In a recent episode of the Foley Is Pod podcast, WWE Hall of Famer and co-host Mick Foley gave his thoughts about him currently considering the idea of having one final deathmatch for his career for his 60th birthday.

I think it might be fun. No [it wouldn’t be in WWE], I don’t think so. I think it would be a pretty gory spectacle. I’m just thinking about it. I put it out there to two of my kids. They’re like, ‘Would you get hurt?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, probably, [laughs].”
