WWE legend Mick Foley joins The Wiggles on stage

Old school wrestling fans know Mick Foley as Mankind or Cactus Jack.

But fans saw a very different side of the performer during the New Zealand leg of his Nice Day tour this week.

After touching down at Christchurch Airport, the 57-year-old ran into children’s entertainers The Wiggles.

In addition to posing for some fun photos with the group, Foley even performed their hit Fruit Salad at his show that night.

The former WWF Champion admitted to being a big fan of the group, telling his followers that his children loved The Wiggles in the ’90s.  

‘What a surprise it was to run into @thewiggles at the baggage claim in #Christchurch New Zealand!’ he exclaimed.

‘This band was so popular with my children. I once took Dewey and Noelle to a great Wiggles show at Radio City Music Hall in 1998 or 1999,’ he continued.

‘In appreciation for the years of entertainment these awesome Aussies have provided all four Foley children, we did a rousing sing-a-long of “Fruit Salad” at last night’s show!

‘This has been such a great tour, and I’m looking forward to concluding it in grand style with tomorrow’s tour finale in #Auckland.’

The Wiggles also posted a photo of themselves with the wrestling icon on their own account.
