MJF recently discussed his conversation with wrestling legend Mick Foley regarding a potential comeback to the ring. During an interview on Late Night Grin with Joe Hulbert, MJF confirmed that they had an in-depth discussion about what a return for Foley might entail.
MJF on Mick Foley’s Potential Comeback
In the interview, MJF acknowledged that Foley had openly considered a return to wrestling. “We sat down, and we had a discussion of what that would look like. It was a very good talk,” MJF stated. Despite their dialogue, MJF couldn’t help but poke fun at Foley by calling him “a bitch.”
He continued, “If whatever tirzepatide peptide he’s on allows him to lose some more weight, maybe he can still make a comeback. We’ll see what happens.” This humorous banter highlights the camaraderie often found in wrestling circles.
The Importance of Memorable Moments
MJF expressed that his focus extends beyond creating great matches. He strives to craft memorable moments with every wrestler he encounters. “I wouldn’t just look at those guys and be like, you know, they’ll be a great match. I’m thinking, what would be my material? What would be the moment that I could make?” he elaborated, emphasizing his innovative approach to storytelling in wrestling.
Reflecting on Wrestling Eras
When asked which wrestling era he would prefer to engage with, MJF chose the Attitude Era. He praised this period for its exceptional talent and competition. “The level of competition of guys that could talk, forget the wrestling,” he elaborated. “For me to have been able to go back and forth on the stick with The Rock or with Steve Austin or Mick Foley or Shawn, there’s just so much money there.”
