I've gone back and watched a lot of Foley's run from around Mania 22-Summerslam that year, and have to say I enjoyed it quite a bit. I know some think that he's become a parody of himself since "retiring" at the hands of Triple H. So with that being said I just wanted to know how everyone feels about Foley.
Did you like how his "retirement" was handled?
Awesome. Going back to Cactus Jack and nearly killing Hs was awesome at the 2000 Rumble and NWO.
How'd you like his run as commissioner?
It was ok - make a few gags, get the better verbally of the heels.
Did you like his short run with Randy Orton in 2004?
Loved the build - getting thrown down the steps at the Garden, the match at Mania and finally the Backlash bloodbath.
Did you enjoy his 2006 work?
Hell yeah - the stuff with Edge at Mania 22 was fantastic. The ECW build was great. The first match with Flair was weird ... the second was awesome. I am a Foley mark.
Would you be interested in a more serious Foley if he wanted to come back ever full-time or close to it?
Only if he got into shape ... a Cactus Jack run would be GREAT as long as Mick had the anger to pull it off. Not really interested in cuddly mick gets beat up by heel, gets angry, becomes Cactus Jack for a match, blah blah. I WANT Cactus to be the bad guy.
