Mick Foley explains why never joined the WWE creative team.
Mick Foley has been happy to sit on the sidelines over the course of the last few years, after a stint as the RAW General Manager. In that time however, Foley has launched his own podcast, has been providing voice work for WWE games and more.
On Foley is Pod when asked why he wasn’t more involved with creative in WWE, Foley gave the following explanation.
“With WWE, I didn’t — Clint Eastwood said in Magnum Force, ‘A man’s got to know his limitations,’ and my limitations would include not spending any extraordinary amount of time with Mr. McMahon. I love Vince but I don’t think I could operate. He has a certain way of motivating people and like Al Snow said on Wrestlers, ‘A pat on the back is two feet higher than a kick in the ass.’ I always responded better to the pat on the back and Vince is more of a kick in the ass type of guy,”
