Just watched the Foley doc on Netflix and it reminded me of such a great period of time, one that many overlook when they think of Foleys career.
It was actually a few months after I started watching that Foley became commish and it was my first real exposure to him (other than the mania 2000 main event)
It gave us such awesomeness as:
Foley with a skinhead
Random office locations such as the boiler room, the laundry room and the back of a mini truck
Edge and Christian covering theme songs on a kazoo and loads more segments that reeked of awesomeness
I Lied about your beads!!!!!
BANG! BANG! (his hammer)
the cactus and stuffed dog
Foley sleuthing (finding out who run over The Rock and the true identity of whatever the masked gold tag team that edge and christian were called)
and then it lead straight in to more awesomeness in the form of Commissioner Regal

I loved his stuff with Edge and Christian.
Edge: We're the tag team champs, Mick. We should get our own locker room. The Rock has one. The Fac-gime has one.
Foley: Who?
Christian: It's not important now.
Foley: Guys, I was a three time WWF champion and I never got my own locker room.
Edge: But Mick, you never change your clothes.
Foley: Oh yeah.

I was just thinking about this trio the other day. I would pay good money for a DVD of nothing but Edge/Christian/Foley segments from 2000. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXj2te2WCkU |

Just goes to show that there can be an authority figure who isn't a heel and can still be entertaining. I agree with the poster above about buying a Foley/Edge/Christian/Angle dvd

My favourite time to be a wrestling fan. Foley was my favourite wrestler, and then he retired, but he got to come back and just be as funny as he wanted to be. It was magnificent, and he was f***ing hilarious. He got actually further angles without being more important than the angles or talent, he could be involved as much or as little as was necessary - and as said above, he didn't have to be a heel authority figure. I also loved the almost-kayfabe breaking jokes he'd make like the one with Triple H about Angle having a booger hanging out of his nose.
