10 Incredible Wrestling Storylines That Will NEVER Happen
4. Mick Foley Mentors An AEW Talent
Using a legend of the business to mentor a young talent is a bonafide way to increase the younger's stock, keep the veteran relevant, and have some fun. Mick Foley has been used to such an extent a few times in WWE, but really, his expertise as a hardcore wrestler could be way better suited to a company that, you know, has some hardcore wrestling.
AEW is easily a place that Mrs Foley's Baby Boy could bring that side of himself to, as the promotion features many bloody battles, and Foley could play a great role in the build-up to one.
Just imagine him mentoring a young, hardcore talent before they participate in a gruesome match. He could even act as a special guest referee for Blood & Guts. The thought is mouth-watering.
Of course, anyone who holds their breath waiting for this to happen will end up bluer than the Blue Meanie, as Foley isn't going to jump ship from his Legends contract in WWE.
The company has done well by him, and at this point, he seems perfectly content to live on remembering his legacy and enjoying the benefits McMahon's company allows him in his later life.
