Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Ok what is this Crap. Is there a point to Foley's constant Beatdown with no support for weeks now? Foley comes back here and there to go after Orton, but general it is a Three man beat down gangbang on him. is there a point where it turns around. Or are they so Pushing Orton that no shit is suppose to fall on the Chosen Golden Child? and what the fuck man? I was expecting someone...Anyone to come down to the ring to make the save... Be is Austin... Dreamer....a Jobber.. Christ the Rock.. Anyone? That was a waste of ten minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 What made it even more pathetic was that J.R. was selling it as the most brutal thing Foley had ever endured in his career. As if punches, kicks, and stomps were so much more devastating than getting his ear ripped off or Vader's powerbomb on the concrete or all those explosion barbed wire fire matches in Japan.

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I think this is leading to the Rock making the save and then the Rock/Sock Connection losing to Orton and Batista in a tag match at Mania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 What's not to get? The inexperienced underdog Orton is valiantly trying to rid Raw of yet another greedy, spotlight-hogging fossil who doesn't know when to hang it up. Foley is a moron with 3 too many concussions who walks headlong into a shitkicking every week. It'll culminate in a final battle of G vs. E, with Orton triumphing and banishing Foley from Raw forever*. (* - in other words, for 4 weeks tops, or Foley goes to Smackdown) I find it hilarious that Foley, the ultimate bumpmaster, will not take an unprotected powerbomb from Batista.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I'm kind of shocked they wouldn't use this feud as a springboard for another wrestler as well. Face it, whoever comes out to save Foley is an instant face. Instant. Sure, have Rock return but how about a third man? Heck, Tommy Dreamer WAS perfect since they could have played up his past with Foley. I understanding wanting to get Orton over, but they could have easily used it to springboard another wrestler besides Orton. Rock n Sock vs three men kinda sucks.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted February 18, 2004 All I know is Randy Orton tried REPEATEDLY to bust open Foley the hard way...and failed with every single attempt. Did you see the knot on Foley's head? My goodness. I guess that's karma for when Foley couldn't bust open Dreamer in ECW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I have a hard time believing that people actually think that Bautista is better. I am not a Orton fanboy by any means, I just think that I'd rather see him botch his finisher than see Bautista kill someone.....but that's probably just me.

Guest hunger4unger Report post Posted February 18, 2004 It's being built up really well IMO. There should be a ton of heat going into the WM match. I'm not sure that adding Rock and Batista into the mix is the right route but perhaps Foley really can't work a 1 on 1 anymore. Orton is going to get such a rub from this feud it's unreal. WWE making new stars, i'm all for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Loss Report post Posted February 18, 2004 (edited) Surely, they're not going to do a Rock & Sock v three members of Evolution handicap match either. Someone has to join Foley & Rock to make it an even six-man, and Booker or RVD would have been the right candidate, but it looks like they're going to be tied up with each other now. Not to mention that if Foley is going to have a match, will they bother explaining how he's allowed to do so when he was previously retired and based on that match's stipulation, he's not allowed to come back.

Enigma 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Dave Bautista is the only guy I know that could tear his triceps while jogging. And local TV ads for the Atlanta RAW on March 1st end with the announcer saying, "Is this the night when The Rock returns to WWE?" so it looks like he's coming back on this night.
