"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."
"reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME."
Mick Foley announced he is parting ways with WWE and will not make appearances or sign a new Legends deal when his current contract expires in June. He cited WWE's close relationship with President Donald Trump and condemned the administration's treatment of immigrants, saying the president is 'void of compassion' and is marching the country toward autocracy. Foley said Trump's comments following the killings of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were 'incredibly cruel' and the final straw. The announcement instructs WWE talent relations that he will not represent the company while Trump remains in office. WWE did not immediately comment.
