• Former Intercontinental Champion Threatens Mick Foley With A Death Match
Former Intercontinental Champion Zack Ryder (now known as Matt Cardona) was interviewed on the Barstool Sports’ Rasslin’ podcast, where he expressed his recent displeasure with WWF Legend Mick Foley.
Here’s what Cardona had to say:
“F**k Mick Foley. That’s all I have to say. This guy, you’d think he’d be so proud of me. Fellow Long Islander, fellow death match king, but he’s turned his back on me. I don’t know what his deal is.
I don’t know if it’s that I beat up his son-in-law Frank the Clown. I don’t know if he’s hot about that. I think he just needs to stop running his mouth.
Right before I got released from WWE, my personal writer was Dewey Foley, Mick’s son. So if Mick doesn’t shut the f**k up, I’m going to have Dewey Foley book me vs. Mick Foley in a death match, and of course I’m going to win.”
His comments are obviously in character. Foley said the following about a possible match with Cardona during an interview with Metro:
“Can you imagine the heat that Cardona would have if Cactus Jack came back for one last match? I can’t do it – I’m just saying, imagine! That’d be great.”
While working as a babyface in IMPACT Wrestling (fka TNA), he’s portrayed as a heel on the indies, where he’s doing occasional death matches (especially in GCW).
