Mick Foley is thinking about returning to the ring one last time.
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, 58, has not wrestled since the 2012 Royal Rumble match. He has made appearances for WWE over the years, but he has not returned to the ring. Foley has dealt with various health issues due to the hardcore style he was known for during his career as an active wrestler.
Speaking on Foley Is Pod, Mick Foley stated that he is thinking about losing weight and doing one more match
“60’s right around the corner. Thinking of doing one final match for my sixtieth birthday, a Deathmatch. I’m not kidding. I think it’d be a great incentive to drop those 100 big ones. I think it might be fun. No [it wouldn’t be in WWE], I don’t think so. I think it would be a pretty gory spectacle. I’m just thinking about it. I put it out there to two of my kids. They’re like, ‘Would you get hurt?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, probably, [laughs]" Foley said.
Foley continued by noting that he wouldn't have to get his brain "rattled" in a potential match. He admitted that some people might think returning to the ring would be bad for him. However, Foley stated that having an incentive to lose weight would be beneficial.
“I wouldn’t have to get my brain rattled. I’m not averse to a few stitch-a-roonies here and there. It won’t be for everyone, and rightfully, people go, ‘Come on, that’s not good for you.’ But it could help me lose 100 pounds, right. That’s what I’m missing is, I did drop the 100, but I had the WrestleMania thing, I was already down 50, and then I had Vince in my ear, where I made the promise that I was down 80. I don’t have any type of incentive, so I’m just thinking, it’s something I’m throwing out there so this time next year, we might have to revisit that option," Foley said.
When asked whether he had a dream opponent in mind, Foley said, "Moxley or Matt Cardona. I think Moxley would be the easiest, but Matt has that heat in the Deathmatch world that could really make it something cool."
