Mick Foley, the revered WWE Hall of Famer known for his daring in-ring style and lovable persona, recently captivated fans at Nickel City Comic Con with reflections on the possibility of a final wrestling match. Foley, whose storied career includes iconic personas like Mankind, Cactus Jack, and Dude Love, left an indelible mark on the industry with his unforgettable matches and genuine passion for the sport.
According to Foley, when he considered having one last match, interest poured in from every corner of the wrestling world. In his own words:
“Man, when I was thinking of having that last match, I’ll tell you what, 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 and you know, 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 (Foley laughed).”
Foley’s comments highlight the deep respect he holds for MJF, a rising star known for his compelling character work and in-ring intelligence. The idea of working with MJF intrigued Foley, who believed the young star’s ability to craft engaging television and adapt to his own style could have resulted in a memorable farewell performance. Notably, the secrecy around their discussions emphasizes the genuine consideration Foley gave to the prospect.
The thought of Mick Foley going toe-to-toe with MJF is tantalizing, not only for the potential storyline but also for the contrast in styles and eras it would represent. Foley’s acknowledgment of his own limitations at this stage of his career, paired with MJF’s talents, paints a picture of what could have been an extraordinary wrestling narrative—blending veteran wisdom with youthful innovation.
Ultimately, while the match itself remains speculative, Foley’s reflection underscores his enduring passion for wrestling and his willingness to adapt and create magic in the ring one last time. Whether or not this final chapter materializes, the dream match between Foley and MJF remains an enticing prospect for wrestling fans everywhere.
