Mick Foley Speaks on Son’s Prospects After WWE Exit

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley spoke out regarding his son Dewey’s future following his release from the WWE this June (per Wrestling Inc.). He mentioned Dewey on his Foley is Pod podcast, saying would likely perform better with fewer constraints, and commented that he would probably find employment elsewhere, since Dewey was used to intense schedule hours during his career with the WWE.

“He would be a really valuable guy to have when writing promos. I know I’m his dad and everyone thinks highly of their child, but I’m going on what people have told me,” Foley said. “They really like him and I just wanted to say what a great job he did. If it is the end of his wrestling run, it’s a really great run.” Foley continued that he’s unsure what the future holds for Dewey, but expressed love for his son and pride in his accomplishments.

Dewey started work with WWE in 2015 and later took a position as lead writer of 205 Live before joining the black and gold NXT creative team. He made appearances on the WWE Network’s “Holey Foley” reality series in 2016 and 2017.
