RepoMan Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 At this stage in his career, Foley should be a backstage promo teacher for the new lads or something. He has a lot of knowledge about the business, knows how to get over on what you've got, and how to push yourself further. Â Regardless of what I think of him personally in recent years, I know he has a lot to pass on to today's talent. Â Do I want him as an on-screen talent? Not really. Sure, he'll do the occasional good promo, but other than that he's pretty pointless. Â But there's definitely room for him in the business somewhere, and I hope he utilises it properly. Even if I do have to take him as an on-screen talent, if he can up his game to pull others up around him then it has to be good.It just depends if he has any credibility left to make any feud worthwhile for the opponent.

Magnum Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'm with Cleetus. The last time I was interested in anything Foley did was when he started commentating on Smackdown. In TNA, he's contributed nothing worthwhile, and I actually think his presence as an authority figure has been more of a detriment than anything, especially in the last few weeks. It's not 2000 anymore - he could get away with his lumberjack shirts and sweat pants as Lovable Commissioner Foley because he had only just finished making Triple H a star, and you knew a great skit with Edge and Christian was just around the corner at any given point. Now, he's just a fat scruffy slob who looks like he can't even make the effort to change into a clean pair of pants for a 5-minute segment to try and convince fans that someone has trusted him to be the figurehead of their organisation.

burgedaniel Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 With the WWE bringing back managers for guys with shit promos, my moneys on him coming back and managing someone and being their mouth piece. Although Foley's usefulness and popularity are diminishing all the time I can see the wwe being all over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Mr Foley is on his way out Sounds like he's got another book that nobody will read to shill on Vince's show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 5, 2011 Moderators Share Posted June 5, 2011 Lets also not forget opening the show with him playing guitar. Â I won't. It was one of my favourite cold opens to a Wrestling show in forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 5, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 5, 2011 The Bisch made that lump of wood sing like a Yukon Bear trapper on his annual visit to the brothel. One of the best openings to a show in the history of any form of entertainment. The lights were down the gee-tarr was out, Bischoff had his head looking up to the clouds above, thinking of the time DDP let him have a go on his wife. Not only a talented man, but the coolest man over 50 on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Of Swing Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hasn't Foley been taking the piss out of TNA on and off for ages? Â They should have fucked him off ages to be honest and even though I wouoldn't say he is a waste of space in general he clearly can't be arsed in TNA.

Syl Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 A couple of tweets from Mick:  -I am getting the sneaking suspicion that many of you would like to see me come back to @wwe -Wow, I'm overwhelmed by the responses. But it looks like a toss-up - 90% WWE, 5% Impact, 3% just want me to be happy, 2% try nude modelling!  -Yeah, @itisbrandon that first screeching of the tires on a @wwe show (when and IF it happens) is likely to get a nice reaction.  I used to be such a huge fan of his. Shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of my favourite cold opens to a Wrestling show in forever. Â Same here. I thought it was an awesome bit of work. Even without the context afterwards (i.e. that he can play guitar and Jarrett couldn't despite claiming to be a country star), the performance itself was magnificent. Â EDIT: Also, back on-topic, I think Foley should become a manager. He could easily be our generation's Captain Lou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzfan Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 E.Bisch is the man. Wasn't that the episode with the surprisingly excellent Jarrett/Foley loser-leaves-TNA match as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I'd like to see Mick back in WWE. Ideally, replacing Booker T on commentary. I think he's setting up a Jason Mewes vs Eric Young match, though Young might be replaced with a wrestler people have heard of if Foley goes back to WWE.
