Mick Foley thinks highly of Daniel Bryan. And he thinks what’s best for business for WWE right now is that Bryan help put Bray Wyatt over.
“Personally, I see the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in Daniel Bryan’s future. But in the meantime, he has a chance to do something almost as important and prestigious; he has a chance to help MAKE somebody,” Foley wrote in a column on his Facebook page.
The move by Bryan at the end of Monday Night Raw to join the Wyatt Family has been viewed with curiosity in some quarters. The big question: why take a main-eventer and put him as part of a stable?
To Foley, the answer is obvious: to give Wyatt the rub from Bryan’s star power.
“Even a performer with that ‘IT’ factor needs something else to get them there – a bridge of sorts to get lead them on that next step of the journey. Every performer in our business needs that intense personal issue, that rivalry, that FEUD that truly puts them on the main event map,” Foley wrote.
Foley mentioned the feuds that defined his rise to the top – with Sting in 1991 and The Undertaker in 1996, calling them “the right opponents at the right time to put me on the main event map.”
“I like to think that I was that right person at the right time for a few people over the years. It’s an honor I take great pride in,” Foley wrote.
“Daniel Bryan has that chance. It’s not easy. But do I think he’s up to it? YES, YES, YES!”
