Mick Foley confirmed to Long Island Press writer Josh Stewart that he would be leaving WWE.
"I can't say much until after my contract expires, which is September 1st. But at this point, there is a good chance, through mutual agreement, that I will not be renewing the contract," Foley said while leaving a phone message Thursday evening. "Creatively, the announcing job wasn't working out too well."

Please send him to TNA to help them with there awful storylines. He's always had some good ideas I could see him helping the talent there.

I wonder why he might call it quits.

I wonder why he might call it quits. Because he's sick of Vince screaming at him all throughout the show threw his headset.

Wow that sucks. I'm a huge Foley fan and I'll miss him. Looks like he just couldn't deal with Vince anymore.

"Abyss just slammed Mick Foley on the thumbtacks" I could imagine hearing that

"Abyss just slammed Mick Foley on the thumbtacks" I could imagine hearing that I want that to happen so bad! Foley to TNA! 1 or 2 Hardcore matches with Abyss, then let him work behind the scenes.

They might as well install a revolving door on the SmackDown announcer table.

I'm glad Mick Foley is leaving. It shows Vince McMahon that he can't just boss people around and criticize them and expect them to take it.
Mick Foley has been in the WWE since 1996 and has put his body and life on the line numerous times for Vince...at this point in his career WWE needs him more than he needs WWE. WWE is the one that's ratings are dropping and popularity is at an all time low....but Mick Foley is a legend and any book, movie, tv show or other wrestling company that he decides to go to will only benefit from his presence.
Even Shawn Michaels said on his DVD...don't ask me to do something that I don't want to do....because I do this because I WANT TO not because I HAVE TO and the second that I don't WANT TO do it anymore....I'm going home.

Could be cool for him to go to TNA- he could be the one to bring the hardcore back to Abyss.

I could see him do a similar promo to what he did with edge Then Abyss would snap and beat the crap out of Foley Foley vs Abyss Barbwire Massacare 3 would be awesome Then id love to see Foley take D'amores job
