10 Greatest Special Guest Referee Performances In WWE

Foley has had a few refereeing duds down the years (why was he even a part of that Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman Hell In A Cell match?!) but this one, this was a great outing for Mick. The male McMahons have had a spotty record when it comes to in-ring competition, and not much was expected of the pair going into the Show Of Shows. What transpired was one of the best car-crash family dramas wrestling has ever offered.

Let's put it this way: even under Street Fight rules, there was too much going on for any normal referee. Where this match could have very easily gone off the rails, throwing a hardcore legend into the middle of peak McMahon family drama was the icing on a cake made from wheelchairs and dog noises.

Sometimes, the biggest credit of a referee - in any sport - is to let the action unfold in front of the fans. Mick Foley is the man to do that; in this environment there isn't much that the hardcore legend hasn't been through himself.
