Sasha Banks Calls WWE Fans ‘Marks,’ Mick Foley Comments On Replacing Undertaker For UK Tour

Sasha Banks Calls WWE Fans ‘Marks’

It’s being reported that Sasha Banks and Bayley are largely unhappy with WWE at the moment. This stems from their WWE Women’s Tag Team Title loss to The IIconics at WrestleMania 36. Banks and Bayley reportedly laid on the floor of the locker room and in front of their hotel rooms in protest of the booking. There has been a lot made of Banks’ status with the company, with reports suggesting she tried to quit WWE.

Recently, she took to Twitter ahead of tonight’s Superstar Shake-Up on Monday Night RAW, calling fans “marks” in a since-deleted Tweet:

Mick Foley Comments On Replacing Undertaker For UK Tour

As we’ve noted, The Undertaker will no longer be taking part in the Inside The Ropes Q&A portion of the UK tour with Kenny McIntosh. Now, he’ll simply be doing a regular meet and greet session with fans. WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley will take his place in the Q&A, and took to Facebook to comment.

Here’s what he had to say:

RISE OF THE TAKER, TALES FROM HELL

Hey, sometimes things happen, and you simply have to do the best with the cards you’re dealt. That’s exactly what Kenny McIntosh did when he learned that his #InsideTheRopes#RiseOfTheTaker tour of #Manchester #Londonand #Glasgow was in danger of collapsing. Sometimes things happen, and no one’s at fault. I believe WWE was just doing what they felt was best to keep the mystique and aura surrounding the single greatest character in company history alive and well. It certainly wasn’t Undertaker’s fault either; in fact, he flew to Connecticut to convince WWE to let him do the tour in some way, shape or form. But when the contractual dust settled, Kenny found himself without the spoken word part of the biggest spoken word tour he’d ever put together – maybe the most highly anticipated spoken word tour the wrestling world has known.

So on March 1st, with his back up against the wall, Kenny reached out to me.

“Hey Mick. Kenny here from ITR. Keen to have a chat with you about an idea ive got that i think could be interesting. Please hit me up. Thanks”

I had come close to doing a few events with “Inside the Ropes” in 2018, but the negotiations had been done through

an intermediary, and in the end, the timing just didn’t work out. So I had never actually spoken to, or been directly in contact with Kenny before our phone call. He was extremely honest, and to the point; he pitched the idea of a show, moderated by him, with me talking about The Undertaker – our biggest matches, my take on some of his greatest moments, the impact of his amazing career onWWE and an entire generation of fans. There was no other backup plan – it was pretty much this show he was asking me about, or no show at all. While it may have taken six weeks to officially announce, the agreement between me and Kenny took about ten minutes to reach.

I’m thrilled to be part of the show. I will be getting paid, but for me #RiseOfTheTakerTalesFromHellisn’t really about the money. It’s a chance to keep hundreds of die-hard UK fans from missing out on a rare chance to meet The Undertaker (the meet and greets with Taker are very much alive). It’s a chance to talk about some of my favorite moments (of course, we’ll talk about #HIAC but UT and I had so many great moments together) with one of my favorite opponents. But probably more than anything, it’s a chance for me to help out Taker – a man who helped me so much in my career. We may be best known for one infamous evening in 1998, but had it not been for Taker putting me on the WWE map in 1996, so many of the good things that came my way would simply not have been possible. No #WWEHOF . No #RockAndSock , no WWE titles, no Al Snow #BestFriends reunion tours.Certainly, I would not be living in a world where I can walk around at age 53 wearing sweatpants and a fanny pack.

I’ll see you in a couple weeks – and I will be doing my very best to send you home with a smile on your face.
