Mick Foley recently recalled how he had no interest in facing Marc Mero in a WWE WrestleMania match.Former creative team member Jim Cornette wanted Foley to face Mero at WWE's biggest show of the year. However, the three-time world champion was strongly against the idea.On the latest episode of his podcast, Foley said he only wanted a WrestleMania spot if the match meant something:"I do know that we talked about the fact that Corny said, 'I know, Cactus [Cactus Jack, Foley's alter-ego], it's not great. We just wanna get you a spot at WrestleMania.' I said, 'Hey, if it's between getting a spot and having a spot that's not good, I'd rather not be on the show,' and that's still the way I felt. I still feel like you get to create your own WrestleMania moments." [51:37 – 52:00]Foley was envious of Mero's WWE contract at the time. Both men joined the company in 1996, but Mero received more money as part of his six-figure downside guarantee.The 2013 Hall of Famer later apologized to Mero. On reflection, he realized that the former WCW star was right to accept a good financial offer from WWE.WWE's initial plans for Marc Mero vs. Mick FoleyIn September 1996, Mick Foley unsuccessfully challenged Shawn Michaels for the WWE Championship at In Your House 10: Mind Games.

We probably could have made it work (…) I'm going back to the September match with Shawn Michaels, which was originally slotted in as me and Marc." [51:10 – 51:29]Foley and Mero crossed paths sporadically on WWE television between 1996 and 1998, but they never feuded in a long-term storyline.Do you think Marc Mero vs. Mick Foley would have been an entertaining rivalry?
