Mick Foley Comments On Kevin Owens' Impersonation of Steve Austin
Sophia Edwards Add WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley to the list of those who enjoyed Kevin Owens' impersonation of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin.
In what will surely go down as one of the most memorable moments of his WWE career, Owens opened up this week's edition of Monday Night Raw by impersonating The Texas Rattlesnake. The crowd at Allstate Arena got extra loud when Austin's theme song started playing, but it turned out to be none other than Mr. Owens himself.
Owens went on to perform a hilarious impersonation of the wrestling legend. Austin's theme song played a second time during the promo, and many of the fans in attendance started cheering again. But it was just another trick orchestrated by Owens, and Austin never actually showed up.
Needless to say, the aforementioned Foley was a big fan of Owens' work on Monday evening:
