Mick Foley No Longer Under Contract to World Wrestling Entertainment

The “Hardcore Legend” and WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley confirmed on his FaceBook account that not only was he no longer the general manager for “Saturday Morning Slam,” but that he was also no longer under contract to World Wrestling Entertainment.

THE END OF AN ERA

It is with mixed emotions that I announce that, as of yesterday, I am officially no longer the General Manager of “Saturday Morning Slam.” While I am saddened by the end of my illustrious run as the main man behind the stratospheric success of “Slam” – truly some of the finest weeks in company history, I also know that I can look back without regrets. Whether it was dancing with the Prime Time Players, dancing with The Usos, dancing with Broadus Clay and Sweet T or singing “Danny Boy” with Shaemus, I held absolutely nothing back; leaving a piece of my soul behind with each and every historic 30 minute episode.

OK, seriously: I enjoyed having the opportunity to do the show, enjoyed being a regular part of WWE TV for a while, and am grateful that WWE honored the contract for the entire year.

So, with my “Slam” contract completed, I am no longer under contract to WWE, but look forward to working with them in the future. I did an appearance for WWE today at a NY Islanders game, will represent them at a Knicks game this week (pretty sure these are unpaid appearances, although WWE can feel free to surprise me with a little check-a-roonie in the Foley mailbox if they want to) and will continue to represent WWE in a number of community relations appearances in the coming year.

If any of you video enthusiast want to compile a “Best of Mick Foley Saturday Morning Slam” video montage, I will be glad to play it.

Foley has been very outspoken in the past over how he feels with the direction the company is going in certain storylines. He was vocal on social media with his displeasure over the booking with the Royal Rumble. He even destroyed his television in an act of protest over Daniel Bryan not being a part of the Royal Rumble match itself.
