CONFIRMED: WWE HALL OF FAMER MICK FOLEY PUBLICLY CORRECTS WWE SPREADING SOCIAL MEDIA LIES
Mick Foley hits back at viral claims that he is "fuming" over WWE's use of his footage. Read the legend's full response here.
Mick Foley just shot down a WWE rumour about him.
Word got around on social media that Mick Foley was mad at WWE for using clips of his wrestling days.
It started when an Instagram page, It’s Wrestling Lover, said Foley was fuming. But Foley hopped on Instagram to set the record straight, saying it's just not true.
Foley said WWE owns the footage and can use it how they want. He's actually proud of his work and likes it when fans get to see it.
“I saw that an Instagram site called It’s Wrestling Lover is spreading a made-up story about me being angry with WWE for using my wrestling stuff,” Foley said. “First off, it’s their footage. They can do whatever. Second, I’m proud of it. I love my time with the company, and I like being seen. So, please take back what you said. Say it's wrong. Do the right thing, okay?”
Even if this particular rumour is squashed, it might have grown because Foley and WWE have had some real disagreements lately. Earlier this month, Foley said he was cutting ties with them because of their ties with Donald Trump after some comments about Rob Reiner's death.
The wrestling legend went on Instagram to call out fan pages for saying he's fighting with WWE over his footage:
“Hey, everyone, Mick Foley here. I just landed, and I’m seeing that an Instagram site called @itswrestlinglover and a Facebook page called ‘Wrestling Corner’ are putting out a totally fake story about me being furious that WWE is using my wrestling footage.
“First of all, it’s their footage, and they can do whatever they want. Second, I’m proud of it. I love everything I did when I was there, and I like being seen. So please, take back what you said, admit it’s false, do the right thing, and have a great day!”
Mick Foley is no longer down with WWE.
Foley made headlines when he announced he was leaving WWE because of their ties to Donald Trump. He made his choice public after Trump’s controversial words about Rob Reiner’s death.
“LEAVING WWE I’ve been worried about WWE’s friendship with Donald Trump for months—especially with his horrible treatment of immigrants (and anyone who looks like one)—but the President’s really cruel comments after Rob Reiner’s death are the last straw.”
Fans can read Foley’s full thoughts. Other WWE Hall of Famers, like Kevin Nash and Kane, had something to say. Glenn Jacobs said he thought Foley was wrong but respected his choice, adding that it’s what living in a free country is all about.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR LIV MORGAN? DISCOVER THE JUDGMENT DAY STAR’S PLAN FOR RAW DOMINANCE
Liv Morgan returns! The Judgment Day member beat Lyra Valkyria in Tampa and sent a terrifying warning to the WWE women's division.
Liv Morgan is back and already making waves in WWE's women's division! After being out for six months because of a shoulder injury, the Judgment Day member jumped back in the ring this past weekend at a WWE Holiday Tour show in Tampa, Florida.
She won against Lyra Valkyria at the Amalie Arena, and she was seriously hyped up. A video surfaced after the match where she straight-up warned the other wrestlers backstage, calling herself the greatest of all time.
"I'm the greatest of all time," Liv Morgan yelled into the camera. I'm the greatest of all time, are you kidding me? I hope that everyone in the back is terrified, because they should be. By the way, Nikki Bella hung out with her ex-boyfriend at WWE Raw!
This match was Morgan’s first since June, which proves she’s healed from that injury that messed up her summer. Her tag team partner, Raquel Rodriguez, talked about Morgan’s recovery when she was on Going Ringside. Rodriguez said that Morgan came back sooner than expected because she was just itching to get back in the game.
Knowing Liv, I'm not shocked at all. That girl really wants it; she wants to win a championship. She just wants to improve and be the best she can be, Rodriguez said. Rodriguez mentioned how tough it is to sit out and how that time just made Morgan want it more. As an athlete, being sidelined due to sickness or injury sucks. Watching from the sidelines makes you want to come back stronger. The fact that she got through rehab, got back to 100%, and came back early—I'm so glad she's back in Judgment Day and on Monday Night Raw. Everyone else is too. "We're all happy she's back," Rodriguez added.
We don’t know when Morgan will be back on TV in a match. Right now, she doesn't have anything scheduled for this week's WWE Monday Night Raw.
JANUARY 5 PREVIEW: CM PUNK VS BRON BREAKKER HEADLINES THE NETFLIX RAW PREMIERE
Kevin Nash calls CM Punk "slow" and "done," urging Bron Breakker to take the title on January 5. Get the full WWE legend reaction.
A WWE Hall of Famer thinks CM Punk isn't what he used to be.
On his Kliq This podcast, WWE legend Kevin Nash talked about a fan's idea: CM Punk should keep the World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker on January 5 (the first-year show of WWE RAW on Netflix) and then lose to him at WrestleMania 42.
After seeing CM Punk in last week's RAW main event, Kevin Nash said CM Punk seems slower and maybe finished. He thinks Bron Breakker should win the title from Punk on January 5.
I watched Punk in the main event last Monday. First, if you're the WWE heavyweight champ and you wrestle in a t-shirt, that's not great! Second, his punches look super slow. He just looks slow. I think he's done. I think Bron should beat him.”
Kevin Nash had said before that it was too early for CM Punk to lose the title and that he should beat Bron Breakker. It seems his mind has changed after seeing last week's RAW.
Another WWE Legend Thinks CM Punk Needs Gunther as His Next Opponent
On Busted Open Radio, WWE and ECW legend Tommy Dreamer said why he thinks CM Punk needs Gunther as his next rival.
“Everyone in WWE should want to be world champion. Whether it’s Cody Rhodes or not, everyone in WWE should be aiming for that, Dreamer said. I'm talking about Monday Night Raw, so I'm talking about CM Punk. CM Punk needs that rival. He needs that guy.
I'm not saying anyone is wrong, but how I saw the whole Gunther/John Cena thing, I saw it in a lot of ways. He then explained why Gunther is a good fit, after everything that happened with John Cena.
“Here’s what I think: John Cena is done, and Gunther is the new thing. That’s why I thought it was right for John Cena to lose like that. Watching now, for two weeks in a row, that decision is making more sense because Gunther is getting more heat. If we're hinting at a CM Punk–Gunther showdown, that's a tough challenge for CM Punk.”
