"Could have torn it down" - Mick Foley names Jon Moxley and top AEW star as his current dream opponents
Jon Moxley is the reigning AEW World Champion. Before reaching superstardom, the former Dean Ambrose of WWE had a viral confrontation with Mick Foley, but the two were unfortunately never able to wrestle. Foley has now opened up on what would have happened between the two brawlers, while naming another top AEW star as his other dream opponent.
Mrs. Foley's Baby Boy was confronted by The Purveyor of Violence in 2012 while the latter was a WWE developmental talent in FCW. Moxley had an issue with Foley inspiring a generation of imitators that were ruining the business. This was supposed to lead to a match, but Foley couldn't get medically cleared. The hardcore grapplers later had a few interactions on WWE TV, but nothing major occurred.
According to The Hardcore Icon, Foley vs. Moxley would have torn the house down, along with Foley vs. Darby Allin. Mick recently spoke with Monopoly Events and was asked who from WWE or AEW he thinks he could've had a great hardcore deathmatch with. The 59-year-old named The Daredevil and the leader of the Death Riders from Tony Khan's company.
"Oh yeah. Yeah, sure... well not just a hardcore deathmatch, but I could've torn it down with Darby Allin in a regular match. When it comes to that wild stuff, Jon Moxley and I could have torn it down," Mick Foley said. [From 1:57 to 2:10]
Foley last wrestled in the 2012 Royal Rumble. His final singles match was a Last Man Standing win over Ric Flair on TNA Impact in October 2010.
