WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley is hoping to mark his upcoming 60th birthday with one final match, over a decade after he last competed.
During the latest edition of his Foley is Pod podcast, the Hardcore Legend’s birthday came up in the conversation. It was then that Mick shared the news that he is eager to step back into the ring for a very special kind of match.
“60’s right around the corner. I’m thinking about doing one final match, for my 60th birthday. Deathmatch. I’m not kidding. I think it’ll be a great incentive to drop those hundred big ones [lbs]. And I think it might be fun.”
When asked if the match would happen in a WWE ring, Foley was sure that the promotion wouldn’t wish to host the level of violence and gore that he had in mind.
“No, no, I don’t think so. Because I think it’d be a pretty gory spectacle. [I’m] just thinking about it. I put it out there to my kids and they were like ‘Would you get hurt?’ Yeah probably.”

If Foley does indeed have this one final match, it’ll be the first match for the three-time World Champion in close to a decade. Foley’s most recent match to date took place in February 2015 and saw him defeat Mickey Gambino at an event for OMEGA Wrestling, the promotion founded by Matt & Jeff Hardy. This match was Foley’s first in three years, with his previous contest being the 2012 Royal Rumble match won by Sheamus.
