AEW’s Darby Allin explains why he isn’t considering a match against Mick Foley.
Wrestling legend Mick Foley is open to the possibility of lacing up his boots one more time under the conditions that he is in good physical condition and confident that he could deliver a quality in-ring performance. As for who he might wrestle, Foley recently told Going Ringside that he considers former AEW World Champion Darby Allin a dream opponent.
Allin, meanwhile, sees a potential match between them taking a different shape.
“I would never wrestle Mick. I would never wrestle against Mick,” Allin told The Takedown on SI. “Would I team with him? Absolutely. I would team with him in a heartbeat. Just like I would never wrestle Sting. I would love to team with him. But that’s the thing for Mick to answer. What does he feel in his career that, if he would even need that, if there’s any questions unanswered? I know for Sting, all those years ago, there were many questions unanswered about how his career ended and how it wasn’t on his own terms. Does Mick still have those questions as Sting did? That remains to be seen.”
When asked why he’s opposed to wrestling against Foley at this point in time, Allin noted that there seems to be more “meat on the bone” for a tag match compared to them going one-on-one. Moreover, Allin isn’t sure what exactly would come from it.
“I wouldn’t want to go out there and have that with somebody like Mick that a lot of people are saying he doesn’t need to be in the ring. If he’s gonna be in the ring, I wanna do everything to help him, like, by his side. It’s just not something that interests me,” Allin said.
