Mick Foley makes huge statement ahead of WrestleMania 34

MICK FOLEY insists Vader and Chyna should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Foley told Sirius XM Radio’s “Busted Open” that both wrestling legends deserve a place among some of sports entertainment’s absolute greatest.

The likes of Goldberg, Jeff Jarrett, The Dudley Boyz, Ivory and more will be honoured with wrestling’s highest accolade but The Hardcore Legend insists Vader and Chyna should join them soon.

Foley said: “Leon (Vader) was so dominant not just in WCW, I mean he’ll be the first to tell you, if he came in during the attitude era in WWE he would have been amazing.

“They had him from the get-go running away from people. I remember driving with him and he would be like ‘I’m Vader and running away from people!’.

“Where as I was given open reign to do whatever I wanted with my character, he just seemed to have so many people in his ear to tell him how to be Vader, when he’s done it successfully all over the world.

“I think when you take into account everything he’s accomplished in WCW, NJPW, Mexico and in Germany and Europe.”

Vader, also known as Big Van Vader, is a three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion and has won the prestigious IWGP Heavyweight title three times.

Foley, who is a WWE Hall of Famer in his own right, also expects Chyna to take her place among wrestling’s elite.

The Ninth Wonder of the World is a pioneer of women’s wrestling and broke down huge gender barriers as she competed against male wrestlers.

Chyna won the Intercontinental title twice and was the first ever woman to compete in the men’s Royal Rumble match.

Foley added: “I would love to see her in. I know how much it would mean to her mom. I tell people you can’t let that one decision dictate if your career was a success.

“I didn’t wander around wondering if my career had meant anything because I wasn’t in the hall of fame, but it is a big deal.”
