UPDATE: As Greg noted earlier this morning here on eWrestlingNews.com, several top WWE executives are reportedly
upset at Mick Foley. This is due to the blogs and tweets he made in regards to
the booking of Daniel Bryan around the Royal Rumble. Foley was very critical of
the company during that time about how they were booking Daniel Bryan and not
listening to the fans.

They’re likely not
happy about his latest blog (see below), where he explains not signing a new
legends deal because he was disappointed with the payoffs on the past two
videogames.

ORIGINAL: Mick Foley posted
the following blog on his Facebook page
earlier this
evening:

LEGENDS
DEAL

“To deal..or not
to deal – that is the question. As some of you may have heard, at this point, I
am opting not to sign my Legends Marketing Deal, which gives ‪#‎WWE‬ the right
to market my likeness on video games and action figures. I’ll be writing in more
detail about this in the next week or so, but it would be fair to say that,
despite strong sales, I have found the payoffs for the past two video games to
be extremely weak – in the 25% range of what most talent was
expecting.

Last year, the
explanation had something to do with the video game company going bankrupt – a
real shame for me, since I was heavily featured as three characters from the
“Attitude” era, complete with voice work. I haven’t heard this year’s
explanation yet, but, personally. I think the #WWE just wants to see if the
talent will accept a far lower percentage than had previously been given. If so,
it would proably be a good business move for #WWE, since very few current
wrestlers are going to jeapordize their standing with the company by offering
resistance – and most legends will probably come to feel like anything they get
from merchandise is better than nothing.

As for me: until I
hear a valid reason, I’m opting out.
