Mick Foley talks about leaving WWE before Montreal Screwjob, Undertaker on WWE Warehouse

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently talked to the Seaway News in anticipation of his speaking performance in Cornwall, Ontario, next week.

Foley on expectations for his shows

“I don’t want people to think it’s a comedy,” said Foley in a telephone interview with Seaway News. “It’s not joke-telling. It’s a wrestling-centered storytelling show that is based primarily in humour, but doesn’t have to be funny. It’s like taking fans on the same kind of emotional journey that a wrestling match would.”

Mick Foley On Quitting WWE

“This will be my first return to Cornwall since ’97 when I quit WWE over the Montreal Screwjob with Bret Hart,” he said in an interview with chinlock.com. “There was a Monday Night Raw that I missed following that pay-per-view out of protest. Then when my wife read my contract to me over the phone and I realized I’d just breached my contract and couldn’t work anywhere in the world for five years, I did return in Cornwall. I try to take every city where I’ve had history and incorporate it into the show.”
