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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZcwPGLqQ9I

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:

Look on the first page.

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"

To be continued...

Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel

I can't blame WWE for letting this cool down. They know people are anticipating Ambrose's debut. Every WWE TV show as of late, there's been a sign for Ambrose in plain view of the camera. Who knows how many signs are popping up, considering this? A bunch of workers are looking forward to his debut, as Foley said he has a lot of friends in high places within WWE. Ambrose's debut should happen when we least expect it. Moreover, there have been a bunch of debuts in the past month since Wrestlemania. They are going to quite clearly arguably "save the best for last" with Ambrose (out of this batch of debuts; I'm sure there will be more debuts later in the summer). What we're probably experiencing right now is simply the calm before the storm.

Yeah, I am OK with them cooling it down because right now there are too many debuts in such a short span of time. Lord Tensai, Ryback, Sandows, Cesaro etc. Ambrose will probably be a late Summer or fall debut.

Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel

Once he debuts, be prepared for constant criticisms about his look and lack of physique, and how he isn't "believable as a threat".

Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel

Just a quick thought. What if Foley flips the script and attacks first? WWE could then travel back and fill in the pieces for the public at large. Knowing Mick's penchant for storytelling, I am still inclined to believe this feud is going to happen at some point.

Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel

Not sure if this is credible but...

- Speaking of Foley, his current online angle with Dean Ambrose is the first of its kind. WWE wants to introduce Ambrose to the WWE audience by means of social media outlets such as YouTube and Twitter. WWE officials are happy with the work of Foley, making many question what is storyline and what is legitimate. Just in case you didn’t realize, everything put out has been storyline.

Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel

This is still a work. The fact that some think this is really a work shoot and the feud is done is the reaction the WWE wanted you guys to have.

Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel

I'd like to think they are just trying to prolong this to make it fit better with a big-match PPV like Summerslam. Ambrose is still wrestling dark matches and I don't think Foley would be a guy to legit do what he's apparently done but I don't know him so take that for what it's worth.

However, the momentum they had around Wrestlemania seemed like too much to ignore. Maybe they were just testing the waters with the smarks by seeing how we'd react to it before they pull the trigger on the real thing later in the year?

This is my take on it. In my opinion, the WWE works the IWC a lot more often than we tend to believe. I'm sure some shit is leaked out just as a rib on another guy. Judging by what wrestlers say in interviews about the dirt sheets, they read them often. They kind of have to in order to understand what the smarks are thinking. To them however, we are all marks. No matter how many shoot promos we watch, or dirt sheet articles we read, we still don't know whats going on backstage, and where their mindset is.

I digress though, I think the Ambrose/Foley feud has A LOT of potential, however I would like to see them run this type of program after Ambrose established himself on the main roster. This isn't really the ideal debut program, in my opinion.

Re: Dean Ambrose confronts Mick Foley at WrestleMania Hotel

My eyes lit up and heart skipped a beat when i read the start of your post :D

Yeah, i hear ya, no point getting our hopes up again. I still can't help it though, it has to happen sometime. Maybe when we least expect it and on at a lul time/a show many are already down about would be a good idea. Not here though. Oh well. This crowd don't deserve it anyway.
