Ric Flair Says Kevin Owens Is The New Mick Foley

On the latest episode of his To Be The Man podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair discussed which current wrestler deserves to carry Mick Foley’s mantle.

Flair noted that although fans have always drawn comparisons between Foley and Sami Zayn, former WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens is the most deserving wrestler to continue Foley’s legacy of hardcore wrestling by putting his own safety on the line for the sake of entertaining fans.

The Nature Boy opined that nobody else in WWE can take bumps and sell moves as good as Owens, a trait that makes him exceptionally Foley-esque. He said,

“Kevin does crazy sh*t. 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 sh*t.’”
