TNA News Mick Foley issues a statement regarding his future, confirms TNA report Sep 3, 2008 - 04:21 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Mick Foley issued the following press release on Wednesday via the Gillespie Agency regarding his departure from WWE. "As of today, I am a free agent in the world of professional wrestling. I will always be grateful to WWE for affording me so many incredible opportunities over the past thirteen years, but feel the time is right to pursue other endeavors. "This move frees me up to participate in more film, television and voice roles, autograph sessions, speaking engagements, volunteer work, and will allow me the time to start work on a third novel, a fourth wrestling memoir and a new children’s story. "Over the next few weeks I will be working with my management team at Braverman/Bloom Co., Inc. in pursuing a couple of unique investment opportunities. "I can confirm I have had discussions with TNA Wrestling and have come to a short-term agreement. I am very excited about the specifics of this agreement and the potential it holds. "Mick Foley is available for booking through The Gillespie Agency. For more information contact Elaine Gillespie (elaine@GillespieTalent.com) or Nola Armstrong (nola@GillespieTalent.com). Powell's POV: It's official. Foley has signed with TNA. It remains to be seen what he means by "short-term agreement." One Foley friend told me recently that the deal has been in the works for several weeks and that he would not have left WWE without another job lined up. Obviously, the big questions now are when he will debut and what his role with the company will be. Thanks to Mike Landau of WrestlingHerald.com. HELP SUPPORT DOT NET!
