pwinsider said:All signs point to the announcement that Mick Foley had been "fired" on Impact Wrestling as his storyline exit from TNA. I am told that while Foley's deal with the company expires in September, internally, he was pretty much considered done and wouldn't be back.
It was pretty obvious based on Foley's Twitter comments (referring to TNA house shows as "Empty Arena Matches", among others) that he likely knew he was towards the end of that run.
While it was never spoken publicly, there was a sense of disenchantment and frustration from both sides about the relationship. TNA never really tapped into or promoted many of Foley's outside passion projects, while some within the company dismissed him as being hard to work with.
In hindsight maybe being yelled out by Vince on the headset wasn't that bad a job.
TNA never really got as much as they should have out of Foley. His work as GM/commisioner/share holder was overshadowed by the fact TNA always had at least three authority figures and so none of them stood out since their decisions were always overlooked by the others. Foley should have been used as a mouthpiece for a stable or as a manager for a wrestler or two. It would have been a more productive way to use him.
What did you think of Foley's run in TNA? Do you think he will go back to WWE?
