Mick Foley said he doesn’t understand how WWE can stand by Donald Trump. Now, he says he’s cutting all ties with the company over it.
On Monday, Foley called out WWE for its link to President Donald Trump, who criticized actor/director Rob Reiner after his death. One day later, Foley says he’s been concerned about WWE’s link to Trump, and the President’s remark about Reiner was the final straw for him.
Foley wrote on Facebook that he is parting ways with WWE. He also shared that he will let his existing WWE Legends deal in June, and won’t make any more appearances for WWE as long as Trump remains in office.
“PARTING WAYS WITH WWE While I have been concerned about WWE‘s close relationship with Donald Trump for several months — especially in light of his administration’s ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who “looks like an immigrant”) — reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me.
“I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy. Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office. Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, “I stands all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more.”
