EB: I was sad to see it because I’ve gotten to know Mick pretty well over the last couple of years. I’ve spent some time talking to him. Mick is such a passionate guy and he’s got a very clear vision of what he hopes to be able to contribute at this stage in his career to this industry and the talent in the industry. I know he probably came up short. I don’t think he was able to fulfill a lot of his own goals. We all know that he is going to have some hip surgery. I’m sure the stress of that and the stress of being a General Manager of RAW and what that takes out of you. With the travel and living up to the expectations and just doing the job. It’s a very draining thing and a challenge. Who knows? Maybe we haven’t heard the last of Mick Foley but we wish him the best. I hope he gets through this surgery great. I am sure he will. He’s lost a lot of weight. He’s gotten himself in shape. That’s probably going to go a long way to making his rehab a lot easier and therefore quicker. I’d like to see him come back to RAW with a little bit of energy, a whole new outlook and some decent wheels under him.
