Mick Foley will not be making any appearances for WWE while President Donald Trump remains in office.
Since Donald Trump took office for his second term as president of the United States earlier this year, several top names in WWE, including Roman Reigns and Triple H have come out with statements regarding the president that have rubbed fans and other wrestlers the wrong way. Foley previously noted that he wasn’t sure how his colleagues could stand by Trump.
In a new social media post on December 16th, Mick Foley took to Instagram to announce he had let WWE Talent Relations know that he would not be appearing for the company while Trump remains in office.
“While I have been concerned about WWE‘s close relationship with Donald Trump for several months — especially in light of his administration’s ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who “looks like an immigrant”) — reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me. I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy. Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office. Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, “I stands all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more.”
