Mick Foley Feels WWE Should Be Careful Booking Daniel Bryan

Over the past couple of months, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has not been shy regarding WWE and its product. In a recent interview, he revealed that he will likely not re-sign with WWE due to having an issue with WWE’s handling of pay for the “WWE 2K14” video game. More recently, in late April, Foley said that a change in character is needed for John Cena.

Once again, Foley was not shy about the WWE product, as he tuned in to the May 5 edition of “Monday Night Raw.” During the program, Foley tweeted that WWE should be careful on how it books WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan, who has continued his feud with Kane.

Foley (@realmickfoley) tweeted the following during the program:

The “Hardcore Legend” would get more in-depth on a post on his Facebook account:

“BE CAREFUL, BE VERY CAREFUL

Whether Daniel Bryan – WWE Universe knows it or not, NOW is the time that the fiercest fighting takes place for a WWE champion – and it has nothing to do with the action in the ring. Now is the time to step up and shoot down horrible ideas that can derail even the most promising of ideas. I used to joke that Daniel was the exception to the rule that every top guy in WWE has been perceived at one time or another as a pain in the neck – largely for their willingness to step up and call the creative team out on bad ideas when they see them. That thing I saw tonight – that thing with Daniel and Brie Bella – WWE Universe and the car? That was a bad idea – one that never should have seen the light of day.

I have said on several occasions that I used up my ammo when it came to complaining about WWE storylines when I went to bat for the #YesMovement in the aftermath of the Royal Rumble. I’m going to do my very best to do just that. But I’ll first ask everyone involved – Daniel, Brie, Hunter, Steph, Vince, etc., to take a good look at the nearly identical storyline that ran Zack Ryder’s promising career off the rails…and do everything they can to avoid that same horrible stretch of track.

Have a nice day.”

Editor’s Note

Foley definitely raises a valid point about Daniel Bryan’s booking, which has been a hot-topic following his victories at WrestleMania XXX. It will be interesting to see if Bryan begins to cool off, or continues to grow on the WWE Universe.
