USA Today has an article about the deadly epidemic that is drugs in wrestling, and the Wall Street Journal talks about WWE’s international expansion.
Mick Foley talks about his current role in WWE here. “I’m not sure what it is,” Foley told Brian Fritz. “But, I know the company really appreciated it when I went to China on short notice (as a company spokesman for the Special Olympics), when I really didn’t have to, and I volunteered for a couple of months to go down and talk to a lot of the guys in training following the problems that we had with the Benoit tragedies in June. So, I really had some things that I wanted to say to the younger talent. So, even if I don’t wrestle, I feel as if I’m still doing productive things when I’m there or even when I’m not on the air – behind the scenes, I feel like I’m helpful in some ways.”
