Once again, WWE Hardcore Legend Mick Foley gave his take on what happened between Triple H and Daniel Bryan from this past Monday’s Raw on his Facebook page: <\/p>\n
\u201cFOR ME, RAW WAS JUST RIGHT<\/p>\n Following the brutal beat down of Daniel Bryan by Triple H on Monday\u2019s ?#?RAW?, I received many questions on social media, asking if I thought WWE had gone too far, with many pointing out the beating\u2019s resemblance to the one I took at the hands of The Rock in the 1999 Royal Rumble. No, I don\u2019t think they went too far. I think they went just far enough.<\/p>\n A few weeks ago, when Daniel Bryan challenged Triple H, and tried to engage the crowd in a \u201cYes\u201d chant, it seemed half-hearted at best, to the point where I said out loud, in the Foley living room, \u201che\u2019s trying to sell a match that no one wants to see.\u201d Well, following Monday night, that match has gone from being simply the obstacle Daniel Bryan had to hurdle to get to the main event into a match I now I feel like I need to see.<\/p>\n Yes, it was brutal, yes it was tough to watch at certain points \u2013 but it served notice to all of those who had forgotten, that Triple H was one of the best bad guys of his generation \u2013 and Stephanie, with her recent work on the microphone, has become an absolutely compelling authority figure \u2013 as effective as I\u2019ve ever seen her; seemingly channeling her inner Vince. I\u2019ve known Stephanie a long time, and somewhere in the McMahon\/Helmsley home, she still has the pot-holder my daughter made for her many, many years, ago. No matter what happens in business, she is someone I will always consider a friend. But man, do I want to see her get what she has coming to her? Maybe a WWE Diva who might happen to have a close connection to Daniel Bryan to smack the taste out of her mouth. Any candidates?<\/p>\n Imagine me as Goldilocks, surveying the lay of the WWE land, looking at angles from the past \u2013 far past, and recent past, trying to figure out which one is the perfect fit when it comes to selling a match \u2013 really, truly turning a match into something that the WWE Universe feels they need to see. That Rumble I did with Dwayne The Rock Johnson with the 11 unprotected chair shots? Too much. Most of what we see in the PG era? No matter how good the wrestling (and much of it is really, really good) \u2013 it\u2019s just a little too soft. But what I saw on Monday night? As brutal as it may have been, as tough as it may have been to watch, I thought it was just right.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mick Foley is back in the news, this time giving his thoughts on the Daniel Bryan beat down segment from Monday Night Raw<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2738,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[48],"class_list":["post-7295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-wwe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7295"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7295\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7296,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7295\/revisions\/7296"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crazymax.org\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
