Mick Foley Responds To Ric Flair’s Recent Comments About His WWE Criticisms

Mick Foley has responded to recent comments made by Ric Flair which were in response to Mick Foleyā€™s recentĀ criticism of the WWE product. Flair said:

ā€œThe problem I have is [Foley is] not there. Like, to me, Mick has become a Monday morning quarterback. Heā€™s only observing what heā€™s watching on TV. Do you know what I mean? And I donā€™t think itā€™s fair to the company to be ostracized or scrutinized by someone thatā€™s not thereā€¦[Foley]ā€™s just saying ā€˜this can happenā€™, but if [he is] not there on top of it, watching it take place or unfold or come together, whatever the terminology would be, itā€™s just hard for me to understand how you sit back and critique it.ā€

Mick Foley has responded with the following on Facebook:

"BEING FAIR TO FLAIR
Based on the cavalcade of comments I received beginning with the words ā€œDid you hear what Ric Flair said?ā€, I thought I would eventually have to respond. But thereā€™s no story here. Ricā€™s criticism of me was mild at best; besides heā€™s Ric Flair. Heā€™s pretty much earned the right to speak his mind about anything he wants in the wrestling world.

I had the right to criticize WWE, which I didā€¦

Ric Flair had the right to criticize my criticism of WWE, which he didā€¦

But when we get to a point where I start criticizing Ric Flairā€™s criticism of me criticizing the WWE, the whole thing starts to sound pretty silly, doesnā€™t it?

So letā€™s not go there.

Instead of addressing a situation that isnā€™t actually there, let me share a little Foley-Flair story with you: following the Natalya vs Charlotte WWE NXT match at NXT Takeover on May 29th, 2014 ā€“ the match I still consider to be THE game-changer in?#?WomensWrestling? in WWE ā€“ I spent several hours (more hours than any writing project Iā€™ve done in the last three years) trying to express just how meaningful that match had been. I received a message from Charlotte telling me how much she appreciated my words, and I wrote back ā€œYou know, your dad and I might not agree on muchā€¦but we both believe in you.ā€

WOOOOO!"
