Could we see Mick Foley step inside a ring for All Elite Wrestling to referee a potential dream match between Jon Moxley and Atsushi Onita?
There is obviously mutual respect between Japanese deathmatch legend Atsushi Onita and All Elite Wrestling’s Jon Moxley. So much so that Moxley has begun using Onita’s “Wild Thing” theme song in AEW as of late.
So it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that wrestling fans would love to see these two men stand across the ring from one another. An idea that Atsushi Onita is all for and wants to make happen. Onita recently spoke to Fanbyte ahead of the launch of his new promotion, FMW-E, this weekend and proposed the idea of a dream match with the former AEW Champion:
“Jon Moxley uses my theme music?” Onita said. “Thank you, Moxley. I think if he has a spirit of JADO (evil ways), we might stand in the same ring someday. It would be interesting, wouldn’t it?”
Mick Foley took to social media earlier this morning to throw his name in the hat to be the referee of this potential dream match between Moxley and Onita:
“If an Onita vs Moxley match were to happen, I’d like to be the referee. I always felt the “American Onita” label given to me by the Japanese press and fans was a huge honor,” Mick Foley tweeted.
While Jon Moxley has yet to comment on the situation, you have to imagine a match against Atsushi Onita would be on his bucket list. If this match was held inside an AEW ring, maybe the company could redeem themselves after the blunder of an explosion in their barbed wire deathmatch earlier this year.
