Even though Mick Foley was a legendary WWE wrestler, Colette Foley had issues with the organization. Colette gave a joint interview with Mick for “20/20” in 2000 where she detailed the physical ailments her husband endured as a hardcore wrestler. After that aired, the shady side of Vince McMahon reared its head as the WWE honcho took issue with what Colette said. “Mick Foley is embarrassed about that interview and said that his wife would never do another one,” McMahon said on KNBR radio at the time (via the New York Post). McMahon went so far as to compare the Foleys’ interview to the infamous sit down with Mike Tyson and then-wife Robin Givens. This led to Mick confronting the WWE boss. “The main concern I had was that I did not appreciate any comparison between my wife and Robin Givens,” he told the Post.
The tension between Colette and McMahon remained, and she did not attend the Mick Foley Appreciation Night which was held near the end of the wrestler’s career. “Even though Vince did call up Colette and apologize … she didn’t feel comfortable in that world,” Mick said on “Foley is Pod” in October 2023.
That was not the only time Colette took issue with the WWE. Mick recalled in November 2022 when she was barred from going backstage during a big event even though other wrestlers brought their plus-ones. Colette may have been MIA from the WWE, but she was not out of the spotlight entirely.
