KELLER'S TAKE
KELLER'S VIP BLOG: Foley doesn't get to change subject with a 5,000 word distraction (preview)

Mick Foley wrong a long (almost 5,000 words long) blog about how Dave Meltzer hurt his feelings and showed a loss of passion or objectivity because he stopped liking his promos as much as he used to - or something along those lines. I like reading books, so 5,000 words doesn't scare me, but getting through 5,000 words largely obsessing about someone's motives for critiquing your promos without seriously addressing the obvious - that they're not nearly as good as they once were - does test my patience.

Anyway, that's not the subject Mick Foley gets to distract us into writing about. What I want to hear - and if he takes nearly 5,000 words to write it, I'll read every word more than twice - is how he can reconcile and justify watching from his position as special referee of the match Tommy Dreamer subject his very young daughters to their father taking a beating four feet away from them?

I know this subject may seem to stray too far away from Mick Foley's speciality, which is talking about Mick Foley and all of Mick Foley's accomplishments in varied media and Mick Foley's fan following and what Mick Foley can offer the industry that nobody seems to fully appreciate and other things Mick Foley, but I'll try to relate it to him enough that maybe he'll tackle it.

Mick Foley subjected his young sons to a dozen or so (was it really 20?!?) stiff unprotected chairshots to the head at the Royal Rumble '99 against Rock in the I-Quit match. He once said he regretted it in retrospect. I was appalled at the time didn't think it took any 20/20 hindsight to see how sick and inappropriate that was.

KELLER BIO: PWTorch editor Wade Keller has been a leading wrestling reporter and analyst since launching the Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter in 1987. He has covered pro wrestling full time via the newsletter, a pro wrestling radio show on KFAN in the 1990s, a successful 900 wrestling news hotline in the 1990s, the PWTorch.com website, and the PWTorch iPhone App in the 2000s.

He has interviewed dozens of pro wrestling's biggest names in their longest insider interviews, most often ranging from 2 to 7 hours in length. He has interviewed for the Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter top wrestlers ("Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Bill Goldberg, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, among many others), top promoters and executives (Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, Eric Bischoff, Jerry Jarrett, Jim Cornette, Paul Heyman, Bill Watts, Jerry Lawler, several WCW vice presidents, and others), legends (Lou Thesz, Roy Shires, Nick Bockwinkel, Verne Gagne, and others), and dozens of other wrestlers in long-form historical interviews.

He hosted the "Ultimate Insiders DVD" series in the mid-2000s which was nationally distributed at major chain stores including expansive interviews with Matt & Jeff Hardy and Vince Russo & Ed Ferrara.

He has been quoted as an expert wrestling analyst by dozens of major newspapers, national cable channels, radio stations, and magazines over the last 23 years including MPR, Fox News, the Washington Post, ESPN Magazine, and many others.

PWTorch VIP members currently hear his analysis on a daily basis with the daily Wade Keller Hotline, featuring a 10-20 minute overview of the news, breaking news, and analysis of TV shows (and more-than-occasional rants).
