Ambrose's argument is that Foley inspired a generation of young wrestlers to do stupid shit for the sake of professional wrestling, a 'lost generation' which then had to suffer the repercussions of it. Like Edge. And now he's pissed that Foley can walk around, live his life with his wife and kids while guys like him and his peers are suffering for it. Hence #thanksmick.

I thought it was more about the fact that since Foley started doing big bumps in the Attitude Era, fans have always wanted to see more sick moves and spots thus making wrestlers like Ambrose have to take all the sick moves and spots.

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...

SuperSmackdown is live tomorrow night, fuck yes. I'm 100% expecting to see Ambrose there.

I hope I'm wrong but this storyline seems too smart for WWE TV. If he shows up on Smackdown this week I will mark very very hard.

Mick Foley probably had a very large say in the story, which would explain why it seems way above anything WWE creative could do.

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:

It could be either, that's just the way I interpreted his tweets/the confrontation.

I think that's exactly what this is all built around. Mick Foley pushed the level to such an extreme that guys like Ambrose need to just about kill themselves to attain that same attention. It's a smart storyline.

And honestly there is a lot of truth behind what Ambrose's character is saying. I was listening to a Cornette interview the other day and he said crowds now a days (the interview was conducted in I believe 2004/2005 somewhere around there) are so blood thirsty that it's difficult to attain a pop during matches anymore. When you see guys rip their biceps up in barded wire matches, or we see guys plunge through tables set on fire with light tubes on them nearly severing limbs, the wow factor is completely gone. It's why it was absolutely necessary for the WWE to limit the amount of blood and "high spots" in matches. Not only does it diminish the chances of the wrestlers injuring themselves, but it also keeps that "wow" factor intact. When you see something all the time it becomes same ol' same ol'.

So I absolutely think this feud can work and I love where this is being built around. It's real. I hope they go through with it. With Punk now chiming in, and Regal/Foley/Ambrose all referencing each other, it's looking like it's going to happen.

Yep, Ambrose wrestled more violent matches than Foley too. He participated in CZW's Tournament Of Death and he's wrestled numerous other deathmatches like a Tangled Web match (a big fence next to the ring also including chains and barbedwire etc..). WWE could make a really good storyline out of this.

Which is exactly why this storyline could be incredible. He's one of the very few that put his body through hell, yet still make it to the WWE. Mick Foley is the posterboy for extreme, hardcore wrestling. It's perfect.
