Mick Foley: “I think I have one last good match in me. All the stars would have to align”

Mick Foley is entertaining the potential of having one last match despite a laundry list of injuries and surgeries.

The 60-year-old debuted for AEW last month at Double or Nothing on the Buy In, which included a promo segment with MJF.

He appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show and was asked about the idea of wrestling again.

I lost 100 pounds, and it made my life so much easier. I used to have to stop a couple of times just walking up a moderate hill, and now I don’t even realize I’m walking up hills when I do them because I’m not getting winded, not like I used to.

I don’t know (about another match). I think clearly that if I had a match, it would have to be a match that would avoid trauma to the head. Luckily, there is a whole lot of me traumatized below the neck. So, yeah, I think I have one last good match in me. All the stars would have to align; it would have to make sense.

Foley has not had a real match since October 2010, when he wrestled Ric Flair in TNA. He did a quick tag match on a Juggalo Championship Wrestling card in 2011 and appeared in the Royal Rumble in 2012.

In 2024, he started training to have one more match, but abandoned those plans after suffering dizzy spells and believed he suffered a concussion while training.

In 2017, he had hip replacement surgery and has had multiple knee operations.

His full-time career largely ended in 2000, but he came back for many one-offs before a semi-regular schedule with TNA, where he wrestled over twenty matches in 2009-10.
