TNA sent out a mobile text message to subscribers that suggests that the man who will appear in Kurt Angle’s corner in his match against Rhino with Mick Foley as ref will be a former World Champion, and a man who held tag team titles with Foley.
So who might it be?????
Mick’s former Tag Team Title partners are:
WWE: STEVE AUSTIN, AL SNOW, CHAINSAW CHARLIE (TERRY FUNK), KANE & THE ROCK
WCW: KEVIN SULLIVAN
USWA/World Class: SCOTT BRADDOCK & SUPER ZODIAK II (GARY YOUNG)
Steel City: BLUE MEANIE
IWA (JAPAN): TRACY SMOTHERS
ECW: MIKEY WHIPWRECK
Championship Wrestling: GARY YOUNG
Of these former World Champions are:
STEVE AUSTIN (WWE)
THE ROCK (WWE)
TERRY FUNK (NWA/ECW)
KANE (WWE/ECW)
MIKEY WHIPWRECK (ECW)
This suggests Terry Funk………assuming the tease was true, and I’m thinking it may not be.
So don’t expect Funk, but I’d be among those pleased if it was him.
Maybe like WWE with Jeff Hardy’s injury, the mobile alert is just a work to try to get folk talking or writing on the internet…..as we are.
