Doubtful. Half the roster has been in TNA at one point or another. It's wrestling. People move from territory to territory. Look, here's what you have to do to get kicked off WWE;
1. Appear on WCW Television while under WWE oral contract. 2. Throw a title in the garbage on National Television. 3. Charge 250K to Job to Chyna. 4. Play Quagmire with Stephanie McMahon. OH YEAAAAAAH!
Foley has done none of those. While I'm sure Vince will be cold to him for a while, I don't think this really makes much of a difference.

Foley is irrelevant now a days and was always basically a glorified stuntman. He doesn't get respect from most of the veterans in the industry. He's close with Terry Funk, Bret Hart, Undertaker, Lance Storm likes him. Glorified stuntman? Well, he may be, but his promo work in ECW blows away 95% of the talkers in wrestling and he was capable of creating Cactus Jack and Mankind, two excellent and rather different characters.

The guy sacrificed his body for his chosen art form well above and beyond the call of duty. Those who have worked with him claim that for all the beatings he gave himself, he never took liberties with his opponents' safety, and always protected them. He has main-evented numerous pay per views including SummerSlam and WrestleMania. On top of this, he's a 3 time former world champion. So I am curious; excluding those already inducted, what 100 guys would you like to see inducted before Mick Foley? Unless of course you were being sarcastic.... I wasn't being sarcastic...and there's plenty of guys even more than 100 that I could think of I'd rather see before him; Abdullah the Butcher Adrian Adonis Al Costello (Fabulous Kangaroos) Animal (Road Warriors) Antonio Inoki Arn Anderson (Four Horsemen) Ax (Demolition) Bad News Brown Bam Bam Bigelow Baron Von Raschke Big Bossman Bill Watts Blue Demon Bob Backlund Bobby Eaton (Midnight Express) Brian Blair (Killer Bees) Brian Pillman Bruiser Brody Bruno Sammartino Brutus Beefcake Buddy Roberts (Fabulous Freebirds) Carlos Colon Davey Boy Smith David Von Erich (Von Erichs) Dick the Bruiser Dino Bravo Dory Funk Jr. Dory Funk Sr. Dynamite Kid Earthquake Ed "Strangler" Lewis El Santo Frank Gotch Fritz Von Erich Gene Kiniski Georg Hackenschmidt Giant Baba Gorgeous George Wagner Gorry Guerrero Haku Hawk (Road Warriors) Haystacks Calhoun Honky Tonk Man Ivan Koloff Jake Roberts Jim Barnett Jim Brunzell (Killer Bees) Jim Crockett J.J. Dillon (Four Horsemen) Johnny Valentine Jushin Liger Kendo Nagasaki Kerry Von Erich Kevin Von Erich (Von Erichs) King Kong Bundy Koko B. Ware Leilani Kai Lex Luger Lou Thesz Luna Vachon Mad Dog Vachon Magnum T.A. Michael Hayes (Fabulous Freebirds) Michael Von Erich (Von Erichs) Mil Mascaras Miss Elizabeth Missy Hyatt Mr. Wrestling Tim Woods Nikita Koloff Ole Anderson (Four Horsemen) One Man Gang Orville Brown Owen Hart Pat O'Connor Randy Savage Ray Stevens Rick Martel Ricky Morton (Rock N Roll Express) Rick Rude Ricky Steamboat Rikidozan Robert Gibson (Rock N Roll Express) Rockin' Robin Roy Heffernan (Fabulous Kangaroos) Slick Smash (Demolition) Stan Hansen Stan Lane (Midnight Express) Stu Hart Sycho Sid Ted Dibiase Terry Funk Terry Gordy (Fabulous Freebirds) Tommy Rich Tully Blanchard (Four Horsemen) Vader Wahoo McDaniel Wendi Richter Ultimate Warrior Yokozuna Maybe next time I'll come up with 200 names.

