Breaking News: Mick Foley Agrees To Join TNA!

August 27, 2008


Since leaving the WWE, rumors have been swirling about this. Today, it is reported that those rumors are indeed true!

Hardcore Legend Mick Foley has agreed to terms with rival company TNA.

The details of the deal have not yet been released. It is unsure at what capacity Foley will be apart of the company.

His contract with the WWE expires at the end of August. The last time we saw Foley on television was during the much talked-about segment with Edge. During this segment, Foley urged Edge to find The Edge that he once called the best pro-wrestler in the business. 

Edge got the message loud and clear. After attacking with Foley, he layed him on a table and jumped on him, off a ladder. Foley indeed un-leached the inner Edge.

Now the legend is off to TNA. Foley is mostly remembered for extreme matches. He has put his body on the line countless times, causing several injuries. Nobody will forget his match against The Undertaker in the brutal Hell in a Cell.

We know him as Mankind, as Dude Love, but most famously, as Cactus Jack. His days in ECW and WWE will not soon be forgotten.

A possible TNA debut could be during the Pay Per View "No Surrender" on Sept. 14. 

As a WWE fan, I would like to say good luck to Foley.

 

"Bang, Bang!"

    Oh boy. This is a blast from the past. Comparable to Mick joining ECW back in the 90's.

      As much as I enjoy picking on TNA, Foley is a GREAT pick up for them.

      We saw he can still promo. Who knows, maybe he has a little fight in him left.

      Barely "scraps".

      Would Gail Kim be considered "scraps" if (when) she re-joined WWE?

      Clearly they will. Let me know when they sign a big name. A wrestler that's not at the end of his career

    PWinsiderelite.com doesn't have it. That's the only site that matters, send me a reputable site, not one run by an 18 year old and I'll believe it.

    I've heard that he's agreed verbally, but nothing has been official yet.

      "Hardcore Legend Mick Foley has agreed to terms with rival company TNA."

      Agreed to terms. They can't "officially" sign anything until the end of August. But they have agreed to a deal.

      By the way, I've never heard of the site you just gave, and I've been following wrestling a long time.

    Let me just say that this SUCKS. He'll undoubtedly come back, wrestle a few hardcore matches with Abyss and ultimately do nothing of value. He either needs to just replace Don West, become a manager or, if he has to wrestle, do it to put over someone who needs it.

    Ok, did anybody see the Punk/Foley promo from ROH, where they are continously dissing TNA? If I could upload it to YouTube, it would be so ironic right now.

    Anyways, good signing. Maybe the next GM?

    Trouble is brewing between WWE and TNA. Obviously WWE is now going to try and steal some more of TNA's Wrestlers. Check out my articles all about that.

    Foley made his own way in the WWE. He fell off the cage on his own, Vince didn't do that. Vince didn't come up with the idea for the Mankind character (its later incarnation), Foley did. Vince didn't wrestle an inspirational match against The Rock in December 1998, Foley did. Yes Vince put him in position to do all those things but Foley executed them. Both were equally responsible for Foley's success. So with that said Foley is pretty much disgusted to the way WWE has gone lately, and who can blame him? If he wants to leave, that's his right.

      Foley would have still been a legend without the WWE, just not a superstar. Foley has DVDs, books, and merchandice. That he owes to Vince. Vince made his name mean something very important.

    Good signing by TNA as it gives them some much needed exposure and a boost. I don't believe that he owes the WWE anything as he was an established wrestler well before he signed as Manking the Mutilator. Wrestlers whose contracts have expired should have the right to go where they choose to and having more viable options such as TNA, Japan, etc. is good for the wrestling entertainment business overall. Personally, after WWE purchased WCW and completely ruined intriguing storylines, the wrestling business became stale. It's good for WWE to have some sort of competition in North America whether it be minor or major. Just as Affliction and Elite XC are good for the UFC. Wrestlers with no place to go other than the WWE breeds complacency and a non competitive market.

    If WWE ever bought out TNA I would personally kill vince mcmahon, he destroyed my beloved WCW and made a dogs ass out of it calling it ecw etc, TNA is by far the best at the moment, the new talent is worth watching I couldnt say that much about WWE's new boys n girls, they're all blonde numb-nuts who dont have a clue Kenny Dykstra being the biggest moron of them all along with mcmahons butt hole surfers michaels and HHH
