WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley announced he's officially "parting ways" with the company over its continued ties to President Donald Trump in a post shared on his official Facebook account Tuesday (December 16).

Foley, who had publicly criticized Trump in the past, said that the president's "incredibly cruel comments" about legendary director and actor Rob Reiner's death were "the final straw for me."

"While I have been concerned about WWE‘s close relationship with Donald Trump for several months — especially in light of his administration’s ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who “looks like an immigrant”) — reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me," Foley said. "I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy. Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office. Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, 'I stands all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more.'"
