Mick Foley, known as the Hardcore Icon and a former WWE Champion, has publicly explained his decision to distance himself from WWE, attributing it to the company's perceived relationship with Donald Trump. In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Foley expressed his discomfort with Trump's comments regarding filmmaker Rob Reiner, who passed away recently. Foley described Trump's remarks as 'heartless and unbelievably cruel,' stating that they were the final straw for him. He emphasized that his long-standing association with WWE made him feel complicit in the company's ties to Trump, prompting his departure. Foley clarified that while he loves WWE, he could not continue to be associated with it under the current political climate. He remains open to returning in the future, depending on the political landscape, particularly Trump's position. Foley's stance highlights the intersection of politics and wrestling, a relationship that has historically been complex.
