Mick Foley urges Vince McMahon to KICK Donald Trump out of coveted WWE Hall of Fame

Pro-wrestling legend Mick Foley recently took to Twitter and requested WWE chairman Vince McMahon to remove Donald Trump from the WWE Hall of Fame. Foley’s request came after Trump supporters started a riot and stormed into the US Capitol building on January 6. "Hey Vince, how about throwing this sorry son of ******* out of our Hall of Fame?" wrote Mick Foley. The soon to be former president of the United States was inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013, the same year as Foley.

The 55-year-old made the request after posting a video on Twitter, that shows some injured police officers leaving the US Capitol building during riots. "This is on you, Mr President. Every single injury today is on you," wrote Mick Foley as he showed his anger towards Donald Trump. Vince McMahon is yet to comment on the situation, but fans from all over the world are supporting Foley and demanding him to take Trump out of the WWE Hall of Fame.
