Both Mick Foley and Donald Trump were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013, and then appeared on stage at WrestleMania 29 the next night as part of the Hall of Fame Class.
Foley said he had to wake up at 7 AM for his WrestleMania Hall of Fame segment walk rehearsal, but Trump didn’t, and he didn’t like that.
Here’s what the former WWF Champion said during an interview with Inside The Ropes:
“Listen, I don’t want to badmouth the WWE Hall of Fame, but I know you know, it’s funny. I don’t know how many people we have here, but I’m thrilled to be here, right? And I was thrilled when we had 101,000 people in Dallas, right? You know, looking around when Steve Austin’s music hits, and I just looked around—everyone’s looking at him. I took it all in because I’d never been in front of that many people before and likely never would again. I took it all in.
But the last time I was in front of a crowd of that magnitude was the Hall of Fame, the day after the Hall of Fame induction, you know, at the WWE at WrestleMania. They have everyone come out, and I had a post-show celebration at a place called Foolies, right? It’s three blocks from Madison Square Garden.
I know some of you know that. I have a son, Mickey, who’s on the autism spectrum, and I told WWE, like, ‘He can’t travel. We have to stay in New York. We can’t stay in Hackensack because if you put my son on a bus four hours before the event, he’s not going to be there. Like, he can’t take crowds and all that.’
So, everyone else had to go back to Hackensack, and I had, like, a big party by myself—there were like 11 people there. But we had to cut the party short because I had to go get some sleep, because I had a 7 AM wake-up call to rehearse my Hall of Fame walkthrough.
You know, and so I swear to you, the only thing I could think of when I walked out there, as they go, ‘Mick Foley,’ and they’re playing to 75,000 people out there, all I could think was, ‘They needed to wake me up at 7 AM to do this?’ Like, I’m a New York Times number one bestselling author. They couldn’t have told me what star to stand on?
Donald Trump didn’t have to get up at 7 AM. That’s all I could think of. I was looking at Trump like, he didn’t have to wake up at 7 AM. So, I was just inside, and it’s more than just the horrible policy, but I held a grudge against Donald Trump for not having to get up at 7 AM when I did — kicking me out of my own post-Hall of Fame celebratory party.”
