Mick Foley is a Hero

Mick Foley is a legendary wrestler (Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love). He's famous for taking the hardest knocks in the business. 

He forged a respectable post wrestling career as a writer. His memoir of his wrestling days - Have a Nice Day: a Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks - is a joyous, bizarre ride through one of the strangest parts of the entertainment industry. 

"I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion."

A lot of his peers - who  won't name because fuck 'em - have publicly supported Trump. But Foley is a hero and does things his way. 

Always.

As Atticus Finch almost said, a hero isn't a man with a gun.  Sometimes it's a guy with a chair.  Or in this case, a guy who regularly got whacked over the head with a chair but is still more cogent than the 47th President.
