Report: Mick Foley Headed To TNA Next Month

[MR_HIP_HOP_HEAD]

The Sun out of the UK is reporting a close friend of Mick Foley has informed them that the hardcore icon is headed to TNA Wrestling when his WWE contract expires on September 1st.

Foley’s friend told the Sun, “Mick's body cannot handle a full time schedule, even in TNA. But he's hell bent on doing everything he can to further his legacy and put them on the map.

The friend added, "Mick's plan is to wrestle select dates, like Sting currently does. He feels he will legitimately make a big difference in the way TNA Wrestling is perceived by the public!"

Back in 2005, Foley was in talks wih TNA and was very close to signing with the company before he wound up back in WWE. He did not work this week's SmackDown! tapings.

Well, WWE is going lower and lower. They lost one of the great legends in Wrestling to an up and coming Wrestling company in TNA.

Losing Mick Foley isn't exactly a huge blow to WWE, but it could be a good move for TNA. I hope he doesn't wrestle too much, I'd rather see him replace Don West on commentary.

If this is true (it's The Sun, which is rarely correct, but they do cover quite a lot of wrestling) then I'd like to see Foley do something with Abyss. The Abyss character obviously owes a lot to Mankind.

i dunno bout him going to TNA, could be a bad move, he will never get a proper retirement like Ric Flair did.

Meh, doesn't really damage the WWE. I didn't think his commentary skills were THAT good, his delivery was poor at times.

Really??? i always saw Abyss as TNA's version of the old Kane.

that would be great if he replaced Don West


you got a possible interesting feud if they put Foley up in a match with Sting. but knowing TNA, they'll throw up against Angle, Booker, Christian, and most likely Abyss.

Foley is now part owner of TNA.
