I know, you can make it up as you go along. But at the end of the day, Foley is just being petulant in my opinion. He deserves whatever they offer. Nothing else. Don't be butt hurt. I'll try my absolute best.

I love how people are getting upset with Foley for being upset about not getting paid what he agreed apon. I'm sure everyone would be up in arms if they received their paycheck and it was $20 short.

If that were the case, we'd justifiably sue for breach of contract. Assuming the lower pay wasn't already in the contract, in which case we'd have no reason to be up in arms. It's pretty simple. A facebook rant (or whatever) isn't going to fix anything. Of course if you read what he said, he says "I'm opting not to sign my legends marketing deal." That means the deal has yet to be signed because the previous payment was "lower than expected." Not "lower than guaranteed." My paycheck in contractually guaranteed. Obviously his wasn't. That sounds like his fault in negotiating the first contract. If my boss said, "You should get 1500, 2000 a week, but nothing assured" and I got 1000 that's my fault for signing such a contract.

There was no "agreed upon" -- he's upset because the royalty payments for the videogame have been slashed enormously from what they were pre-2012. There are likely a multitude of factors involved in that, though. WWE 13 had the THQ bankruptcy thing, as Foley says, and 2K14 had Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan in it. I'm sure those guys didn't sign on for the game for pennies. Warrior's fee alone probably radically altered the overheads (and thus the net profit) which then affected all the WWE contracted talent's royalties.

Well, regardless the first the company (THQ or Yukes) went bankrupt so he lost out there because if they went bankrupt he didn't get his full amount. And if the second company didn't meet what he thought it should then he has every right not to want to sign another contract. I just don't see how people can be complaining about his right not to want to resign.

I've been a fan of Foley for as long as I can remember, but all he seems to do these days is complain. I think that we'll have to rule out Dude Love for the forseeable future

If it isn't worth it to him so be it. But he's not entitled to more money on this run just because he thinks he should get more. A contract's a contract.

But for whatever reason the sales weren't where he thought they would be for his merchandise then maybe to him it just isn't worth it to sign another Legends contract unless they rework it more to his liking.

Ive had a feeling that we wouldn't get an elite Dude Love. At least not in the very near future.I wouldn't rule it out completely though.He may still sign a renegotiated contract at a later time. I would think ,however, the window of time on that debut attire TRU Mankind is rapidly closing. So, if there is anything to worry about here, its that figure. Which is a shame since they've had plenty of time to get that out to us.

Weak? No money is better than some money then ? What the heck is his problem That's what I was thinking, I mean really?! Mick seems like a nice guy, but that's a bit of a douche thing to say.

Dude Love should've been the new exclusive that was announced. Not that worthless Rock exclusive.

Foley is crazy if he's demanding Hogan/Warrior type money.

Good! Dude Love was such a terrible Gimmick. Crap, absolute trash. Just release the Mankind mail away figure already Mattel and we can be done with this character. Go on, get on with it already!

He had 3 versions in WWE13. So somebody thinks he is worth having in the game. He got screwed on last years offer because THQ went bankrupt. This years low offer from 2K Sports has nothing to do with that. 2K has plenty of money.

As much I hate to admit, yeah terrible gimmick, even Foley himself dislikes dude love , but I think it'd been nice to have so we can have the 3 Faces. Mankind mail away would fill in that gap for me though. Really hope they update us on this and come through with this!

I wonder if the WWE game sales are just way down last year because of the new systems and stuff. I've heard that GTA 5 saved the industry from a very horrible software sales year. Anyway Warrior was only a playable character if you pre-ordered the game so its stupid if they paid Warrior alot for that. Most including me just bought it later for cheaper or used. Anyway I except them to maybe bump Foley's pay up a bit and he will sign eventually.
