I guess it's true, you become what you hate (in Foley's case, Flair).

Maybe Foley means "death match" in the literal sense.

Mick Foley needs to be nowhere near a ring in 2024 let alone a DEATH MATCH

Please don't Mick.
Am I crazy or was he saying as long ago as like 2013 that he couldn't even bend down to tie his own shoes and due to all the concussions he's had WWE wouldn't clear him to take bumps anymore? Then again I remember RVD years ago saying he had memory loss issues and thought he might have CTE due to undiagnosed concussions and he's wrestled a bunch of times in the years since. I think Tommy Dreamer is in a similar situation and still wrestles. And well if Flair got cleared to do that final match fiasco then pretty much anyone will be able to get cleared if they seek out enough doctors until they get the answer they want.

I can't speak for RVD or Dreamer since I never followed their interviews too closely, but I think Foley's fallen into the trap of wanting a redo on his last match, which is a shame, because so few performers are remembered for their last match in contrast to the whole of their careers. Mick has a lot to be proud of and nothing to prove. So why now?

RVDs and Tommy’s situations are better than Mick.

I guess I'm alone in thinking this would be comedy gold for the most part and actually want to see it? Like the real dangerous stuff would be kept to a minimum on Cardona and toward the end of the match? I can't see Mick going full on 1990s Cactus Jack at this point, I think his family and friends would have him committed if that was the case.

Notice where Flair's Final match was. IN a state with pretty much no wrestling commission. Foley could wrestle in a pile of states that either have no commission or like MS just require you be over 18 to wrestle.

Foley is almost sixty and morbidly obese with a body that’s destroyed from his profession. This match would literally have to be nothing but hitting one another with objects and bleeding

He couldn't get cleared by WWE for the angle they started with Ambrose/Moxley. He failed the impact test which checks for concussion related issues.

Shoutouts to when Matt Cardona teased this 2 years ago and I forgot until now because it was minutes before a complete nightmare of a match against Joey Janela that might as well have lasted a whole hour.

Yeah, Cardona's been pushing it on twitter again since Mick said that. I think if anyone would be the safest it'd be him, but still not necessarily something I want to see.

I definitely don't want to see it. But depending on what promotion it happens in, I probably will. I'm uh. conflicted about this
