The Shocking Story Behind Mick Foley's Black Eye
Believe it or not, we have learned that Mick Foley's black eye, as grotesque as it appeared on RAW last week, was one hundred percent legitimate.
Before the RAW "beatdown" segment, Randy Orton was instructed by Foley to punch him as hard as he could to bust his eye. Thus, while it was still choreographed, many of the punches were very stiff.
Orton, a rookie in the business, had never used such a technique and was very nervous about hurting Foley. Some backstage were in great fear of vision problems. In the 70s, this was often used to add believability to the angle, but is rarely done in modern times.
Mick Foley is said to have become obsessed with his angle with Randy Orton, mostly since it was his creation. Many WWE officials have been against elements of the angle since the beginning.
