"It made me laugh" - Mick Foley reacts to being mocked by former WWE Superstar

Mick Foley didn't take Matt Cardona's shot at last night's Game Changer Wrestling show seriously.

Last night, Game Changer Wrestling made its debut at The Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City for their first-ever traditional pay-per-view event. There, Matt Cardona faced Joey Janela and wore a flannel shirt on his way to the ring with some unflattering words about Foley on it.

This morning Mick Foley took to his YouTube channel to address the situation, stating that Cardona's stunt made him laugh.

"Hello everyone, it's The Hardcore Legend Mick Foley addressing the Matt Cardona situation. Matt took a shot at Mrs. Foley's baby boy last night with his interesting choice of ring attire. And while I appreciate the GCW fans of flipping him off on my behalf, while I appreciate my friend The Savage Gentlemen, whose wedding I officiated, that's real, wanting to do battle with him on my behalf. The truth is from a personal standpoint. I was happy for him. Yeah, it made me laugh because I felt like Matt was done wrong in WWE. He reached for that brass ring, he grabbed it, and was asked to return it."

Mick Foley believes Matt Cardona took the "Drew McIntyre route" following his WWE release

Foley went on to state that he believes everyone who gets released in professional wrestling has a choice to make.

The hardcore legend spoke on how one may continue to do the same things they did previously or they can attempt to reinvent themselves as Drew McIntyre did. Foley believes Cardona has taken that route since his release.

"Ultimately, everyone who leaves a major company has a choice to make when they hit the independent scene," Mick Foley continued. "And that choice is, do I just do the same things I did the things that I was known for, or do I reinvent myself? I call that the Drew McIntyre route, the road less traveled. That is what Matt Cardona has done."

Foley went on to describe how Cardona has "completely reinvented himself." The three-time WWE Champion also praised Cardona for becoming "one of the most enjoyable and valuable assets" in today's current wrestling setting.
