Mick Foley Thanks AJ Lee, Blogs About Her Retirement

Mick Foley wrote about AJ Lee's WWE retirement in his latest Facebook blog. He noted that her retirement "just doesn't seem right," and that it would be fitting if he be "allowed to bask in the warmth of the rays she helped make possible."

"?#?AJLee? was a pioneer ? fighting her way up against all odds in the WWE developmental system, proving that unique talent, heart, and determination were just as important (if not more so) as the physical attributes that were generally accepted as necessary to find a spot near the top of the women's roster," Foley wrote. "The success of AJ Lee, as both a wrestler, and a character were eye-opening for both fans and WWE front office personnel. She proved that big things come in small packages and that both role models and romantic images need not adhere to a one-size-fits-all policy. Surely, she helped pave the way for an anti-diva like Paige – WWE to succeed, and when/if this women's wrestling revolution materializes, I hope the contributions of the tiny girl from New Jersey with the big dreams and bigger heart will not be forgotten."
