• “Mick is wrong” – Mick Foley’s Ex-Tag Team Partner On Foley Quitting WWE Over Donald Trump Ties
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently made headlines after parting ways with WWE due to the company’s strong ties with U.S. President Donald Trump. Foley, who has been openly critical of Trump for years, explained that he could no longer feel comfortable representing a company that maintains a close relationship with the president.
Speaking on Newsmax, Knox County Mayor and fellow WWE Hall of Famer Kane (Glenn Jacobs) addressed Foley’s decision and shared his perspective on the situation. While Jacobs made it clear that he disagrees with Foley politically, he emphasized the importance of civil discourse and free expression before offering his blunt assessment.
“Well, certainly it’s no surprise. I know where Mick (Foley) is at politically and we’ve had our discussions about politics and we’ve always been able to keep them civil and I wish that could happen more on the public platforms altogether.
One thing is we live in a country where we are free to disagree about things, and I think Mick is wrong, but nevertheless, he’s entitled to his opinion. I will defend his right to say that, even if I do think he’s wrong and that’s the beauty of America. I wish that would kind of be all over the place as opposed to just wrestling.”
Kane and Mick Foley were tag team partners at one point during the Attitude Era. They held the WWF World Tag Team Championship twice.
Kevin Nash also weighed in on Mick Foley’s decision recently, offering a different perspective. Nash explained that he has no intention of distancing himself from WWE over politics, saying he values his long-standing relationships in the company too much to let political differences create personal divides.
• Austin Theory Reveals Why He Was The Masked Man
At the start of tonight’s RAW, Paul Heyman met Austin Theory. They went on to have the following conversation:
Heyman: What the hell are you doing?
Theory: I wanted you to know why I was wearing the mask. I wanted everybody to feel my actions before they saw my face. And I’ve made some bad decisions. I got comfortable. I got injured. But then I saw The Vision. You didn’t wait for anything. You took. And that’s me now. I take.
Heyman: Really?
Theory: Really.
Heyman: You take?
Theory: Yeah. And I know The Vision’s got a match tonight, and I’d love to take that opportunity and help out.
Heyman: Really?
Theory: Really.
Heyman: Interesting. Very interesting.
