Jim Ross Recalls Vince McMahon Pushing Back On Signing Mick Foley
On the latest episode of Grilling JR, former WWE Head of Talent Relations Jim Ross spoke about receiving that job and having the first talent he wanted to hire be Mick Foley. Ross explained that he had back and forth conversations with Vince McMahon about Foley joining the WWE, saying he was the only one who believed he’d work for the company and be a big star.
“When I went to Vince I said I had some ideas and guys I’d like for us to consider and I mentioned Mick, and he said ‘That ain’t going to work. How many he tried out here?’” Ross said. “I’m thinking, maybe you genius’ made a mistake. I know that you invented wrestling and all of you have an invested interest in the extreme knowledge that’s extremely higher than mine or anybody that I know. I don’t get it.
