But to this day I still try to find an address to write to him or just thank him for giving me a chance. I think we're all a combination of good and bad qualities and you hope the good qualities outweigh the bad and it seems Vince got it wrong there for a while. But I was there when he did good things, I saw him do good things.” Obviously Mick still likes Mr. McMahon and has some good memories of the former CEO of the biggest wrestling promotion in the world.

Foley’s opinion on the lawsuit
Regarding the lawsuit, Foley said, “I'm not going to pass judgment until I see the (documentary series), but I think one fortunate thing is that whatever he did or didn't do, I don't think many of us are going to let that mess up our memories. He was instrumental in creating some of those memories, so I'm going to pay him respects until I know more about what may have happened.” What do you think of the proceedings brought against Mr. McMahon?
