Update on Mick Foley's return to WWE, plus Austin responds to Lesnar.

Boy this week has been pretty filled with possible WWE comebacks talk. First Lesnar (segment from the interview is also here on the blog) who I definitely see as a possible return to the company at some point in the future, and someone I would definitely welcome back with open arms. Austin also retaliated to Lesnar's 'challenge' to face him if he had one more match in the squared circle via Twitter when he tweeted "So @DCBROCKLESNAR was talking trash about me...very interesting. Gonna finish my beverage and mull this one over...catch y'all tomorrow." And later on with "Trying to go to sleep..but this @DCBROCKLESNAR thing is winding me up a bit...relax....breath...relax...breathe....no use..to be continued.." Interesting, although as big a fan as I am of Lesnar, I'd personally rather see a CM Punk versus Steve Austin match if he were to wrestle once again. Although obviously either match would be huge. How about Lesnar versus Undertaker and Steve Austin versus Punk along with The Rock versus John Cena on the WrestleMania card next year? What an absolutely huge event that would be.  


Anyway, back to the point of this post. Interesting news regarding Foley:


WrestlingNewsSource.com has learned that Mick Foley will in fact be making a return to WWE sometime within the next few weeks. According to backstage sources, there is talk that Foley's return may take place around the time Survivor Series rolls around. Foley himself has also been teasing his return via Twitter and interviews.

Sources are also reporting that with The Rock returning to action at Survivor Series, as well as making an appearance on the final WWE RAW before the event, it's expected that Foley will make numerous appearances both leading up to and after Survivor Series.

Apparently some fans aren't too keen on the return of Mick to WWE after his rather lackluster run in TNA. I don't really think this is fair, after all he had to work with Vince Russo's writing, which isn't pleasant (to be kind). I think the way to bring him back is to have John Laurinaitis and his evil schemes revealed and have him removed as Interim General Manager, thus leaving a job that can then be filled by former GM Mr. Foley. I for one am looking forward to his return to the company anyway.
