WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley disclosed that he had a “top secret meeting” with AEW star MJF, during which MJF presented a detailed, multi-week storyline for what could have been Foley’s final wrestling match. Foley shared this on the “Casual Conversations With The Classic” podcast.
“I had a top secret meeting with MJF about the possibility of having one last match with him, and he laid out like six really solid weeks of storytelling,” Foley revealed. He described the clandestine encounter between the two Long Island natives: “Two Long Island guys meeting at a steakhouse, and we didn’t even take a photo of the situation, but it was cool.”
While Foley praised MJF’s creative vision, calling his ideas “good” and noting they “could have been a really good six-week program,” he admitted the match doesn’t currently look likely to happen.
Foley also mentioned that when he put out feelers about a final match, “there was no shortage of guys… it was really from the death match guys to MJF to Karrion Kross like in WWE, there was no shortage of guys who were willing to do that match with me.”
Foley appreciated MJF’s approach, stating, “He’s so good and such a great Pro that… he would have lifted my game on the microphone. And… we could have probably found a way to work around my weaknesses in the ring… accentuate the positives. And… even if it wasn’t a great match, I bet you, we could have convinced a lot of people it was a great match.”
