Mick Foley addressed and debunked long-standing rumors about a lucrative WWE ambassador contract, while also highlighting his ongoing charitable efforts through his one-man shows.
Speaking on “Casual Conversations With The Classic,” Foley clarified his WWE financial status: “I don’t have an ambassador job that pays me $2.88 million as has been reported… I had an ambassador job for two years that paid me literally 1/14 of that… I don’t think I’d be out on the road 200 days a year if I was making $2.88 million a year to be an ambassador.” He affirmed, “I received $0 because I’m not an ambassador… I just want to clear that up as an exclusive. I do not have any Ambassador contract.”
However, he values his current Legends deal with WWE, noting it’s “better than it was 20 years ago.” Foley also detailed his “shirt off my back auction” at his live shows to benefit the Cauliflower Alley Club.
“There’s only one organization in the country whose main purpose is to help out wrestlers in need, and that’s the Cauliflower Alley Club… What I’m doing is every night when I do my one-man show… I auction, I usually have a flannel and a wrestling shirt… the average price is about $500 and 100% of that goes to the Cauliflower Alley Club. So we’re up to about $6,000 so far, and I’m hoping to hit 20 by the time the tour is done.”
