Points for being honest. We’re just over a month away from the next Saudi Arabia show, which is one of the most controversial series of events in wrestling. The country has some well publicized issues on the international stage and that has made the WWE shows rather controversial. At the same time though, they have made some wrestlers rather wealthy, and one legend is saying that he could be for sale.
Mick Foley recently appeared on the Pro Wrestling Show and said that he would be willing to come out of retirement for a Hell in a Cell match against the Undertaker in Saudi Arabia if the price was right. It should be noted that Foley seemed to be speaking in a strictly hypothetical sense and there is no indication that WWE is interested in running such a match. The audio can be heard in the tweet below.
"If they wanted a rematch of the cell badly enough and were willing to pay for it, then my god they'd probably get!"

I’m pretty sure this isn’t happening against. Check out….oh you know what this is:
Opinion: I mean, is this really that unreasonable? It’s not the best sounding thing in the world to say but the idea of getting paid probably close to (if not over) a million dollars for a single match against someone you know so well is very enticing. There are certainly other factors in play here, but the amount of money that someone could make from something like this is hard to ignore.
Do you like the legends appearing on the Saudi Arabia show? Will Foley ever wrestle again? Let us know in the comments below.
