Prowrestling.net is reporting that Mick Foley is apparently upset with his current announcing position on Smackdown! According to various sources, Foley is said to be pleased with the announcing job itself, but is becoming increasingly frustrated with Vince McMahon constantly screaming at him through his headphones during broadcasts. It is being reported that Foley is considering leaving the company if his current situation does not change or improve.
On a side note: his contract is also running out very soon, sometime this year.
If this news is true its a shame because i've enjoyed mick's work for the past couple of months.

Good. Foley's annoying as hell on commentary to me. But, I don't watch Smackdown often so *shrugs*

That's horrible to hear. I think he's a great colour commentator and it'd be a shame if he left. I wonder what Vince is bitching at him for.

I haven't watched SmackDown in a while, so I can't really comment on how JR and Foley have done together. But this news really doesn't surprise me. Vince does the same thing with every announcer now and it's the reason he eventually forced Joey Styles off of RAW. He kept trying to change him and feed him JR-like lines over his headset.
If Foley does leave, the simplest solution would be to convince JBL to retire for good and go back to announcing on SmackDown.

Vince sounds like one of the worst bosses you can ever work for. What a douche.

"Look at me! I'm Jerry Stupid Lawler. I like puppies. Big Puppies, Little Puppies, Clean Puppies, and DIRTY Puppies. I'm from Memphos. I make fun of woman cause I have no self esteem. Your Jerry Lawler, but I'm Santino Marella!"
I think Santino should do commentating for SmackDown!.

Foley does seem to ramble on and go off topic a lot while commentating matches, so I could see how Vince might get upset with him.
Pairing JBL with Ross might just be the best option if Foley leaves.
