If his body was still able, it makes sense to believe that Mick Foley would have worked matches against Braun Strowman during his stint as Raw General Manager. There was also potential for Mick to team with Sami Zayn at some point, but his broken down body wouldn't cope with in-ring punishment in 2017.

During a Q&A session with ScreenGeek, the beloved performer gave a somewhat surprising answer when quizzed on which wrestler he'd ideally face should he be physically up to the task.

Fired as Raw GM by Stephanie McMahon and goaded by a cocky Triple H, Foley said during the interview that he'd choose 'The Game' as his perfect opponent if he could return; working magic together in the late-1990's and early-2000's, the pair had clear chemistry whether between the ropes or brawling outside the ring.

That's something Mick would love to rekindle, but his current circumstances and physical state mean he's better staying away from active wrestling nowadays.
