Business wise the show was very successful. Would be surprised if Conrad doesn’t do another “Last Match” show on a big WWE weekend. So many possibilities. Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett all would be good candidates.

Yeah... if they have any kind of doctor they aren't clearing Foley for anything.

I’m loving young Tony Schiavone as a grown up Will Byers. Tony screaming like Bob Newby taught him: GO AWAY Vince Russo putting his many tendrils down his throat:

Honestly, that might almost be MORE reason for anyone around him who cares about the guy to gently say "No, Mick. Let's not"

The idea of a series of “last match” shows with guys who shouldn’t be in the ring is about as carny as it gets. So it could happen.

Also, the doctor in 2012 told Foley that his brain is so bad that one bump could kill him and his brain is not going to heal. That’s all the more reason for Foley to not wrestle. Isn’t Foley’s condition worse than Flairs in regards to taking bumps? Yeah, I know that Flair has a pacemaker and what not.

Weirdly, the last bump he took wasn't even in America, it was over here in Dublin 5 years ago this week when he took a dick toss from Joey Ryan did a flip bump onto the mat just to show the crowd he could. He was fine from it obviously but again, that felt like the last hurrah rather than him prepping anything else because he hasn't taken one since.

Mick is struggling cognitively?

Mick is struggling cognitively? Unfortunately, yes. He hasn’t been able to drive for years because he forgets where he’s going. During his brief period as Raw GM with Stephanie in 2016, a missed camera cue showed Stephanie telling Mick what he was going to say next because he couldn’t keep up with the promo by himself.

Hmmm, I would imagine that was probably not the right thing for Mick to do but to be fair, I think a normal wrestling bump would be more painful wouldn’t it?

I knew he was broken down physically but not this.

Yeah, he seems more lucid now, but it's still not worth risking it. He also had Noelle Foley as basically his travel companion to remember where his hotel is, etc. I do kind of wonder if that's why she seems to have dropped interest in wrestling herself.

Hmmm, I would imagine that was probably not the right thing for Mick to do but to be fair, I think a normal wrestling bump would be more painful wouldn’t it? Kind of? I'm talking from a tiny bit of experience but taking a bump normally involves making sure it's all spread across your body and if you do it wrong, all the pain is just focused on one part but a flip bump, you have to make absolute sure you land a certain way and then move right away in a move to sell so...it could but if you do it well. I can agree that Foley probably shouldn't have done it and even looking at it, it's a choice to do it that way but, again, the fact he hasn't taken one in 5 years probably says our answer.

Noelle had to give wrestling up as she's struggled with Post Concussion Syndrome and concussion-induced tinnitus. It's affected her so much she's had to open an OnlyFans account to help pay for her medical treatment.

I knew he was broken down physically but not this. Foley does a video podcast with Conrad Thompson and is great at remembering details of his matches/angles and things that happened behind the scenes. He is definitely banged up physically, but there's little-to-no difference in seeing and hearing him speak in 2022 vs. him in 2000.
