Mick Foley arrived at the building in Long Island two or three matches into the TNA house show on Friday night. He spent a lot of time catching up with Brother Ray of Team 3D, but he visited with everyone and was described as very friendly. Foley legitimately got lost on his way to the ring and panicked momentarily. He brought his entire family to the show and hung around backstage until after the main event.

Powell's POV: The buzz backstage was that Foley has signed a six-month deal with TNA, but I have not been able to officially confirm the details Foley told people that he was burned out in WWE and needed to get out of there. He is not expected to resume his color commentary career, but he will have what one source described only as an "on-air role."

I've heard from a TNA source since I posted everything above this paragraph the Dot Net Members' site on Sunday, and was told that it would be "strange" if Foley signed a six-month deal. That being said, Foley has been telling people he signed a "short-term deal," so I can't rule out the six-month rumor.
