WWE legend Mick Foley has called the company's decision to release stars like Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Keith Lee, Mia Yim, Franky Monet and others as "downright baffling".

Foley posted a lengthy rant on Facebook about the situation, and he didn't hold back. In particular, Mick was annoyed that WWE seemingly went out of their way to wreck some of the workers involved before cutting them loose.

He pointed out that the promotion is "supposed to make the people they hire more interesting, not less".

The multi-time World Champion and WWE Hall Of Famer then opined that Keith Lee's recent 'Bearcat' persona wasn't as good as his NXT one; he also said that Mia Yim's work "as Jade in TNA" was way more interesting than anything WWE had ever done with her.

Foley then said it wouldn't "take a genius" to reunite Karrion Kross and Scarlett elsewhere. If that happens, then he thinks they'll "instantly become one of the hottest duos in the business". High praise indeed.

Mick torched WWE's decision making, and ended by saying that "some things just don't make sense". He's totally confused by these releases.
