Mick Foley Taking Rest of December Off

[CH Punk]

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Mick Foley is taking the rest of the month off from appearing on WWE programming … but the company insists he hasn’t been suspended or released.

A rep for WWE tells us, “Mick is taking time off to spend the holidays with his family and do his volunteer work as Santa. He has not been released or fired.”

The move is slightly odd, considering he’s in the middle of a storyline involving Sami Zayn. Plus, he’s the main authority figure on Raw and no mention was made of this on the show this week.

WWE officials add, “He will return to Raw on Monday, January 2.”

I can't say I'm going to miss his yelly promos.

Thanks Mick.

Foley needs some time away to clear his head. He feels like a different Foley from his first night.

[Spider2024]

Sami Zayn is screwed.

Rather abrupt but no complaints here.

Mick (as Santa: YOU THINK YOU WANT THAT NES CLASSIC! BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE HELL IT'LL PUT YOU THROUGH! THE CONTROLLER ONLY HAS A TWO FEET LONG CORD! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO ONLY HAVE 8 BITS! IT CHANGES YOU FOREVER!

Well, yeah. He'll have to deliver gifts to all the good little boys and girls around the world. He can't do that and ALSO worry about what will be Segment 7 on The Longest Running Weekly Episodic Program in Television History.

Wouldn't it be great to just take a month off from working because you felt like it?

[fw91]

Well Foley love Christmas as much as Mr.T loves his mama.

[The Yes Man]

Best Christmas present I'll be getting this year.

[Pushed to the Moon]

Finally it's Stephanie's time to shine!

I hate seeing Mick on TV these days. He really just seems off to me and it makes me feel uncomfortable. He seems to operate in this weird space where he thinks the show is real and I don't think he is kayfabing. He was always so with it, bit I think his 100's of concussions are taking their toll.

I think there might be something wrong that they're covering for with this few weeks of abrupt vacation; some kind of health thing he's dealing with. He's not in the greatest of shape these days.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Considering how much Mick loves Christmas, it does kinda makes sense he's taking time off now.

Spoiler: Here's why

[MAD TITAN]

Foley only works one day a week, but I suppose you can't show to T.V. with a frosty white big beard and hair looking like Santa Clause.

What a weird fetish he has.

[slappy]

Is it softball season already?

[bearned]

They could have worked this into the Zayn angle, like have Foley be found lying knocked out backstage and have people accuse Sami of doing it or something.

An anonymous WWE source informed us that the request was made by the Foley family due to what can only be described as a growing physical manifestation of Mick's love for Christmas. It seems the closer he gets to December 25, the more uncontrollable his erection for Christmas becomes.

This would make sense of Sami Zayn's recent comment, regarding a face to face promo with Mick Foley, was like "being in the presence of a sleeping giant being awoken and filled with a jolly yet terrible resolve."

It is uncertain if the WWE is aware that's a direct reference to Pearl Harbor or not. Nonetheless, the comment prompted an inquiry which has led to his Yuletide leave.

Furthermore, when Stephanie McMahon was notified of the situation, he INSISTED that Foley remain on TV and in her immediate presence at all times as, this anonymous source quotes, "She hadn't seen one in years and found him thus to be the most fascinating man alive," but after a tense behind doors meeting with HHH that involved a lot of "male sobbing," she ultimately agreed to Foley's absence.

Rest of the month makes it seem like a bigger deal than it is I think because it's likely the equivalent of 1 RAW that he's missing out because the Boxing Day one will be a best of 2016 surely
