Mick Foley Says After Consulting With Doctors, There Will Be No Return To The Ring For A Final Match
Mick Foley has shut the door on a return to the ring for one more match.
This past February, Mick Foley opened up about wanting to return to the ring one last time for his final match, but not just any type of regular one-on-one. He wanted it to be under death match rules against either Jon Moxley or Matt Cardona.
During his new video on his YouTube channel, this is the update that Foley had for fans who were both looking forward to it and also not wanting the hardcore legend to go through with this idea.
“Hey everyone, it’s Mick Foley with an update on that final match that I was thinking about having for my sixtieth birthday. As some of you know, I had to miss a couple weekends of appearances because of dizziness and lightheadedness. After consulting with a couple of doctors and also using my own experience with concussions, the symptoms…they seem to point to a concussion that I did not even know I received. I hadn’t done too much in the ring, but I had done a little bit. I had noticed that I was lightheaded after one of the workouts but thought it would go away. So it just seems like the wisest move and one that’s strongly supported by my family is to call off that final match. If I can get concussed from something I’m not even aware, then some of the things that I was thinking of doing, hoping of doing in a big match would not be smart. So with my family’s urging, and after careful thought, I’ve decided there will be no final match,” Foley said.
Foley last competed in the ring at the 2012 Royal Rumble for the WWE. Since then, all he’s made is one-off appearances in the ring.
