Mick Foley Names Backlash 2004 vs. Randy Orton As His Favorite Match

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley spoke with Monopoly Events at For The Love of Wrestling 2025 on various topics, including his favorite match he ever wrestled in.

Foley said, “My favorite match I ever wrestled was Backlash against Randy Orton in 2004.”

On why that was his favorite match:

“It took me all day to get home because Edmonton’s a long way from Long Island. There was a flight delay, a baggage delay, and by the time I got home, RAW was already on even though I caught the red-eye flight. As soon as they announced Randy Orton, the reaction was so much different than it’d ever been. In one night, we changed people’s perception about Randy Orton. That’s why I think that’s my favorite match.”

On how entering the 1998 Royal Rumble as all three Faces of Foley wasn’t his idea:

“It wasn’t my idea because I don’t think I’d be bold as to suggest that I’d be in three different times. I know this is going to get another boo, but I believe it was a Vince idea but not Vince McMahon; I think it was a Vince Russo idea, honestly. He [Russo] had some really good ideas over the years.”
