Watching Summerslam 2006 before I mail it out tomorrow to be sold, particularly watching the Foley/Flair match. Weird feud to say the least, it really just kinda came out of nowhere. But what is everyone's thoughts on Foley's 2006 run? I feel like it was much better than his TNA or even later WWE work. I enjoyed his match with Edge and their match with Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer as well as his heel mic work. A lot different and better than what Foley had been.
Your thoughts?

Loved it. Every one his PPV matches were gold...even the confusing Vengeance match.

I thought for the most part it was pretty solid, mostly the stuff with Edge, but the Flair feud didn't at all work for me.
Also, I have no idea why they put him that WWE title match at Vengeance. Or why Lashley got into that but Sandman didn't.

Loved it. Specifically his feud with Edge and subsequent feud alongside Edge against Dreamer and Funk. I loved One Night Stand '06 as a whole - it's a great PPV. But the Dreamer/Beulah/Funk vs. Edge/Lita/Foley match stole the show for me. Just a completely nuts, really fun match that encapsulated not just what made ECW great but what makes wrestling as a whole great.

That reminds me of a random comment I saw somewhere back in the day where someone was saying that it was pathetic that the crowd ate that match up and any actual ECW crowd would have booed it out of the building. I still have no idea what match he actually watched. |

I remember this feud for only two soundbytes:
Foley: LONG LIVE THE ALLIANCE!
Flair: Wait a minute!.. This isn't a 'Lay down on your ass match'! It's an 'I Quit' match!

Looking back at the Flair/Foley fued it still baffles me how Flair was the Face and Foley was the heel.

I always laughed when he said "my best friend Melina".

I read the 3rd Foley book a few years back and I know Foley was really into the whole Melina relationship gimmick and whatnot, but it just came off really awkward and confusing on TV.
I went to SummerSlam 06 live and was pissed at that finish because I didn't give a shit about Melina.

Easily some of the most entertaining stuff of his career. It kind of felt like Christopher Daniels right now, where they feel they can let loose a bit more & just have some fun out there & that's exactly what Foley did. There was nothing at all I disliked at that time period except for him kissing McMahon's ass to end his run & Melina turning on him - that story was never going anywhere anyway & it was a terrible ending to an entertaining run.

The only thing I remember from the Flair feud was a promo they did before a match where the big line was Flair going "Let us both bleed to death in Boston" and the audio guy screwed up by playing music so Flair had to awkwardly repeat it.

I enjoyed it though his feud with Flair suffered because he pretty much pwned him whenever he cut a promo on the old bastard where Flair couldn't even come up with a decent counter to Foley's claims about him.

You could tell Foley was having a little bit of fun being into a role he never got to play in his active career: the delusional arrogant heel.
Remember when he declared himself and Edge the co-holders of the Hardcore title?

This run of promos was just fantastic. Edge's bit was gold as well. 'Except their Santa is fat, bald, Jewish, and gives out a neverending supply of bullshit.' I loved heel 2006 Foley. I love heel Foley in general, especially with an ECW crowd. The Flair match was rough, could've been better, the Edge match was amazing, the ONS match was incredible and the only thing I didn't really like was the promo from ECW Head to Head. |

Also love Foley saying "this was a bad idea. I don't wanna be here" upon realizing he got himself mixed up with an agitated middle aged psychopath. The Ric Flair feud was great too, the only gripe I have is that they sent Ric Flair to ECW to pop his "extreme" cherry against Big Show where he was already jumping into tacks and getting weird so it was less jarring to see him go that route again with Foley, but the feud was still great. |
