Kane Comments On Mick Foley Cutting Ties With WWE Over Donald Trump

WWE has a long history with Donald Trump, and the Hall of Famer has also brought an interesting focus into the company that caused an unexpected exit.

Mick Foley recently said he is cutting ties with WWE because of the company’s relationship with Trump and his administration. Foley’s decision followed a post from Trump on social media referencing the deaths of filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele.

Mick Foley’s comments led to a response from fellow WWE Hall of Famer and Knox County, Tennessee mayor Glenn Jacobs. The Big Red Mayor appeared on Newsmax and said he has always known where Foley stands politically. Kane may disagree with this decision, but he still respects Foley.

“Well, certainly it’s no surprise. I know where Mick (Foley) is at politically and we’ve had our discussions about politics, and we’ve always been able to keep them civil and I wish that could happen more on the public platforms altogether. One thing is we live in a country where we are free to disagree about things, and I think Mick is wrong, but nevertheless, he’s entitled to his opinion. I will defend his right to say that, even if I do think he’s wrong, and that’s the beauty of America. I wish that would kind of be all over the place as opposed to just wrestling.”

Triple H currently serves on Trump’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. It would be interesting to see how many more ties WWE and Trump have before everything is said and done.

Donald Trump suggested that Rob Reiner’s death was connected to his criticism of the Trump administration. After that, Foley said he would no longer appear for WWE and would not sign a new Legends deal. This controversial decision was, obviously, something that got fans talking.
