Foley Undergoing Surgery
Mick Foley posted the following to his Facebook page, noting he would be undergoing back surgery today:
SURGERY TOMORROW
It’s a relatively minor procedure that I hope will produce major results – as the pain these past two weeks has just been excruciating.
I wonder if the origin of my lower back woes began from having to carry Al Snow through so many matches. Boom!
Merchandise Problems At Mania
We previously reported that WWE released Alan Rebhun, the Vice President of Venue Merchandising and Operations, for problems with vendors at Wrestlemania 30, which he was in charge of.
The report of the vending company going broke is largely inaccurate, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, and the company didn’t actually lose as much money as was reported. Merchandise sales at Wrestlemania XXX surpassed projections by $300,000, and was only $100,000 from being the largest in WWE history. The Wrestlemania XXX Superstore actually brought in $1.4 million in four days, and the shortage of money was in reference to a theft at the store.
Rebhun was told he was being let go for financial reasons, not because of any wrongdoing on his part.
