Mick Foley Confirms Deal With TNA
Date Added: September 03, 2008
Story By: Brian Cantor
MICK FOLEY ANNOUNCED THE FOLLOWING VIA THE GILLESPIE AGENCY:

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. For
more information contact Elaine Gillespie ( [e-mail]) or
Nola Armstrong ( [e-mail]).

Not sure what "short term deal" is but I read Spike actually kicked $$$ in for this deal, and the contract is with them apparently, just like Kurt Angle.

This will allow Foley to do voice over and TV work.

(Yeah, I found this in the comments of a 411mania news report. Nice detective work by whoever posted it.)

Noone likes clicking links.



EDIT: Incidently, as an OO mod who would absolutely fix this if he had the power I can't tell you how stupid I find it that the two top threads in this forum are "Foley Confirms being in TNA" and "Foley done with WWE." I half expect the next thread to be started to be "Foley to make TNA debut" or "Foley to start story in TNA."

[Byrntrigan]

Lucky - I could merge this thread into the other, but I thought as it was two different subjects it was best to have two separate threads.

I could be wrong...

[Lucky]

It really doesn't strike me as two different subjects at all. If we could merge threads I would have done that the second I saw the topic. Foley left WWE and signed with TNA days later. Its the same story. Its like starting a new thread for every match on Impact because they're different subjects.

But I was really just noting one of those meaningless things that makes me an OO mod and drives me insane here. I'm expecting one of the other smart asses to now start a bunch of repetitive threads just to bug me.

[Byrntrigan]

No biggie Lucky

I never even noticed we can't thread merge here until you said something...

[Pun]

Merging threads is supposed to be a feature in ProBoards' next version.

[Mikey]

I realized that last week when I made another gambling thread after AA already had one that I had forgotten about.
