Why wasn't it just a fatal-fourway? Like, did Foley have a book coming out that needed promotion, so they threw him in the match?

Nope. He had a contract for a set number of matches, I think it was his last one, and he could take a pin so that nobody else looked weak.
But yes it was weird. He was fifth wheel as f***.

Didn't see the Vengeance match, was it even more 'huh?' than him randomly getting thrown into the Wrestlemania 2000 Title match after retiring a few weeks prior? |

Yes, vastly more weird, because it had no storyline motivation, and he was way less over and even less happy than he was seven years earlier. |

It being out of nowhere wasn't helping, but honestly, I think part of the issue was people being kind of worried about his wellbeing. I know that was a major factor in dampening my enjoyment of his TNA run. |

Yeah, I mean, I for one was very relieved when he mended fences with Vince, returned to the WWE fold and then after one Rumble appearance, never wrestled again. Foley was a great wrestler but I'd much rather he's gets to be wrestlings slightly goofy Christmas loving uncle for years to come. |

I recall being upset that Sandman wasn't in this match even though Lashley was allowed in it as former ECW Champion.

They had also just done a fatal 4 way at backlash a few months later for the wwe title, so they probably wanted something different
