When not making some of the industry's leading females feel a tiny bit awkward, Mick Foley's not been shy about levying criticisms at WWE for their at-times confusing booking strategy - or total lack of one.

His personal nadir with the product struck a chord with the broader fanbase for how many others felt the same as it was occurring, but few audience members (even the most '#CancelWWENetwork' of the madding horde that would emerge following the advent of the service) looking on were either rich, stupid or shaken enough to practice what Foley preached when Daniel Bryan didn't win (or even enter) the 2014 Royal Rumble.

Following a stream of upset tweets, the 'Hardcore Legend' took to Facebook to flesh out his fury with bizarre dedication to a banter comment about smashing his screen, then followed through on his odd threats not with a brick but a bat - videoed for the benefit of whichever councillor eventually takes Foley's case after a career of not properly treating his concussions.
