• At Comic-Con Northern Ireland 2024, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley was asked about his opinion of Vince McMahon after the serious allegations made by Janel Grant, which will be covered in the Netflix docuseries.
Here’s what the former WWF Champion said:
“I genuinely liked him. My relationship was never the same with him after I left WWE and went to TNA for 3 years. But to this day, I’m still trying to find an address to write to him, just to thank him for taking a chance on me.
I think all of us are a combination of good traits and bad traits, and you hope your good traits outweigh your bad traits, and it seems perhaps that Vince got it backwards there for a little while. But I’ve been there when he’s done good things. I’ve seen him do good things. I know I wanted, when I was writing books, I wanted to essentially do something like ‘Chicken Soup For The Wrestling Fan’s Soul,’ about some of these heartwarming moments.
He was someone who did the right thing for the right reasons a lot of the time. I feel really bad that someone I care about got into something that seems pretty unsavory. I’m gonna hold off judgment until I see the [docuseries], but I think one thing that’s fortunate is whatever he did or did not do, I don’t think many of us are allowing that to mess with our memories.
He was instrumental in creating some of those memories, so I’m choosing to appreciate him until I learn more about what may have gone down.”
