Wrestling legend Mick Foley parts ways with WWE because of its 'close relationship' with Trump

Professional wrestling legend Mick Foley announced Tuesday that he is "parting ways with WWE" because of the organization's ties with fellow WWE Hall of Fame inductee President Trump.

"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," Foley, 60, wrote Tuesday on Instagram.

"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."
