Why Tony Schiavone Believes Mick Foley’s Departure from WCW Was His Best Decision

Mick Foley, a WWE Hall of Famer, is celebrated for his extraordinary career that made him a cornerstone of hardcore wrestling. He famously portrayed three unique personas during a single Royal Rumble: Cactus Jack, Mankind, and Dude Love. Although Foley initially spent quality time in WCW, his move to WWE was hailed by Tony Schiavone as the best decision of his career.

“His transition to WWE was the best choice he ever made because it catapulted him to stardom,” Schiavone remarked on “What Happened When?” while reflecting on Foley’s impressive journey.

Despite enjoying a remarkable career as a multi-time WWE Champion, Foley recently contemplated the possibility of one final match, even after celebrating his 60th birthday. He expressed a desire to conclude his wrestling journey with a Death Match, suggesting potential opponents like Jon Moxley or Matt Cardona.

Regrettably for his fans, Foley has abandoned the notion of a final match after discovering he had suffered a concussion without realizing it. Nevertheless, he acknowledged the excitement surrounding the idea and mentioned that he had several intriguing possibilities for his last opponent.

He even hinted at a potential matchup with MJF, but eventually he expressed satisfaction in having improved his fitness regardless of the outcome.
