Eric Bischoff on why he let go of Mick Foley
During a recent interview with Inside The Ropes, Eric Bischoff revealed the real reason why he chose to let go of the Hardcore Legend.
“Context is absolutely key. You have to look individually. I let Mick Foley go because Mick Foley was determined. I liked Mick. Mick and I were friends. We socialized outside of wrestling a little bit.Our wives… I liked Mick… But Mick was determined to do things that were so high-risk. And in some cases not only to himself, well for sure to himself. But he also put fans at risk. He put the company, Turner Broadcasting at risk. He wanted to dive-off balconies outside of the ring, on the ring apron or on the floor outside of the ring. There’s always a chance that something could go wrong and a fan sitting at ringside could get hurt.
“And now I got a 300-pound guy that wants to jump of a f***ing balcony and splatter himself outside the ring and he may or may not hit somebody or hurt somebody that’s at ringside. I expressed that to Mick. ‘Mick, we can’t do a lot of the stuff that you want to do.’ And Mick I think took that personally and as a result he left. It wasn’t personal to me. I liked Mick. It was just, he was a risk to himself. And also to the company. So that was Mick,” Eric Bischoff said.
