Mick Foley has revealed who he had in mind to do one more match that would give him a proper retirement match.
Foley had considered earlier this year working one more death match as a way to motivate himself to get back into shape. However, He decided against going through with it due to his health, as he had suffered a concussion that he didn’t realize at first he had.
While speaking at the Nickel City Comic-Con, Foley was asked who he’d want to face in his last match. He revealed that the retirement program almost happened with AEW star MJF.
”I’d like to see a triple threat: Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack. You can do it by way of the cinematic match now, right? Yeah. Man, when I was thinking of having that last match, when I announced that intention, there were no shortage of people from every promotion reaching out to me and one guy I probably would have gone with because he’d clearly done some thinking about it and lined out six great weeks of TV was MJF. We didn’t take a photo together because we didn’t wanna ruin the secret meeting but I heard what he had to say, I really liked it. I had no doubt that he would have pulled it off perfectly. He’s so good and in his prime that he could have worked around my weaknesses and played to my strengths, and I think we could have done something pretty cool. MJF. Final answer. Take that Matt Cardona.”
