TNA News: WWE legend Mick Foley agrees to terms with TNA, set to debut as soon as September (w/Keller Analysyis) Aug 27, 2008 - 4:19:20 PM
Mick Foley has agreed to terms with TNA and will debut as soon as he is contractually free to do so. His WWE contract expires within days.
Foley's TNA deal was worked out with help from Spike TV, which may have subsidized the contract. He may end up being involved in other Spike TV projects.
Foley was dropped from WWE storylines once WWE learned that he was unhappy and likely not renewing his deal and instead interested in signing with TNA.
While there's been a lot of buzz about Foley in the locker room among wrestlers, the management team had been quiet about it and perhaps largely out of the loop, but were hopeful Dixie Carter was getting the deal done.
Keller's Analysis: This is a great addition for TNA, although how Foley is utilized remains to be seen. Jim Ross wrote in his blog that he hopes Foley doesn't wrestle for TNA much if at all because of his physical condition after years of being rough on his body. Foley has indicated he's not interested in the full time booking job. As an on-air commentator or commissioner he could add some star power and talent to TNA Impact each week. I'll have more on this in today's PWTorch Today PDF Bulletin (a VIP member exclusive).
