– WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley helped the WWE last night during RAW, by introducing a new championship to the fold, known as the 24/7 title. Sadly, when the big reveal came along, and Foley pulled the title out, the live crowd went mild; with very little reaction, and some light booing.
While the concept sounds interesting, the “rules” around the new championship itself seemed vague, and the title is not the most aesthetically appealing, which could explain the negative reaction around the new championship and zero response from the crowd when Foley did the segment. The good news is, WWE.com has released more information on the 24/7 title, and explained who’s eligible, where, and such. Unfortunately, Mick blames the flopped promo on and reaction himself. See tweet below.
Pope – I think the crowd was hoping for the return of the classic Hardcore Title. Thanks for the compliment, but I felt like I came up pretty short on that promo. No one’s fault but my own. https://t.co/mdET56CypC

Most would agree, the reaction can’t be placed entirely on Mick Foley’s shoulders, plus, that title is crazy ugly. Here’s hoping that as the 24/7 Championship finds its way into storylines, the WWE Universe will warm up to the idea. It does seem like it could shake things up during house shows, and even on social media outside of WWE television shows. Things could very well get interesting and fast.
