WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley was in attendance at the Barclays Center to watch a game between the Chicago Bulls and the Brooklyn Nets. While at the venue, a random fan happened to recognize him – not as the WWE Legend, but as Robin Lopez's father!

Foley shared the story. on his Twitter account:

To he be fair, there is some kind of resemblance with all the hair. So maybe he could pass.

But for real, though. How can you not recognize Mick Foley?

For all those non-WWE fans out there, which apparently includes that random fan who approached him, Foley is widely known in the sports-entertainment world for his daredevil stunts, barbaric wrestling style, and love for usimg weapons like barbed-wire 2x4s and thumbtacks.

In case you didn't know, these are the kinds of things he pulled off.

These are just a few of the things he did that have earned him the title, Hardcore Legend.

Foley also has a lot of personas. His most known ones are Mankind, a mask-wearing psychotic schizophrenic who enjoyed pain.

It looks like Foley might just have gained another persona, this time as the Bulls veteran center's father.

Foley decided to have fun and rode with it while the big man was shooting freethrows.

Lopez decided to jump on in as well.

 

Lopez, though, had a bad game overall, shooting just 1-of-7 from the field, with just 4 points and 2 rebounds in 20 minutes.

The 7-footer's minutes have dwindled this season to just 16 per game, as the tanking Bulls have no real incentive to play him at this point.

Chicago is fully expected to ship the big man out of town, should it find a suitor that is willing to trade for him. It is highly likely, though, that teams will just wait for the Bulls to buy-out Lopez from his contract. Contenders are looking to add the 11-year veteran for some added front court depth.
