WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley will make no further apoeearance for WWE while it coddles Trump
https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/sport/mick-foley-wwe-donald-trump-b2885692.htmlWWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has announced that he will not be making any further appearances for WWE while Donald Trump remains president.
Foley cited concerns over WWE's continued close relationship with Donald Trump and how his administration has treated immigrants.
The 'final straw' for Foley, a former WWE champion in the late 1990s, was the president's 'incredibly cruel comments' following Rob Reiner's death.
“I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy,” said the 60-year-old in an Instagram post.
He also stated he would not sign a new Legends deal when his current contract expires in June.
Foley's decision follows previous comments where he questioned how his WWE colleagues could support Donald Trump.
