A WWE legend recently made some startling claims that Vince Russo finds quite worrying. The legend in question, Mick Foley, mentioned the possibility of returning to the ring for one last match.
Mick Foley recently claimed that he had a secret meeting with MJF, during which they discussed a potential final match for him. Mick has not stepped foot in the ring for over 13 years, with his last match being at the 2012 Royal Rumble. However, this has caused Vince Russo to worry about Mick's health.
Speaking on The Wrestling Outlaws, the former WWE head writer talked about how he was concerned about Mick's age and health. He said:
"Ya, that would be my whole thing. I know Mick has lost a ton of weight, I do know that. My whole thing would be Mick's health. And you know I mean, Mick's the only one that knows what he can do and can't do. That would be my only concern. If Mick has lost a ton of weight and he has gotten in better health, and he feels he could do it, I mean that would be my only concern. I would hate for him to come out of this, you know, with anything happening." [3:15 onwards]

The WWE legend wants to lose weight before considering a return
According to Mick Foley, the final match is unlikely until he hits a certain goal on the weight scale.
In an exclusive video for Sportskeeda, the WWE legend explained that despite his interest in working with MJF, he would only consider doing so if he reached the 250 lbs mark.
"Maybe, maybe if I continue to drop LBs (weight) and I get down to the 250-pound mark, maybe, maybe, we can revisit the idea. So, I don't wanna give away too much. But he (MJF) had some great ideas. I think it would have gone down really well with wrestling fans. It meant something different, emotional, really captivating. Largely because of him. But I'd be part of that too." [1:00 onwards]
