WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley took to Facebook earlier this week and criticized WWE on how younger talent is utilized in the biggest pro-wrestling promotion on the planet.
In the video, Foley noted it felt like a joke when Karrion Kross debuted a goofy look on the Raw which resembled Mad Max. However, he also appreciated AEW and how talents and storylines are seamless in the company.
“Hello, this is hardcore legend, Mick Foley, I’d like to title this video: ‘WWE – We’ve got a problem’. Because I think you do. And that problem is that WWE is no longer the place for talent to aspire to. Part of it is because AEW is doing a great job of attracting great talent, improving talent, building new talent, and creating new storyline. But part of it is the problem of your own making.” Foley said in the video.

It’s ironic that Foley listed exactly the things which are currently a matter of concern for WWE. Him getting heat for being honest is something the fans on the internet did not like.
And it is this exact mentality why WWE remains the way it is in regards to the overall product, everything Mick said in that video was 1000% correct and that’s on WWE if they can’t handle the truth

As of now, no other Hall of Famer or WWE veteran has spoken openly about the beef between the Foley and the officials. This is a chance for WWE to step up their game before other wrestling veterans say the exact words like Foley.
