Mick Foley Once Told Promoter To Get Money From His Grandmother When Only 25 Fans Showed Up

Mick Foley is WWE Hall of Famer, and many fans would love to see him in person. That being said, sometimes a lack of turnout can be blamed on the promoter of the show.

During his Foley Is Pod show, Mick Foley told a story about showing up at an event, and there were only about “25 people there.” When Foley asked how he was getting paid, the promoter told him he’s getting his money “from the gate.”

Mick Foley went on to say that they both know there’s not enough people there to pay him. The promoter said that he can go to his grandmother’s house and get the money. That is when Foley told the man that he needs to take a ride to his grandmother’s house.

“It was as close to being a gangster that I’ve ever been pressuring this guy to drive to his grandmother’s house for a sweaty wad of bills.”

Mick Foley also said he eventually realized Vince McMahon never had a problem paying him. This was a different kind of situation for Mick Foley in 2007, but he eventually picked up the phone and called WWE again.

We will have to see if Mick Foley ever finds his way back to WWE television. The company can certainly use him for many things, but it’s all a matter of whether he wants to leave his house at this point.
