Mick Foley Talks About Dolph Ziggler Being Held Back, CM Punk Leaving WWE

Global Force Wrestling has released the latest installment of their “The Journey” video series, featuring Part 2 of their interview with hardcore legend Mick Foley. Foley talks about the state of independent wrestling, breaking into the business and CM Punk’s decision to leave WWE. He included the caption:

“The first part got some great feedback, and I think this one will too. As long as we live in a world where Dolph Ziggler can’t get a push, there need to be options for aspiring wrestlers.”

Foley later wrote the following on Twitter regarding Dolph Ziggler:

“The purpose of my post. I’m not to suggest that @HeelZiggler join @GFWWrestling – just using him as an example of how subjective @WWE decisions can be. I do agree that #DolphZiggler is a terrible ring name. A couple years ago, I sent a very detailed e-mail to the powers that be with a suggestion of how he could get out of the name, and simultaneously garner some mainstream media attention…but never heard back from those in charge”
