Mick Foley turns down WWE return
As reported before, WWE Superstar Hulk Hogan will be returning to WWE RAW on Monday’s Christmas themed show. It is to be noted that WWE Legend Mick Foley has turned down an offer to appear in the show, presumably as Santa Claus. Mick Foley posted in his facebook account that he turned down the offer due to his personal commitments. He has also asked the fans not to hold any sort of grudge against the Hulkster as a result of this since it was completely his own decision not to attend RAW on that special night. This is what he posted:
HO HO HOGAN?
What about FO- HO-HOLEY?
I appreciate so many people jumping to my defense at the announcement of Hulk Hogan as the special guest for the Christmas episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. All of your "what about St Mick" and "Foley is Santa" comments are much appreciated.
But the truth is, I was asked by WWE if I would like to travel to Minneapolis for Raw, but had to turn the opportunity down, due to a prior commitment. I'll miss it. I'll watch, and probably wish I was there. But as important as appearing on Christmas Raw is to me, honoring a commitment means just a little bit more.
I have really enjoyed being part of the holiday season in my own small way in WWE, and hope to be part of the Christmas episode in 2016.
So don't hold it against the Hulkster or WWE, I wasn't forgotten or disrespected in any way. Just previously engaged.
