The legend is usually quite outspoken about the current product, but is refreshingly honest when looking back at moments he himself has been involved in. During his most recent post, Mick admitted to one regret he has held for a long time. Back at the turn of the millennium, Foley was embroiled in the then-WWF's hottest feud. Going against top heel Triple H for the WWF Heavyweight Title at Royal Rumble 2000, Foley (as Cactus Jack) was looking to up the ante during a promo on Smackdown. In the midst of doing so, he directed insults at Stephanie McMahon, the valet of 'The Game'. These slurs were mildly offensive, but nothing unusual for the time. However, on social media Foley revealed that he has always regretted using Stephanie to try and build heat for his matches against Triple H. In his mind, it just didn't fit and wasn't necessary at all. The insults were cut from the resultant Smackdown broadcast by production staff.
