How Vince McMahon Helped Mick Foley Lose 100 Pounds

Like a lot of people who were once in an athletic profession, Mick Foley has been battling his weight since beginning a less active lifestyle. However, in the battle against his weight, Foley has been thoroughly kicking its ass, as he recently posted on Facebook that he’s lost 100 pounds this year. Yes, the RAW General Manager has dropped 100 big ones, as you may have noticed on TV. He thanks several people in his post, including DDP and his yoga, but the biggest shout out went to Vince McMahon himself.

Foley wrote about a particularly fateful phone call with Mr. McMahon in his post, saying:

“Last January, I had my first phone call with Vince in quite a while. I told him I was down about 25 pounds, to 315, and planned to be down a total of 80 by Christmas. I heard that Mr McMahon voice say “I’m going to hold you to that”, and I said, ” alright, 258 by Christmas.”

I wonder, really wonder if I would have made it without that phone call. Even with the DDP Yoga, much better eating choices, and the realization that this had to be a lifestyle change, and not just a temporary diet for a big match. Without that phone call, I think my enthusiasm dies out right after Mania at 288. Deep down, in one way or another, whether we admit it or not, all of us are looking for acceptance from Mr. McMahon.”

Hey, if what it takes to motivate you is a stern word from Mr. McMahon, so be it.
