Mick Foley's WrestleMania Matches - Ranked From Worst To Best

2. W/The Rock Vs. Ric Flair, Randy Orton & Batista - WrestleMania XX

900444

Foley returned to the big stage for the first time in four years at WrestleMania XX, lining up alongside The Rock (back for the first time in a year) to take on Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista. This match was a vehicle for the blossoming Orton/Foley feud, one which would truly put Orton on the map. It was this feud that gave birth to the Legend Killer.

Foley and Orton would put on some great matches, but in many ways it is the novelty factors at play in this bout that made it as fun as it was. In Foley, Flair and Rock you have three legitimate all-time greats, and Orton and Batista were clearly on their way to being major players in the company at this time. Has there ever been a WrestleMania match in the middle of the card with more world championships within it?

Foley would eat the loss here, taking an RKO from Orton to continue their beef. Considering the ring rust on his team and the relative inexperience of the opposition (minus Flair of course), this match exceeded all expectations.
