Matt Cardona doubled down on his feud with Mick Foley during a recent Q&A on social media.

Since leaving the WWE and saying goodbye to his former identity as Zack Ryder, Matt Cardona has seen a career resurgence on the independent scene as well as making appearances for IMPACT and AEW. Along the way he’s managed to pick up title reigns in GCW, All Star Wrestling, AIW, and NWA.

Cardona has also become no stranger to taking shots at wrestling legends, and one of the most frequent sources of his ire is WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley. During a recent Twitter Q&A, he was asked a tongue-in-cheek question by a fan who wanted to know why he was such a fan of the Hardcore Legend. Cardona’s response was unequivocal, and he doubled down by blasting Foley’s podcast.

“FUCK @RealMickFoley. And don’t listen to @FoleyIsPod either…it’s not my favorite podcast.”

This is far from the first time he’s expressed the sentiment, as he’s taken shots at the WWE Hall of Famer multiple times over the past year. Back in January, Cardona tweeted the same and included independent star Sam Stackhouse as a target of his rage. Cardona face Stackhouse in August of 2021 for the GCW Championship at the same show that he donned the same outfit Vince McMahon wore when he won the ECW Championship.

Cardona also donned a flannel shirt at GCW The Wrld that had “F*CK MICK FOLEY” on the back, which elicited a response from the Hardcore Legend himself.
