Is THIS Mick Foley's Final Wrestling Opponent Ever?

Someone has been angling for a match with Mick Foley for years. No, it wouldn't happen in WWE!

Matt Cardona has put himself forward for Mick Foley's last ever wrestling match, and says "it's no secret" he's "been politicking for" the bout.

Foley plans to wrestle one final death match before calling it quits for good. Part of the legend's thought process is that training for the occasion will help him shed some weight - Mick claims he needs something like that to motivate him in the gym.

Cardona told Sports Illustrated that he's 100% up for being Foley's last dance. Previously, Matt had walked into the Hammerstein Ballroom wearing flannel that said, "F*ck Mick Foley" on it, so he's clearly been waiting on a moment like this for ages.

The ex-WWE star (and one-time artist formerly known as Zack Ryder) also said the bout would go down as "the biggest match in the history of independent pro wrestling". There's nothing official here yet, but both sides have been doing a lot of talking.

Several people online have tried talking Mick out of the match, but that probably won't work. He's determined to wrestle one final blood bath before retiring for good.
