It's been indicated that Foley has not been happy the past few months with WWE, actually he has for a while, but it's now being reported Foley might stop watching Raw after tonight's show unless things don't start shaping up.
Tonight’s Raw May Be Mick Foley’s Last As A WWE Fan

Now it's no surprise Foley has been disappointed with WWE just like most of us. But Mick Foley not watching Raw anymore isn't like an ordinary WWE fan defecting. It's losing an inspiration, it's losing the man who's title win back in the Attitude Era put WWE over WCW in the war. It's losing the man who let Taker throw him off the cell twice, it's losing the man who put it all the on the line, lost some of his ear in the industry, lost some of his teeth, and is still one of the nicest guys out there. Losing Foley as a WWE fan is a major fan loss and really makes WWE look weak, you lose Foley's support, you'll have others follow him. I've kind of been jumping on that ship too (but I still got a pokemon league showdown to participate in so i'm still sticking around here).
Last week, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley took to Facebook to express his continued anger and disappointment with WWE’s product, saying he is, “one of those people on the verge of becoming a former WWE fan.”
The comments caused an intense discussion across the Internet. Ratings are at a 20-year low and things don’t seem to be changing any time soon, but WWE makes a lot of money. Former WWE Champions are threatening to turn their back on the show out of boredom and frustration, but nearly every wrestler competing on the independents wants to end up there. What’s the answer? Is it just different perspectives? Different priorities? An entertainment product changing with the times and leaving the people with old reasons to love it behind?
