My opinion of the first episode? Mick is kinda an asshole to his kids.

I didn't watch it, but it's a shame if he's like that to his kids. I saw his Wife Swap episode, and barely remember that Mick as Chrisley is nightmare fuel, Brandon Walsh is Insane.

He is the same guy who through his autistic son under the bus to triple H didn't get mad at him and was the one who had his first 2 kids see him wrestle with the rock and get beaten up so bad his young kids are traumatize and are in tears. and after all he cared about was that the boys liked the match. So him being a dick to his kids does not really surprise me as in my opinion I think MIck Foley only cares about Mick Foley.

I felt bad for Dewey. Mick is Chrisley :/ Yeah that was painful to watch... And him telling Noelle he'd make sure no one would train her? Dick move, Mick dick move.

Is this a show I should avoid? Mick isn't really an all time favorite of mine, I'm not too familiar with Noelle, and I met Clown Guy at WM 29 Axxess, with Lesnar Guy. Of the 2, Lesnar Guy was way more friendly to fans.

I was expecting funny Foley antics I got none of that and it's actually tarnishing my view of Mick a lot.

Even if his kids are used to it, it would make me uncomfortable.

In hindsight I wish I hadn't watched it. I'll never look at Mick the same way again, it's sounds stupid but I feel like one of the few pure things about wrestling for me has been taken away. Shit has been bothering me all day.

If it helps, I felt the same way after reading Hardcore Diaries. It took a little while, but the Foley I know came out on some occasions soon after that - namely a video package TNA made while Mick was champion. Reality shows are heavily scripted and edited, and from the sounds of it WWE's even more so than anywhere else. I wouldn't trust the depiction of Mick on this show any more than I trust the depiction of anybody on Total Divas.

I hope it's mostly scripted but if it is what's the point of showing that the wrestler that everyone on a whole pretty much thinks is the sweetest person ever is really an asshole. Makes no damn sense to me. Like watching that legit depressed me.

Makes no damn sense to me. Like watching that legit depressed me. I can think of multiple reasons. 1. WWE are idiots and don't understand what regular humans consider to be good and bad. Consider most of their babyfaces and how they behave on the main shows. 2. Reality shows exist to have conflict. Mick previously had a pilot shot for a reality show for another channel that didn't get picked up because they were too happy (according to him) so they may well have manufactured a shitload more conflict for the show. For example, isn't one story on the show Noelle wanting to become a wrestler - but wasn't that common knowledge years ago that she had started training?

Yup, in fact he tells Noelle that he'd make sure nobody would ever train her.

I think it'll turn around... I am willing to give episode 2 a chance.
Funny thing I noticed, Barry Bloom is a producer on this show. He also produced Beyond the Mat.

If the Dewey stuff you're referring to is him keep getting shut down when trying to announce his news then I thought it was pretty obvious that was for comedic effect.
I've watched the first 3 episodes. The usual harmless reality family conflict. Nothing groundbreaking.
I will say when Mick toured the warehouse and saw the Hell in a Cell it was a sweet moment.

Mick may be not Todd Chrisley,but his kids have a lot more reality show potential then the Chrislies.

I always heard Foley was a bit of a douche so I'm not shocked. Also, anybody that sings Christmas songs outside of December is a loser.
