Mick Foley Continues to Lobby for the Job of General Manager of “Monday Night Raw”

In a recent interview with ChicagoNow.com, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley continues to lobby for the job of General Manager of “Monday Night Raw.” As previously reported, Foley recently took to Facebook to express his desire to once again be in a position of power on the program, saying that he wants to join the fold as a means of balance to The Authority.

Foley joined ChicagoNow to promote his film, “I Am Santa Claus,” but goes into detail about what “RAW” would look like with Mr. Bang Bang back in charge. He was once in a GM-type of position on “Monday Night Raw,” as he was the Commissioner of WWE from 2000-2001. Foley says,

“I think their needs to be a balance of power. I think on screen the Authority has had too much power for too long and it’s been a little heel heavy.

“I would hope I am on that short list of candidates for that type of role if it does arise. And if it was brought forth to me, I think I would do it. And with my personality I think I can bring a fresh attitude towards that ‘higher power’.”

The former WWE Champion also discusses his latest appearance on the program just six days before the “Hell In A Cell” PPV, and what he thinks of the WWE Network. He says,

“This was a big role for me and the segment was a big stepping-stone for the PPV. I was nervous which is healthy. I wouldn’t have gotten nervous if I was just doing a guess spot on the show, but this was different. WWE realizes now that I can be called upon to add to their shows in an important manner.

“I think [the WWE Network] is a great tool for me personality as it introduces a whole new generation of fans to who I was. They can discover my multiple characters over the years and it’s great to see.

When I come back to WWE guys are coming up to me asking about their matches and it’s very humbling. I think every wrestler needs to be a student of the game and continue to evolve.

I don’t think it’s a bad idea to look back at things that worked 20 years ago and use them in their character or setting today. I have no problem someone borrowing from the Mick Foley library.”

Editor’s Note:
Bring back Foley! Would be very entertaining television.
