Downhome 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2004 *destroys you* The first one is my all time least favorite segment ever, EVER. It was just one big long, pointless, leading to nowhere pieces of crap that I've ever seen on a wrestling show. The fact that it pulled the second highest rating ever makes me want do slap each and every person that watched that part of the show just because of that segment. I hated the first one, sequels are rarely better than the first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted March 4, 2004 *The fact that it pulled the second highest rating ever makes me want do slap each and every person that watched that part of the show just because of that segment. Well, you can rest assured that This is Your Life, Mick Foley will NOT be drawing an 8.4 rating. It will be very interesting come next Tuesday or Wednesday to see what rating this segment will get. It'll certainly illustrate the deterioration of the TV viewing audience since September 1999. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack_Bauer 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2004 Call me crazy ... but I think something rather nutty might happen in this segment. As for The Rock being part of this feud, fuck him. I like The Rock, but I wanted to see Randy Orton v Mick Foley. The feud was WAY too good for Rock to be involved in the match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2004 Is Vince purposely trying to kill Mick's heat? Isn't Mick the one RUNNING this feud? Foley WANTS to be destroyed, that's the whole point. It's Foley giving himself up for Randy Orton. I doubt Foley has a chance in hell of winning one match in this feud the way he is setting it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2004 Sweet jesus. The WWE goes back and takes advantage of some great continuity (something that many of you bitch about them never doing) between the Rock and Foley, and everybody simultaneously loads up their rifles and fires away like they had just put the World Title on Tank Abbott. Whether you like it or not, that segment is one of the most memorable segments from the WWE's peak in social popularity. There are mark fans that I talk to that don't remember who's holding the United States Championship on any given week, but damn near remember every moment from "This is your life." They've reduxed Montreal a gazillion times, and they've redone or referenced Austin/McMahon a gazillion times, but this segment is relatively untapped and it fits into the storyline perfectly. The character motivations are clear. The Rock came back as a personal favor to Mick Foley and, because he respects and appreciates all of the stuff that he did for him and the business, he's going to do a special tribute to help remind Foley of how important he was to the business. Foley is essentially doing a farewell tour here and, for those people that only remember him as fat book-shilling Commisioner Foley, it might be a healthy reminder to some of the newer fans of why Foley is considered a hardcore legend in the first place. As for Evolution, it gives them a "special moment" to destroy, furthering their disrespect for the Rock 'n Sock connection. Or, if Evolution is somehow not involved, it gives Rock and Foley one last moment in the spotlight before they ride off into the sunset at Wrestlemania. In either case, it's easily the best hard-sell for an emotional angle on what is supposed to be the "biggest Wrestlemania of all time." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2004 It still something that is totally uncharacteristic of the Rock even though I understand this is the send-off Foley didn't get the first time around. Of course, you could say that his return to help Foley is uncharacteristic in the first place, given the fact that the basis for The Rock's character is that he's a wee bit self-absorbed (and the fact that I think he was a heel when he left). Though there is evidence of Rock standing up for Foley - Rock was the main man on the mic for the "Locker Room Walkout" if Triple H didn't reinstate Foley (who had lost the Pink Slip on a Pole match) in 2000.
