Mick Foley Praises New Tag Team in WWE, Name Change For WWE Friday Night Smackdown

Mick Foley on WWE Tag Team

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently took to Facebook and commented on Cesaro and Tyson Kidd as a tag team. Below is what he had to say about them, one night after their victory over Los Matadores on Smackdown.

“FUTURE CHAMPIONS!

I know they’ve been teaming up for a few weks, but tonight’s ‪#‎Smackdown‬was the first time I’ve seen Tyson Kidd and Cesaro – WWE together as a tag-team, I know this may seem like a premature evaluation, but based soley on this one match, I am going to boldly predict that Kidd and Cesaro will be the ‪WWE‬ tag team of the year for 2015. Remember, I’m the guy who boldly predicted that the waves of SandowMania‬ were going to one day crash down upon our shores…and so they have! Don’t even try pointing to that double-loss on WWE Monday Night Raw either – because the legend of SandowMania is going to outlive us all, daddy!

Sure, they were probably just thrown together by creative. But sometimes, that’s how great teams are formed. Just ask Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, who were put together on a whim for the sake of a house show run in 1997, and became one of the most entertaining and successful units in pro-wrestling history.

Given the chance, and some time to gel, I see big things – and great matches – in this team’s future. Holler if you hear me.”

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Name Change

WWE will NOT be changing the name to “WWE Thursday Night Smackdown” when it moves later this month. The name for the show has been “Friday Night Smackdown,” but it looks like they are simply going to refer it as “WWE Smackdown” from here on out. This name change forced many DVR’s to miss their scheduled recording.
