Wrestling legend Mick Foley is done with WWE due to their relationship with Donald Trump following Trump’s comments about Rob Reiner’s death.
Earlier this week, Trump caused a firestorm when he mocked Reiner, who was murdered by his son over the weekend.
Trump’s comment about the assassination of Rob Reiner and his wife is one of the sickest reactions to a killing I have ever seen, period. It is what a seriously mentally deranged person would say, and it goes without saying this post would get you fired from most jobs. pic.twitter.com/qKEhf2lrhS

On Tuesday, Foley took to social media to announce that he was parting ways with the WWE due to their relationship with Trump following Trump’s comments on Reiner’s death.
“While I have been concerned about WWE‘s close relationship with Donald Trump for several months — especially in light of his administration’s ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who “looks like an immigrant”) — reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me,” Foley wrote. “I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy.”
“Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office,” Foley wrote. “Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, ‘I stands all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more.’
I have so much respect for Mick Foley. After what was said after Rob Reiner’s death on TruthSocial, I don’t blame Mick for parting ways with the company for now.

It is worth noting that WWE CEO Triple H is on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness, and has praised President Trump in the past.
