How close Mick Foley was to signing with TNA...
 

From PWInsider

Does anyone else get the feeling that while Mick went inside to check his messages, a mysterious van pulled up and kidnapped his kids or something?

Truth be told is this is what I pictured

Mick: Oh Hey Vince, I'm going to sign TNA
Vince: Don't do that
Mick: Why not? Do you have a better offer
Vince: No Mick, but if you do sign with them... I'm going to kill your children
Mick: Haha, your such a kidder
Vince: Mick, I'm serious, I will kill your children. Look outside
*Foley looks outside and sees Triple H holding a gun to one of Mick's kids*
Mick: Yes sir, I won't go :(
Vince: I know.
*clicks*

I'm intrigued somewhat by this...

"Mick also said that the WWE would do “a lot of things” for him and that they didn’t necessarily offer him more money, but the WWE made it so that he decided not to sign with TNA."

Vince has pics of The Rock bending Mick over in the shower stall.

"Call me Mr. Rocko"

Mick: "I want to go to TNA."

Vince: "That's great, but just remember that we own the copyrights of every single character you've ever gone by, so if you go to TNA, you will be legally barred from using "Mankind," "Cactus Jack," "Dude Love," or "Mick Foley," or any similar name resulting from modified spellings or related references.

Mick: "But... but... my legal name is Mick Foley!"

Vince: "Nope, WE own that name now. Muahahahahahahahahaa!!! So you gonna go to TNA?"

Mick: "Nah, I'll stay. Wouldn't want my wife to get sued when she calls out my name in bed." :naughty:

I'm assuming, for starters, it's easier to plug his book on the media circuit since he's still associated with WWE.

Cynical but true :y:

Vince: Mick, you know we own the rights to those Chef Boyardee commercials? We can play them whenever we want... We can ruin you Mick...

Mick: Vince, nooooooo

Vince: What was it Mick" Mmmmmm, Beefy" SAY IT FOR ME BITCH!

Mick: Yes Master......

Linda: Vince, what have I told you about engaging in S&M with the employees.

Vince: Tell you first....

Linda: That's right bitch.

According the Powerslam magazine (the only wrestling publication Lance Storm reads)...

Foley's been a busy boy (perhaps too busy even to pop down to GAP)

:lol:

Pure evil.

He probably had one of his snipers shoot one of his kids in the leg, to prove he meant business.

Ever seen Looney Toons: Back in action?

"Oh no you don't. You can't stop me from saying Mic...Mi....Well waddyaknow?"

i got a feeling it has something to do with mick getting movie roles is exactly why he signed with wwe

And pimping out his books.

yea

i have to admit all i got was his biographies so them hyping all his other shit actually did'nt even make me wanna buy them

the biographies are good though

yea, that's exactly one of the reasons he said. Just better deals like that. He also mentioned he would like to do a deal where he would help Taker against the Ortons for one match or something.

This story first broke a couple weeks ago on the BTR radio show. The guys interviewing him were real surprised as nobody knew until he mentioned it. It's still up on the site if you care to DL it.

I think that realistically, Foley wouldn't wrestle on Smackdown. I think Foley and Carlito would be a good feud.

That's cool.
