Jon Moxley on Talk Is Jericho

He was supposed to be Mick Foley's "last feud ever" in 2012 with Dean blaming Mick for a generation of fans mutilating themselves via deathmatches and backyard wrestling. No idea how they'd have pulled it off in a PG climate which is probably why it got axed in the first place. Probably for the best, Mick probably would've felt the need to take one last big bump despite being 47 years old at the time.

I think that video of Moxley confronting Foley was the first time I’d ever seen him. I actually thought it was legit at first because I thought he was just some indy guy. He was fantastic in it. It’s sad to look back on. Hopefully he can bring that fire again.
