Foley is Crud

Everyone talks like she's the second coming of Alison King. She's a good looking girl, but not worth going mental over. You've probably seen several better on your last night out. Again, probably shock at her being a Foley.

Its not that surprising really, Foley's wife is/was a decent looking woman and if he wasn't overweight with a missing ear, shit beard and dreadful dress sense ol' Mick isn't that horrendous looking.

 

I remember seeing a black and white promo shot of Foley from either late 80's or early 90's and he's handsome as fuck in that actually. Haven't seen it since, points for anybody who can find it. 

 

EDIT: It may have been this, can't really remember.

So, Foley posted a blog on his Facebook page regarding the 'Divas Revolution' section of last nights Raw. I've stuck it in spoiler tags as its lengthy and obviously discusses last nights show.

 

 

 

WE NEED A WOMEN'S PIPEBOMB

Stephanie McMahon - WWE] did a great job of kicking off the ‪#‎DivaRevolution‬ on July 13. Really, she did. She gave a great, heartfelt introduction to three of the brightest stars on the WWE horizon - ‪#‎Charlotte‬ ‪#‎BeckyLynch‬ and ‪#‎SashaBanks‬. It was a night that literally brought tears of joy to my eyes. So why, just five weeks later, have those tears of joy been replaced by the anger and embarrassment of hearing "we want Lesnar" chants during the Banks/Nikki Bella match?

 

Quite simply, we need a women's pipebomb. Stephanie may have kicked off the #DivaRevolution on WWE Raw - but we need a Diva/woman/female competitor to take that ball and run with it. We can't just gradually be SHOWN the revolution. WE can't have the revolution EXPLAINED to us. We need one of the participants to make us FEEL it. We NEED that promo that perfectly captures the time and place, the pride and passion of this revolution. We NEED a CM Punk pipebomb. We NEED that "Austin 3;16 says I just whipped your ass" moment, that Dusty Rhodes "Hard Times" promo - something that hammers home the point to even the densest, drunkest members of the ‪#‎WWEUniverse‬ that times have changed - and chanting for anyone - even if it is a returning hometown hero like Brock Lesnar - while women are working their asses off to entertain them is not just disrespectful, but unacceptable.

 

As a wrestling fan, I was embarrassed. As a friend of both participants in the match, I was hurt. In my wrestling days, I would have tapped into those feelings of embarrassment and hurt and let it out in a promo. Often, those promos were effective; in a few cases, they even became iconic. Not once did I feel that one of those promos would have been better served by committee. I know that times have changed, and that the days of sending a superstar out to the ring with just a microphone and a deep-seeded belief in the importance of their message are largely over. But why not take a chance and let one of the women walk out to the ring with that same opportunity I was given? The same opportunity Punk was given...and Austin...and Dusty...and Flair...and Funk - and so many of the masters of the microphone who won us over with their passion, while not giving a damn about grammar, sentence structure, witty retorts and back and forth banter. John Cena - WWE Universe was given the ball last night, and took it in for that figurative touchdown. Heyman is almost other-worldly in his conversion ratio. I honestly don't know if any of the women can deliver on the microphone with the effectiveness of a Cena or a Heyman. But they deserve the chance to try. All I am saying, is ‪#‎GiveDivasaChance‬.

 

To this day, I count the lyrics to a 1983 David Allen Coe song "The Ride" as one of the driving forces of my career. Dean Ambrose even quoted it a couple of years ago. I get goosebumps each time I hear it or even read it.

He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride."

Maybe early-80's outlaw country isn't going to inspire every wrestler the way it inspired me...or Ambrose...and possibly a few others along the way. If not, I urge the women to find whatever it is out there that inspires them; that will allow them to be ready when asked to explain the significance of this moment in time. Do whatever it is that allows you to keep your "pipebomb" at your disposal. In the end, making folks feel what you feel inside is what this business is all about.

Just remember, it's a long, hard ride.

 

 

 

 

 

I don't understand how he can feel 'embarrassed' that the crowd were chanting 'We Want Lesnar' when he's the hometown guy and it was promoted througout the show that it was his homecoming. Also, the pipebomb is extremely overused these days

AJ did a fucking pipe bomb and it didn't do shite for the womens division. Fans have been programmed by WWE to either ignore, or treat women wrrestlers like eye candy for the last two decades. A single action like calling a few talented women up (and only Charlotte and maybe Sasha are any good in my opinion), or one of them cutting a snarky insider promo isn't going to change things. Just saddo Foley sticking up for his wank bank fodder again.
