10 Wrestling Rivalries Too Personal To Be Fake
10. Ric Flair Vs. Mick Foley
To know the origin of this feud you'd have to have read Foley's first New York Times' Bestseller Have A Nice Day.
It was in this book Foley let it be known how he felt towards Flair during The Nature Boy's time as WCW booker. He would even go as far to say that Flair tried to sabotage his career.
Of course Flair was always going to fire back. He would call Foley “a glorified stuntman” in response. In 2004, after Foley rejected a Flair handshake backstage at Raw, Flair is said to have connected with a punch on Foley.
Despite Foley saying an on screen feud would be rewarding bad behaviour, this wouldn’t end here as this feud would have storyline implications. This all led to the two having an “I Quit” match at SummerSlam 2006. Flair would go on to win this match.
At least this was resolved and led to a memorable match between the pair.
