Update on Mick Foley’s Son Going to Work for WWE, Notes on Shinsuke Nakamura and WWE – NJPW

– We noted earlier that Tokyo Sports reported current IWGP Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura is leaving New Japan Pro Wrestling at the end of the month. In an update, they also noted that NJPW agreed to let Nakamura go. This is interesting as it’s been reported that his one-year deal was expiring soon anyway. Nakamura reportedly told the media that he’s looking forward to new challenges and to reaching new heights but it’s not known if he specifically stated he’s going to WWE.

– We noted before that WWE was hiring Mick Foley’s son Dewey Foley as a creative writer’s assistant. Dewey began working for WWE today as he posted the following on Instagram yesterday:

Tomorrow I start a new chapter in my life. In my life so far, I’ve won a whole bunch and I’ve lost a lot too. Some people believed in me while others thought I wasn’t worth a thing; that I would amount to garbage. But through it all, I remained myself. I became a drifter of sorts, not living in the same place for more than 6 months at a time. I wandered to places by myself, both physically but also mentally, and took road trips with no real destination or plan in mind just to see what it would be like. I wanted to explore as much as I could before I found something that would lure me in that I could call home. Maybe the WWE is my ‘home’. I will have to wait and see. It all starts tomorrow. All I can say is that hard work really can pay off and if you have a goal in mind, reach it. You hear it time and time again, but it holds true. It may not be today and it may not be tomorrow but it is going to happen if you do what is necessary to make it happen. Take a chance. Sacrifice things in your life while you still can to achieve something you’ve wanted to achieve for quite some time. It will be worth it.
