The following video has leaked online, although as to what the purpose is, I can't yet tell you. It features Mick Foley being confronted for what "his generation" did to the wrestling business by WWE developmental talent Dean Ambrose, who had a dark match last night at the Raw taping
A bit of an odd one. Is this legit beef Ambrose has with Foley or worked? If it's the latter then can we read into it that Ambrose will be moving up to the main roster pretty sharpish? Seems a bit too random.
Could Ambrose get onto the main roster and straight into a feud with Foley?
(ps, apologies if thread has already been created, I can't see any threads in the General WWE section due to forum problems)
EDIT: Here is a great recap of the feud so far for those that don't want to read through 20+ pages of us all marking out like little kids. Credit to Beatles123 for this:
It started with that vid. Since then, he's been trying to make Foley be exposed as the cause of, as he puts it, "A lost generation" trying to emulate Foley and getting hurt, as well as Dean himself. He had been through countless deathmatches in CZW and injured his body, as well as seeing his friends not survive because of it.
He has posted vids of people injuring themselves doing backyard wrestling and such, as well as posting pica of his scarred body and making it known that he was being told by WWE to go home when he was arriving to debut because of Foley. He feels he's holding him down like HE'S a criminal when Foley is the same thing.
Foley does not want any part of it because Ambrose would not show him respect and not mention his children. in addition to Regal telling Mick to be careful due to his psychological mindgames, Ambrose counters by saying he never did mention them, but Foley IS blinding them to reality. Foley says he can't get into this like Cactus Jack did in 1995 with his "Cane Dewy" promo. not at his age and not with someone he feels can seriously take liberties in the ring. Ambrose mournes the loss of Foley's "Testicular Fortitude" and calls him, in terms he can understand, "The cowardly lion of WWE"
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
As an idea it is very, very clever. Turning Foley's own Anti-Hardcore legacy (for which he is most famous for, really) back on him. It only works out the mouth of a bona-fide hardcore wrestler with a chip on his shoulder - step up one Jon Moxley aka Dean Ambrose.
The legacy of ECW is thumb-tacks, baseball bats, planks of wood covered in barbed wire, broken glass and tables on fire. Before FCW, Dean went through Combat Zone Wrestling. He knows this world, which is why he can pull this feud off. He legitimately has seen a lot of kids cutting themselves up, destroying their bodies trying to be like Cactus Jack. That is the kernel of truth, that's all you need. The rest of this shit he can invent and emboss as he likes.
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
A couple more Regal twitter updates regarding Ambrose:
William Regal @RealKingRegal
It's started .RT @TheDeanAmbrose: #wwe I Just watched Edge's full Hof speech. Big fan of Edge, too bad he had to retire so young #ThanksMick
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
Words can't describe how excited I am about the arrival of Dean Ambrose in the WWE. I think a lot of people who don't know his name will be knowing his name within a few months. He's going to be one of those superstars that REALLY makes you smile in terms of thinking "wow, this guy is going to be a star!", the same feeling that I had about Stone Cold after his famous speech, The Rock gave me after taking over the Nation. This guy is IT.
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
I've only just managed to watch the actual video, that was bizarre! Maybe Mick and "Dean" are trying to work an angle for themselves with the office by creating hype online but I dunno if it's working or not...
there was a report about the confrontation and it was stated that a wwe writer was watching closely
The exchange was apparently arranged by WWE. We don't know if it will be used for something when Ambrose comes to the main roster or if it's some kind of FCW angle. We do know that WWE writer Ed Koskey was watching the whole thing and taking notes. Once again, you can check out the video below:

In other news, I continue not to give a crap about a cheap promotional stunt, even if @CMPunk thought it was interesting. #nocuttingtheline

Dean Ambrose @TheDeanAmbrose
Btw..I have zero fear of reprisals from the office for wat ive said about mick foley cuz nobody high up in #wwe has any respect for him
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
Damn, I like this guy a lot, seen a couple of his promos from FCW and he's something, I don't like Foley but whatever gets Abrose on TV It's cool, dig the name too.
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
Well it is the "Old School" SmackDown or whats it called. Sure would fit the picture if Foley was there. Hell of a debut if he started by beating up Mick Foley.
Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel
I really, really like this guy. I really hope he debuts tonight. This would really be the perfect time for him to do so, since Foley will be there tonight.
It is WWE, unless Moxley and Foley have been given the all clear to cut their own promos and write the feud themselves. Of course they can drop the ball.
