Mick Foley reveals that he almost had a retirement match against an AEW star

Earlier in 2024, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley expressed interest in doing one more “death match” to celebrate his 60th birthday but ended up calling off plans.

During an appearance at the Nickel City Comic-Con, Mick Foley was asked about his dream opponent for a retirement match. Here was Foley’s response…

“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.” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
