5 surprising facts about WWE Hall of Famers
In the annals of WWE history we the fans have seen thousands of Superstars.
And though there have been countless matches with these stars, only a select few have had careers epic enough to warrant a place in the company's Hall of Fame. From its first inductee Andre The Giant, the elite group has welcomed some of wrestling's biggest ever stars, from 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin to 'Macho Man' Randy Savage.
But whilst the Hall of Fame induction ceremony has allowed fans to take a peek into the lives of the legends, many Superstars still have their secrets. In a world as crazy and unique as professional wrestling, it's hardly surprising that there are some skeletons in the closet.
Here are five shocking facts about WWE Hall of Famers you probably didn't know.
#5: Foley nearly quits
When the Montreal Screwjob happened at Survivor Series 1997, the wrestling world looked on in awe.
Bret Hart, one of the WWF's most loyal stars, who had sacrificed so much for the company, had been kicked out and robbed of the World championship in the most unfair of ways.
Several stars wanted out of the WWF following Bret, and though you'd expect his Hart Foundation brothers to leave in protest, one surprising name that wanted out was Mick Foley.
Disgusted by what he saw, Foley has said that it showed McMahon had no allegiance to anyone, and that trust was nothing than a five letter word. Fortunately for the WWF fans, cooler heads prevailed and Foley stayed.
The next year, Foley as Mankind immortalized himself in WWF history after getting thrown from the Hell in a Cell, and in January 1999, would achieve a life-long dream, becoming WWF Champion.
