WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has joined former WWE Champion Dave Bautista in endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris for president, adding his voice to a growing chorus of support within the wrestling community. Foley’s remarks come in response to recent comments from fellow WWE legend The Undertaker, also known as Mark Calaway, who praised Trump during an interview on his podcast Six Feet Under. In that conversation, Calaway lauded Trump for making politics "fun again," a statement that quickly garnered attention online.
Foley, known for his outspoken nature, took to social media to reply to his colleague, The Undertaker’s “fun” comment and denouncing Trump’s actions and questioning his leadership.
He said, “I think it’s really important to talk about the election. I think it’s important for everyone to have a moment where enough’s enough. I mean, for me, enough was enough eight years ago. The Undertaker is correct in saying Donald Trump made politics fun again... for about three weeks in 2016. But it’s eight years later and there’s absolutely nothing fun about this man.”
“To me, there’s nothing fun about a man who could be the next president of the United States, talking about the enemy within, making it clear that this was not a mistake. This is his go-to line: the enemy within, the enemy within, the enemy within, (via
News Republic) which he co-opted from Senator Joseph McCarthy, one of the worst people to ever grace our planet.”
He concluded saying, “I mean, I’m so scared that I was thinking about calling you a douchebag in this interview, and then I thought, ‘That’s a pretty strong word. Trump might come after me.’ And I made the decision not to call you a douchebag, even though you are one.”
The video concluded with Foley urging viewers to vote for Kamala Harris, further cementing his support for her presidential candidacy.
It is safe to say that Foley stands in stark contrast to The Undertaker’s political views, though he made it clear that their differences do not impact their personal friendship. The two wrestling icons, who shared an unforgettable rivalry in the 1990s, notably clashing in the legendary Hell in a Cell match at King of the Ring 1998, maintain mutual respect despite their opposing political stances.
