot of them.

“Well, I don’t think WWE does a lot of stipulations, which is good. It’s easy to just have a card loaded up with stipulation matches, but after a while they lose their importance. I think WWE does a good job of making the special matches special, not overdoing it. There’s no formula. Nobody hands you a textbook when you come in telling you the correct number of stipulations versus traditional matches. Even though I made my name doing the wild stuff, for the most part I had traditional — well, wild traditional — matches, and I enjoyed those too. No question about it, I had chances to do anything-goes, falls-count-anywhere matches. In Japan, we messed around with barbed wire and other things I wouldn’t suggest anybody do. But in the end, it comes down to whether or not you can have good matches with just about anybody, in any style.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Foley spoke about WWE’s recent SummerSlam Premium Live Event and who impressed him on the show. You can read more about that here.
