WWE legend quit company as he didn t like how Vince McMahon spoke to him on commentary

By Nishant Jayaram Modified 29 Sep 2022 Follow Us 4 Comments Share A Hall of Famer had issues with what Vince McMahon told him WWE legend Mick Foley opened up about his exit from the company in 2008 and how he had an uneasy conversation with Vince McMahon about it. Foley left WWE for the second time in 2008 when he was a commentator on SmackDown. The hardcore legend immediately joined TNA and went on to have a three-year run with the company before returning to Vince McMahon's company once again. In an episode of his Foley is Pod podcast, the Hall of Famer detailed his difficult conversation with McMahon regarding his future in the company back in 2008. Foley did not enjoy being a commentator as he did not like how McMahon spoke to him while commentating. "They [his kids] make a beeline and the craft table at the Coliseum was right in front of Mr. McMahon’s office and he walked out, ‘Mick, I know you don’t like me but I’m asking you to gut this one out’ and I was like, ‘This is not about guts. This is about being treated in a way that I think a human being should be treated,’" said Foley. He then went on to ask McMahon if he'd be treated like Jim Ross was treated in the company. "But I said, ‘Vince, what’s the end game here? If I work hard at this for ten years and I get as good as I can possibly be that you’ll treat me the way you treat J.R.?’ And then he gets about this close, he goes, ‘You think I’ve been bad to him?’ I said, ‘I think you’ve made his life a lot more difficult than it needed to be’ and that was real," said the Hall of Famer.
