A WWE legend called out two people for stealing his autographed T-Shirts under the guise of making a donation, and the situation has since been resolved.
He is none other than the WWE Hall of Famer, Mick Foley. In a video posted on his Instagram stories, Foley revealed that two men placed a bid on his T-Shirts during his one-man comedy event at The Glee Club in Birmingham, England, where he always does the “shirt off my back” charity auction to raise money for the Cauliflower Alley Club.
The winning bid went for £900, more than $1,000, covering both the T-shirt Foley was wearing and his outer shirt. Foley met with the fans, took photos, thanked them, and signed both items. However, the pair then left with the shirts without paying the money they promised.
Three or four other people in attendance came forward with donations afterward, which allowed Foley to send $600 to the Cauliflower Alley Club that night. His shirt auctions have raised more than $40,000 for the organization over the years, with that money going to wrestlers and former wrestlers dealing with medical costs or other hardship.
The Hardcore Legend called on the two men to return the shirts and make a donation, even if it was not the full amount, to set things right. He also warned that the exchange had been captured on camera and that there were witnesses. You can watch the clip posted by a fan here:
I would like to address those two guys that chose to run. You know who you are. We know who you are. And we’re going to give you a couple of days to do the right thing,” Foley said. “At the very least, you return the shirt. It would be really nice if you made a donation. I don’t expect £900, that’s a lot of money. Maybe you guys shouldn’t do that when you’re drinking. Maybe you shouldn’t make promises that you can’t keep. But if you don’t do something, some small way of atoning, not only will you know who you are, and not only will I know who you are, but a lot of people will know who you are. Because there were cameras everywhere.
Mick Foley Says The Two Fans Made Good
Foley returned to his Instagram Stories with a follow-up video confirming the pair had come through. He said the two men were inebriated when they ran off and later showed him proof that they had donated to the Cauliflower Alley Club. Fightful reported the donation came to $1,000.
It’s good news. The two gentlemen, they were inebriated when they ran off with the shirt, and they have just shown me proof that they made a very generous donation to the Cauliflower Alley Club,” Foley said. “So, hey, I believe in second chances. People mess up, especially when they’ve been drinking, and these two guys made good on a promise. All’s well that ends well, and this ended well.
Mick Foley hosted the show in the United Kingdom ahead of AEW’s biggest show, All In 2026, set to take place this Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The former WWE Champion is scheduled to be part of the broadcast team, weeks after an AEW star publicly pushed for Foley to wrestle again.
The Birmingham date was one stop on the closing run of Foley’s “40 Years of Foley” tour, which continued in Cardiff, Wales, before wrapping in London.
