WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley
announced on his Facebook page that he has agreed to a handshake deal
with WWE. "My official contract with WWE runs out soon, but we have
mutually agreed to continue to work together on a case-by-case handshake
deal - the same way I did some of my best work (remember the 2004 Randy
Orton program) with WWE in the past," Foley wrote.
"The only minor difference (other than not getting a weekly check...ouch) is that I will work prospective WWE dates and projects around my schedule, instead of working my schedule around prospective dates. With the success of my live shows (thanks everyone) I needed more flexibility in my schedule. But WWE has shown some interest in partnering with me on these live shows in the future, and a WWE produced, first-class, multi-media one-man Mick Foley show has always been my long-term goal.
"As WWE showed with the roll-out of the new network, when they go into something, they go ALL in - and I'm crossing my fingers, hoping they'll go ALL in on a fall 2014 15th anniversary "HAVE A NICE DAY" production - even if it's just for a limited run."

Powell's POV: Foley is involved in the WWE comic book, which he also mentioned in his full blog on the matter. I'm sure there will always be a place for Foley in WWE, and it makes sense that he has given himself more flexibility for his comedy shows, which I'm looking forward to seeing next month. Thanks to Dot Net Member Chris GST for passing along the update.
