Question by The Clown Prince of Crime
WARNING, LONG READ AHEAD!!!
In a recent interview, although he doesn’t know if he is fit and whether or not he’s a top priority for The Streak (he implied there would be 5 potential match ups and he’s one of them), Mick Foley has admitted he would like to be considered to face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 28 next year, presumably following the promise Vince McMahon had given to him that if he returned to WWE this year (which he already did), he’d not only be granted a position backstage but also one last huge retirement match at Wrestlemania 28 next year. And if Wrestlemania 26 is any indication, a retirement match can’t be any bigger and better than a Wrestlemania match against The Undertaker like Shawn Michaels had experienced.
But as u guys might have known it, Vince also considered a Wrestlemania rematch against Mark Henry after concluding Henry’s recent run is the best run in his career and he might be the fittest man to give The Undertaker the biggest victory of his career in Undertaker’s fourth Wrestlemania rematch (after Kane, HBK, and HHH).
Needless to say, this consideration has been met with horrid reaction not only from IWC but also backstage in WWE themselves, from fellow wrestlers and officials alike, believing it would practically be a joke if after defeating Batista, Edge, Shawn Michaels twice, and Triple H the second time, The Undertaker’s 20th Wrestlemania victory, which is supposed to be the biggest victory in his career (and some may speculate even the last) would be against Mark Henry (which IMO, not only far less credible than Foley, but also historically less significant with Taker than Foley).
It has been concluded that the biggest reason why so many people object to this potential rematch is the fact that the last time Taker & Henry met at Wrestlemania 22, the result of the bout is often cited to be the worst Casket match ever held in the history of the company, which is why a rematch will definitely not attract good things. And not to mention the last time Undertaker & Henry worked together at Unforgiven 2007 after months of build up, the result ended in one of the worst PPV main events in the last decade.
Now, from Foley’s perspective, I think by saying there would be 5 match ups for The Streak match at WM 28, originally there would be 4 other people than him to face Taker at WM 28. And I assume those 4 people would be Cena, Orton, HHH, and Jericho. But as we know it, Cena will face The Rock.
And with how things go by, Triple H vs CM Punk at Wrestlemania 28 seems likelier and likelier as days go by. Some even speculated HHH will somehow cost Punk the title and claim it for himself, leading to Punk winning Royal Rumble 2012 and challenge HHH at WM 28 for the WWE title (almost similar to Edge/Taker feud in 2007 & 2008, resulting in their WM 24 match).
Chris Jericho has stated he’s not going to return to WWE in the near future, so fat chance in there.
And since Orton’s current role in SD! is practically the same with Cena’s in RAW, I think it would really be hard to imagine him not being in a WHC match at WM 28, more than likely against Daniel Bryan for an obvious reason.
On a side not, Rey Mysterio will probably face Sin Cara & Big Show is being planned to face Shaq in a celebrity match.
And that leaves Mark Henry & Mick Foley to go against Taker at WM 28. I’d personally pick Foley. Yes, he is not fit but WM 28 is 7 months away, he can get ready. Add to it he’s one of Taker’s 3 fiercest opponents (the other two being Kane & HBK) yet to face Taker at Mania. And the rest of the reason why I favor Foley has been said by other people above. And some matches, regardless of the quality, just have to happen at WM for the sake of history (e.g: Shane/Vince at WM 17, Hogan/Vince at WM 19, Goldberg/Lesnar at WM 20, Bret/Vince at WM 26, and Cole/Lawler at WM 27). Not to mention Taker’s biggest victory in his career can’t be any bigger than a victory against a longtime rival he hasn’t defeated at WM before, but I also can’t fathom who’d be the perfect last opponent for Foley than a man who by feuding with him, made both men legends.
If it were u, who u’d be u’r pick and why?
