HHH really just looks like the typical roid head gym prick . I remember you can see how much he is jealous of others like the rock in the 90s. And the time he got mad that Hogan out popped DX at summerslam 06 or 07 and started doing hogan mannerisms.

He's lucky he married into the business cuz he would have got devoured quite a while ago and would be doing Steiner shoots and be in TNA by now.

ache would have neve drew.

if nit for cheating on chyna.

which lead to the taker/cut off staredown.

which lead to his first me failed push.

he was never a performer on steiners level,..on the mic or via workrate.

if not for being overly and inaccurrwtely booked stronger than real logic.

he would have never drew enough to warrant a run in tna.
he also would have floundered in wcw as his previous clit buddies did.
before being rescued by hall's flair connection and braintrust.

I agree with what you're saying, Joe. But Foley is wack. Everyone talks about him getting HHH over. The only way he got over is by taking stupid bumps and creating a generation of idiots jumping off roofs.
Most of the fans look like him and can relate to a loser in their own image.

I don't get all the Foley hate either. I would understand it if he was on TV every week going over like TNA used him (it was TNA so :manny: ), but WWE wouldn't be using him like that anyway.

He could be great for WWE if they used him right. He has a name & is more than willing to put people over. Even when he loses the crowd generally stays behind him. He helped make Orton look like a bad ass before Orton got his real push towards the title. His match with Edge at Mania made Edge look better in the end. He could do that with Ziggler & Rhodes.

Plus I want them to bring Ambrose up & a feud with Foley could be a great launching pad for him. I would much rather he come up & feud with Foley than just show up & beat random jobbers like Yoshi Tatsu then fade into midcard hell.

Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer was asked by a reader during his radio show (available here) why WWE has not utilized Mick Foley on television more frequently since his return to the organization last November. He said this is due to wrestler/executive Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque’s lobbying, who is resentful of “The Hardcore Legend.”

Meltzer reports Levesque deprecates Foley whenever his name is broached in creative meetings. While Brian Gewirtz, WWE’s Senior Vice President of Creative Writing, feels Foley is a creative and a good performer, Levesque thinks otherwise. He says Foley ‘doesn’t look tough’ and can’t be taken seriously as an in-ring performer.

A former WWE creative writer told Power Slam in 2008 under the condition of anonymity that Levesque would disparage Foley whenever he appeared for the company, and in the process, diminished his value in the eyes of Vince and Stephanie McMahon.

“Foley is an out-of-shape nobody,” Levesque was reported as saying by the writer. “No one cares about him at all. Funaki puts more asses in the seats than Foley does. He should pay us for coming on our shows.”

Meltzer believes the real reason Levesque still holds Foley in contempt is because he gets irritated over the consensus of his closest co-workers that his memorable matches with Foley in 2000 ‘made him a star.’

Foley has criticized Levesque in the past; he took several veiled shots at ‘H in his 2007 autobiography The Hardcore Diaries. He also took issue online with Levesque belittling ring announcer Lilian Garcia with a remark he felt was hurtful during an April 2010 episode of Raw. Foley acknowledged then that he may have cost himself professionally for speaking out against Levesque, but felt he had to stand by his principles.














Or things could change :smugfavre:

you are just not familiar with foley's career to get it.

foley is legit,..the most scariest figure on tv for years.

plus real talk,..the entire attitude era revolved quality wise around foley as well.

your statements are not supported by the actual facts.

If true, HHH is wrong for disrespecting Foley, he's a legend and the legend responsible for making HHH a made man...

But he's right.

Foley's only real contribution at this pt in his career and health is the 'Old Diehard v. Young Gun' angle which ends in Foley losing 14 liters of blood in a great hardcore match. And in the PG era, how likely is WWE going to let Foley have a classic like the ones with Edge and Orton?

He got over by falling off a cage against Taker. That's a fact, he was a main event guy ever since.

When he turned face he had those videos of himself jumping off a roof. Which caused a whole generation of stuntmen. Fact.

Fans at shows look like him, that's why he get those pops. Go to any wrestling shows and tell me it's not populated by overweight guys with scuffy beards and long hair. That's another fact.

What does he have to contribute at this point when he loses his breath walking to the ring and needs the ropes to stand up?
