Mick Foley Reveals Failed ‘Son of Abyss’ Pitch in TNA

Wrestling legend Mick Foley recently revealed a never-realized character pitch called the 'Son of Abyss' during his time in TNA Wrestling. The storyline involved Foley portraying Abyss's kayfabe son, introduced through a storyline where Hulk Hogan, mentoring Abyss, would reveal the character's existence as a surprise twist. Foley imagined the 'Son of Abyss' as a secret partner working alongside Abyss against Eric Bischoff’s allies, wearing an Abyss mask and generating a catchphrase that could rival the popularity of 'Austin 3:16.' Despite the character never coming to fruition, Foley regards it as a valuable and creative idea that still excites him. When asked which of his three iconic personas he would debut as today, Foley chose Cactus Jack for its authenticity to his personality. The pitch highlights Foley's enduring creativity and willingness to innovate within wrestling narratives, even in later stages of his career.
