WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley posted the following on his official Facebook page this afternoon, following the announcement that Hulk Hogan would be the special guest host of Monday Night Raw next week.
HO HO HOGAN?
What about FO- HO-HOLEY?
I appreciate so many people jumping to my defense at the announcement of Hulk Hogan as the special guest for the Christmas episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. All of your “what about St Mick” and “Foley is Santa” comments are much appreciated.
But the truth is, I was asked by WWE if I would like to travel to Minneapolis for Raw, but had to turn the opportunity down, due to a prior commitment. I’ll miss it. I’ll watch, and probably wish I was there. But as important as appearing on Christmas Raw is to me, honoring a commitment means just a little bit more.
I have really enjoyed being part of the holiday season in my own small way in WWE, and hope to be part of the Christmas episode in 2016.
So don’t hold it against the Hulkster or WWE, I wasn’t forgotten or disrespected in any way. Just previously engaged.
For those of you wanting to include me in your holiday festivities, why not consider giving the gift of live Mick Foley? With January shows in Texas, Michigan, Arizona, California, Washington, and Oregon, it’s the perfect way to show you care. Just check in at http://realmickfoley.com/events/
