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

Professional wrestling is a strange thing. By WrestleMania 22 Mick Foley had retired and returned on a number of occasions, but it seemed that he was done. His involvement was limited to authority angles and special guest referee spots by this point. It would be one of the latter that would lead to him finally getting his WrestleMania moment.

Edge had cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on John Cena to finally win his first world title, only to lose it in the rematch, only for Edge to lose his subsequent rematch. The ref for that match? Mick Foley. Sure, it wasn't the most creative way to spark a WrestleMania feud, but both men were determined to steal the show and steal the show they did. 

As far as plunderfests go, this had it all. Both men were busted open, thumb tacks were introduced and slammed into, ol' Barbie got an airing and the whole thing ended with a flaming table and an apron spear. Only in wrestling can an iconic moment involve two men going through a table that is up in flames.

One of the great things about the match is that the spots made sense. There was no plunder for plunder's sake, with both men giving the crowd a reason to care about the violence outside of the mere existence of the violence. In many ways, this is an underrated exercise in professional wrestling psychology, something that Foley was without doubt a master of.

This was also far and away Mick Foley's finest WrestleMania match.
