I've never been one to Foley bash even though I certainly find myself at odds with his opinions at times. I'm a big fan of opinions, whether they are horsebleep or valid - discourse is good, and he certainly gets people talking.
I know some feel he pushes an agenda, but I think he genuinely feels the way he does about international wrestling or at least it comes across that way in his writing. So I give him a pass on his views of the sport. I realize his employ with UWW may cause some to view this with a fair share of skepticism, but it's also quite possible that he is employed by UWW as PR precisely because of his views - not the other way around. I'd think it more likely than possible.
I saw this this morning and then tweeted my concern about nothing mentioned in his mailbag this morning to both Pyles and Foley. Foley and Dziedzic are the guys I tweeted should be responding publicly to this. A bunch of tweets followed (one exchange highlighted by El Jefe above), but at the end of the day, he did express publicly that he was angered, disappointed and frustrated by what was going on there - significantly so in the last six weeks. When pressed by another poster, he stated that he would be addressing the issue this coming week.
I think that's pretty fair, especially considering his position. I'm willing to wait to hear what he has to say about this publicly in the coming days. I'd like to see the same from Dziedzic but I guess we will see what happens.
Somebody digs up dirt (Pyles), officials publicly respond, people question the response and follow up, more internal pressure and response, and so on and so on. That's the way this media thing should work IMO.
