So Mick Foley is a free agent today and no longer will be calling the shots and kissing Good Ole J.R.’s ass on Smackdown on Friday nights. Rumors of Foley going to TNA have been circulating for awhile now and now the press release from his agent pretty much confirms it.
Can TNA really do anything for the career and legend of Mick Foley? Can Mick Foley do anything to get TNA to the next level? I’m skeptical, but we’ll see.
September 3, 2008 – Statement from Mick Foley on leaving WWE, his future with TNA Wrestling and other opportunities.
"As of today, I am a free agent in the world of professional wrestling. I will always be grateful to WWE for affording me so many incredible opportunities over the past thirteen years, but feel the time is right to pursue other endeavors.
This move frees me up to participate in more film, television and voice roles, autograph sessions, speaking engagements, volunteer work, and will allow me the time to start work on a third novel, a fourth wrestling memoir and a new children’s story.
Over the next few weeks I will be working with my management team at Braverman/Bloom Co., Inc. in pursuing a couple of unique investment opportunities.
I can confirm I have had discussions with TNA Wrestling and have come to a short-term agreement. I am very excited about the specifics of this agreement and the potential it holds."
Mick Foley is available for booking through The Gillespie Agency.
