It’s tough to tell whether Raw GM Mick Foley is supposed to be incredibly gullible or foolish to be deceived by Stephanie McMahon, or if there’s something else going on.

Let’s not pretend for a second that Stephanie is on the up-and-up as a face commissioner encouraging “Foley!” chants and supporting her GM 100% (more on that later). So since we all know it’s a matter of time before her true colors bleed through the façade, we might as well try to figure out whether Mick has had the wool pulled over his eyes or if it’s possible that he’s in cahoots.

It sounds crazy, but it would almost be easier to believe that Foley will go along with Steph when she comes out as a villainess than to have him be duped by a paper-thin cover. Either way, right now, he looks silly defending Stephanie’s honor in front of the crowd each week.
