Sami Zayn has been compared to WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley by Tommy Dreamer. The ECW legend thinks that he has a unique ability.
The former Intercontinental Champion is one of the top babyfaces on RAW, and he's been a good guy since he betrayed The Bloodline at the Royal Rumble last year. However, he could soon reunite with the OG Bloodline to take on the Solo Sikoa-led faction. Zayn was involved in an in-ring segment with Jimmy and Jey Uso on RAW this week, and he was asked to clarify whether he intentionally kicked Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel.
On the latest edition of Busted Open Radio, Tommy Dreamer looked back on the segment and praised Sami Zayn for his promo skills. He compared the latter to former WWE Champion Mick Foley.
"You've gotta put Sami Zayn up there as one of the greatest babyfaces of all time," Dreamer said. "When you listen to him talk, he has a unique ability to engage you... He has this ability to speak to the audience like WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley did." (H/T Wrestling INC.)

Bully Ray doesn't think Sami Zayn will go down as one of the greatest babyfaces in history
Sami is praised for his work on the mic because he always comes off as believable when he cuts a promo, and he makes it sound authentic. He also knows how to get the fans to cheer for him.
However, Bully Ray doesn't agree with Tommy Dreamer that Zayn will be etched in history as one of the best babyfaces of all time.
"Is Sami Zayn going to go down in history as one of the greatest babyfaces ever? No, I don't believe we're going to remember him for that," Bully said. "I know that he will go down in my eyes as a great worker who was able to master the art of the struggle better than just about anyone else."
Sami will appear on SmackDown this Friday to meet with Roman Reigns. It'll be interesting to see what pans out during the segment.
