Earlier Today, WWE officially announced a new WWE Network reality show, titled Holy Foley, which will debut in August. We’ve reported on vague details surrounding this series in the past, but this is the first concrete information. Below is the official synopsis:
At the Foley household on suburban Long Island, Mick Foley simply sees himself as a stand-up comedian and Santa-loving dad to his family of five, including wife Colette, sons Dewey, Mickey and Hughie, and daughter Noelle, with whom he shares a picture-perfect, father-daughter relationship. However, unbeknownst to Mick, Noelle has decided she wants to follow in her father’s footsteps, and has been secretly training to join WWE. Just when Mick thought he was out of the ring, Noelle is leading the charge to pull him back in. As if Noelle’s aspirations weren’t enough, Dewey, Mick’s oldest son, recently landed his dream job as a writer’s assistant on the WWE creative team. In Holy Foley, real-life antics and laugh-out-loud moments will unfold as cameras follow two generations of Foleys trying to make it in life – and at WWE.
This is the Network’s first stab at “reality television” since Legends House in 2014. It should be noted though that Legends House was never intended for the service and was in fact merely dumped on there once no-one else would pick up the series.
