Mick Foley: ‘I Nearly Quit WWE Over The Montreal Screwjob’

Mick Foley spoke with the Seaway News promoting his comedy show in Cornwall, Ontario, next week. Check out the highlights:

On expectations for his shows: “I don’t want people to think it’s a comedy,” said Foley in a telephone interview with Seaway News. “It’s not joke-telling. It’s a wrestling-centered storytelling show that is based primarily in humor, but doesn’t have to be funny. It’s like taking fans on the same kind of emotional journey that a wrestling match would.”

On nearly quitting WWE over the Montreal Screwjob: “This will be my first return to Cornwall since ’97 when I quit WWE over the Montreal Screwjob with Bret Hart,” he said in an interview with chinlock.com. “There was a Monday Night Raw that I missed following that pay-per-view out of protest. Then when my wife read my contract to me over the phone and I realized I’d just breached my contract and couldn’t work anywhere in the world for five years, I did return in Cornwall. I try to take every city where I’ve had history and incorporate it into the show.”
