Mick Foley Refuses to Let Vince McMahon Allegations Impact His Memories

The allegations made by Janel Grant against Vince McMahon have significantly harmed his reputation as a business leader. Claims of sex trafficking and sexual abuse have overshadowed McMahon’s legacy as a big name in the entertainment industry. With that said, Mick Foley has a different stance on this entire matter.

Janel Grant accused Vince McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis of serious misconduct, including sexual assault, emotional abuse, and sex trafficking, with allegations dating back to March 2019 and a lot of things have come to light after the lawsuit was made in January this year.

Netflix will be releasing Vince McMahon’s documentary titled ”Mr. McMahon” on September 25th and there is a lot of hype and skepticism regarding the series for very good reason.

While speaking at Comic-Con Northern Ireland, the upcoming Netflix docuseries about Vince McMahon was mentioned and Mick Foley shared his thoughts on it. Foley said he’s trying to find an address to thank McMahon for giving him a chance in the past.

Foley noted that while McMahon sometimes seemed to mix up having good traits with outweighing bad ones, he has seen McMahon do good things as well. Foley feels sorry for McMahon’s current troubles but noted that he and other wrestlers won’t let their memories of McMahon get affected by Vince McMahon’s lawsuit and allegations. Despite the current situation, Foley wants to focus on the positive experiences he had with McMahon.

”I genuinely liked him (Vince McMahon). I mean, my relationship was never the same with him after I left WWE and went to TNA for three years. But to this day, I’m still trying to find an address to write to him, just to thank him, you know? For taking a chance on me. I think all of us are a combination of good traits and bad traits and you hope your good traits outweigh your bad traits and it seems, perhaps, that Vince got it backwards there for a little while. But I’ve been there when he’s done good things. I’ve seen him do good things. When I was writing books, I wanted to essentially do something like a chicken soup for the wrestling fans’ souls about some of these real heartwarming moments and he was like, ‘Umm, Mick, I’m afraid that would come across as self-serving.’ So, he was someone that did the right thing for the right reasons a lot of the time. I feel really bad that someone I care about got into something that seems pretty unsavory. I’m gonna hold off judgment until I see the… but I think one thing that’s fortunate is whatever he did or did not do, I don’t think many of us are allowing that to mess with our memories. He was instrumental in creating some of those memories. So, I’m choosing to appreciate him until I learn more about what may have gone down.”

The lawsuit is currently on hold pending federal investigation. Nonetheless, it remains to see what will become of Vince McMahon in the end, as things simply do not look good for him, but Foley will continue to have love and respect for him till then.
