Mick Foley to Cross the Line?

[humankiller99]

this may be a good move for tna but i dont think it will help ratings much

And sorry but, you want Mick Foley, one of the biggest names in the history of pro wrestling to....team up with ODB and fight in intergender matches? Seriously, that's good if you bring any other person, but having Foley team up with her is like bringing Triple H to TNA and join the stable of Young and Curryman.

This mindset is a big problem of professional wrestling today, just as it has been for the past two decades. "Oh, I won't do that; it's BELOW me! No Hogan will job to Randy Orton!" Why would a professional wrestler not wrestle professionally? How is teaming with ODB something that "big names" simply shouldn't do? What should matter is the talent of the superstars involved and the popularity of the angle. There's no reason at all that a legend shouldn't team up with someone new and try new things to help the industry. Saying he shouldn't do it because he's POPULAR is idiotic with a capital I.

It's not because he's popular, but because who he is.

Look, Mick Foley is a big name, yeah, WWE watered him down, but he is a big name, and in the well put scenario, he could be the new GM or be in a big feud with someone main eventing. However, I just find it...dumb, to waste Foley's last matches teaming up with ODB.

Look what happened with Booker T. How did that little angle involving women played out for him? Foley is in his last matches and in his last run, so to sent him off as either the tag team of ODB or the manager, which is even worst, of ODB, just seems wrong.

Does TNA really need anymore old time wrestlers?

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Booker got tied up with Payton Banks, who nobody cares about. Everyone chants ODB even when she's not in the ring. It won't make Foley MORE popular to team with her, but it's not going to bring him down at all.

Look, you're not changing your mind about knockouts, so I'll just quit it. I'll say in the end Knockouts will not make any fan pay a ticket to see the show or sell a PPV, yet you'll come up with the "highest rated part of the show" deal, altough that isn't the case anymore.

As I see it, Foley shouldn't come close to knockouts, less team with them, just for this: Yeah, ODB is popular, Foley will make them more popular, but what is the most ODB can do, win the Knockout's belt? Already proven with Amazing Kong, Knockouts can only get over so far, because TNA is forced to kill. their momentum.

Besides, you are still yet to answer this, why would you waste Mick Foley's last matches teaming him up with ODB? You don't see Sting having his last matches teaming up with Velvet Sky? You don't see Kevin Nash giving career advice to Gail Kim.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Kevin Nash and Sting have been training every day for a lot of years, while Mick Foley has been hanging at the library and shopping for flannel shirts. Foley's last matches will never do his career justice, no matter who they're with. So rather than put his career to shame by having his feud partner carry him through the whole thing (*cough*Flair*cough*), why not use his overness to change the face of wrestling as we know it? And even if you don't care about putting the Knockouts on the map, you can't sit there with a straight face and tell me that Mick Foley against Chick Foley in some kind of hardcore match wouldn't be kick-freakin-ass.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Believe me, I can.

You want hardcore, give me Abyss vs Mick Foley a thousand times before.

AND on the subject of ODB and Foley, IF you have read Mick Foleys books. (I have) he mentions Chyna and how he has such respect for her for taking it to the men in WWE. He was also one of the few men, and the first (I think) that agree to put over Chyna. He wants real respect for womens wrestling!

I'm not saying definately do it, there's a number of things Foley could do. But don't rule it out just because she's a knockout! It's amazing you'd find Abyss Vs. Foley more entertaining. Because quite frankly, Abyss bores me to tears. What's he doing? running around in a white suit saving people?

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Not amazed by Abyss, but I'd rather see Abyss vs Foley than Foley vs ODB.

Look, give me Foley vs Amazing Kong in the right scenario and maybe I'd not like it, but I'd be able to at least buy it, and give Kong a chance, but if you give me Foley vs ODB, am I supposed to find amazing...or even believable that a 5ft 6 145lb woman can make a 6ft 2 287 men bleed or even be hurt

 

[gashface]

I'm personally not into ODB Vs. Foley so we will agree there, but as some kind of support, comrade, trainer, tag team partner they are a perfect duo. Both of them are sort of hardcore oddballs, and I think they would bounce off each other in any given situation. It doesn't have to be inside of the ring.

 

[Charismatic Edge]

Does anybody actually care about this? I mean just from reading Hardcore Diaries, and hearing Foley himself talk about how hard he sucks now, I don't think its worth it. TNA will do better without him.

Any wrestling fan worth their salt cares about this. Foley isn't going there to win titles. He's going to do what he does best...put guys over.

I'm really counting on them making him an announcer. That's THE best fit.

 

[King Of Kings]

Would he go there as a commentator i cant see him wrestleing anymore.