screw Foley. The ungratful bastard would NEVER have been anything if it wasn't for Vince. Just like Hogan, Hart, Nash, Angle and the list goes on and on. The only thing that seperates those from Foley is that the others have talent. Hogan was the biggest draw ever, Nash didn't have THAT much talent but he was the top guy for a grip, and we all know the story with Hart and Angle. Foley was lucky that all he can do is take chair shots and stupid ass bumps. Don't even give me any crap about his stupid promos. Those went in the crapter after he left ECW. Foley just spit in the face of Vince and the WWE. Foley NEVER would have shilled processed canned italian bits, nor do guest spots on tv shows, and never ever would have writen lame ass books without Vince. So have fun in TNA with stupid ass Sharkboy bits and rub elbows with Black Machismo. Go ride your stupid ass rollercoasters and gain another 100 pounds. I for one am very grateful that you are leaving. That means I never have to see your lame ass cheap pops and stupid jokes and fat ass on my tv again! Later smurfer!!!! im on ur internatz loling ur opinyunz that right there... is the perfect way to answer to flamers. can you teach me to be like you?

Whether you like him or not, Foley is a multiple time WWF champion. He was a huge main event star during the biggest boom period in wrestling. He was a part of some of the most memorable hardcore matches of the modern era. The HIC fall is one of the most famous moments in wrestling, and will never be repeated. He was part of the highest rated segment on Raw of all time. He was a major player in ECW and changed the modern wrestling landscape. His books are some of the best wrestling books written, sold millions and became a best seller. He has achieved a hell of a lot. Yet you expect to be taken seriously by saying that Brutus Beefcake deserves to be in the HOF more than Foley? You think that all Foley has done pales in comparison to the contributions to the sport made by the Fabulous Kangaroos? You think Slick, for managing Akeem and teaching Kamala to bowl, deserves a spot ahead of the man who was part of Raw's highest ever rated segment?

Clearly you just dislike Foley, because that stupid list proves nothing. Whether you like him or not, Foley is a multiple time WWF champion. He was a huge main event star during the biggest boom period in wrestling. He was a part of some of the most memorable hardcore matches of the modern era. The HIC fall is one of the most famous moments in wrestling, and will never be repeated. He was part of the highest rated segment on Raw of all time. He was a major player in ECW and changed the modern wrestling landscape. His books are some of the best wrestling books written, sold millions and became a best seller. He has achieved a hell of a lot. Yet you expect to be taken seriously by saying that Brutus Beefcake deserves to be in the HOF more than Foley? You think that all Foley has done pales in comparison to the contributions to the sport made by the Fabulous Kangaroos? You think Slick, for managing Akeem and teaching Kamala to bowl, deserves a spot ahead of the man who was part of Raw's highest ever rated segment? First off, I don't dislike Foley. I clearly stated I'd rather see a lot of other people go into the HOF before him, apparently you'd rather see it from the perspective that if he doesn't go in soon, then he doesn't go in at all. I enjoyed much of what Foley has contributed to wrestling, but I don't consider him any better than anyone I named. Secondly, the list isn't stupid. Those are people I'd like to see inducted, whether you agree or not...it's my f***ing list...so shut your hole. Also, while not as popular as Foley...Brutus was pretty damn over in his heyday...I don't consider the HOF a popularity contest, so just because Brutus doesn't compare to Foley's popularity...doesn't mean he should be overlooked first. Ok, obviously you don't know ANYTHING about the Kangaroos, since they're pretty much one of the biggest reasons why we have tag team wrestling where it is today...they helped shape it and make it popular. But again...let's overlook that for ol' Mick. Slick was a personal choice, he still worked for WWE for a long enough time and made enough of an impact to get inducted. It seems to me, that it's your argument that proves nothing. What you seem to believe is the more popular a guy is, the more imparitive it is to induct first. I look at it from a completely different perspective...but hey I guess since I get off to the whole "falling off the Cell" then I'm apparently some sort of a anti-Foley mark. Thanks for clearing that up, pal!!!

If the people in this thread can't stop lowering their IQ levels and resorting to flaming then this thread isn't going to continue much longer.
