Mick Foley vs. Ric Flair

[5.0] "This whole feud was just WEIRD, imo. These two seem to dislike working with each other and it kind of felt like that bled into the storyline. The Melina stuff was so bizarre too. They like shoehorned Melina into being Mick's friend just for this spot and the eventual betrayal but it's hard to care. If this was something like early 2000s Matt Hardy quitting to save Lita, it'd work. But this was just strange. Neither him, nor Flair, really came off good. Some cool spots at least, I will say that."

[9.0] "The involvement of Melina was so not needed, but this was still a fantastic brawl between both men with amazing and physical action and psychology between each other, and they put on quite the performance given their age and state of their bodies."

[0.0] "Typcial crappy hardcore Foley match. Too violent and disgusting to even enjoy. A match for freaks, abysmal. Awful finish with Foley quitting because of Melina. Put this one in the bin."

[5.0] "As I mentioned in my review of their match from the previous month, I hate this feud. The quality of this match is pretty good, but again, I find it so disrespectful to Foley. Foley should have gone over. It is an I Quit match. Foley has been blown up, set on fire, lost an ear, thrown off tons of cages, broken and dislocated so many bones we can't count, and took some of the most brutal chair shots known to man, and he never gave up in an I Quit match. So you are telling me Flair hits him with some weapons he has been hit with thousands of times and threatens some girl that Mick only got together with for about a month, and he quits..? Anyone who loves Mick and knows his career well knows how absolutely stupid the very thought of that is. For the match itself, it was a blood bath, and I give a TON of respect to Flair for playing Foley's game. Flair easily could have just relied on Foley to take all of the signature bumps and weapon shots, but he was taking them with the best of them. His rage at the end was classic and brilliant Flair character work like he always has. Considering they are both past their prime, as a match, this is quite good if you like these bloody affairs. I just don't like this feud, I think they should have given Foley a nod for once, and think the entire thing is an insult to Mick."

[8.0] "Two legends past their prime putting on a show on a big stage. It's violent, it's bloody, and it's highly enjoyable. Ric Flair's vicious side is always great to see, just like Foley's hardcore style, and it did not disappoint despite the awkward finish involving Melina. *** 3/4"

[8.0] "This was a damn good match and both guys beat the hell out of each other and really worked hard for the fans. Flair really kicked it up a notch here and Foley did what he does best, putting out the match of the night in my opinion. I didn't mind the finish as it kept both guys looking strong had Ric looking like a maniac and matching Mick at his own game. Solid 4 stars."

[8.0] "Pretty good I Quit match. I wasn't expecting Mick Foley to say I Quit. Ric flair deserved to win. Melina coming out because she was nervous for Mick Foley and her causing him to say I Quit was used well."

[10.0] "this is a very good hardcore bloody fight, I really like watching mick foley in what he does, he's great and ric sowed revenge here and it all came together in a good fight, probably the worst of all mick foley fights that I rated 10/10 but he still has a 10 rating so it's very good"

[7.0] "This was bloody but there were just too many false finishes. Other than than this was a really good match"

[2.0] "This is just sad to watch. Too old pricks fighting each other for God knows what reason at this point with both of them barely functioning. Flair bleeds again, but because he's done it in every single PPV lately it didn't have any imapct and Foley once again attempts to get paralized. I did not want to see this, they had no reason to do this hardcore bullshit at this stage of their careers, we already had Sabu vs Show on this PPV and nobody even benefited from this fiasco."

[7.0] "A match that started well but ended too soon. I think it's a shame and we could have done a little better. (3*1/2)"

[6.0] "Yeaaaa, maybe they don't do anything too wrong, but given who's in it and their age I found it hard to watch. The ending also felt like a cop out, but I suppose they wanted to protect both guys. Had the feeling of a "worked shoot" given the history between them."

[9.0] "One of the most underrated matches in WWE history. Not only did they go all-out in this match, but this is probably the second best Flair bout since his WWE return in my opinion. The violence, blood, grit, just everything was there and at a maximum level."

[10.0] "I love this match and I think it is so underrated it is just so good both men bleed a lot and this is a true hardcore match."

[9.0] "Foley attacks Flair to start the match. Flair chopping Foley with Mr. Socko is a nice touch. Barbed wire and thumbtacks are involved in the match. It's two old guys just going crazy on each other, it's so much fun to watch. Mad respect to both, especially Flair."

[6.0] "I give a 6/10 rating, as the match itself is spicy, but mick foley dropping out so quickly won't get a higher rating."

[8.0] "I'll forgive the questionable ending because the match itself was just pure, straightforward barbarity, especially by WWE standards. Watching Flair take all of those hardcore bumps was just crazy, especially in the twilight of his career."

[10.0] "Honestly one of the hardest matches in the history of WWE. Baffling to me how this isn't regarded as among the best performances of these two guys' careers"

[7.0] "A bit disappointing. This was on the way to be great but the ending really sucked which dragged the whole match down. Flair and Foley made this a violent battle given their real-life feud at that time. Also, the audience wasn't really 100% into this bloody match."

[9.0] "Definitely way better than I anticipated! Violent, bloody, impassioned, I was very invested in this. It's clear Foley had the Funk/Flair I Quit match in mind, but in the end Flair was willing to match Foley's style in ways he never expected. Great late career match from two all time greats."

[8.0] "Classic and brutal I quit match between two legends, it gets bloody and intense near the beginning, so they gave it all for their final match. Not the top quality but the best they could do at that time, so I'm perfectly fine with this match. ***3/4"

[8.0] "An absolutely violent I Quit match. They went to war and destroyed each other in the process. Had the ending been better, I could see myself giving it 4-stars, but even with that messy ending w/ Melina, this was still awesome. ***3/4"

[9.0] "Great hardcore battle. Probably one of the more underrated I Quit matches. Foley and Flair beat the crap outta eachother here, with alot of pride of not quitting behind them. ****1/4, would've rated it higher of not for the stupid Melina involvement."

[6.0] "Foley and Flair had traded written barbs in their books. Flair dismissed much of Foley’s accomplishments by claiming him to be a glorified stuntman. I was quite engaged in this on-screen rivalry after having read what each had said about each other in the numerous years prior. It failed to live up to the hype in the ring, though. We needed a clean winner and we got something silly involving Melina."

[4.0] "While I am a big fan of Foleys especially his more hardcore matches this match in particular didn't really do much for me. It seemed to be made to be brutal just for the sake of it and didn't really have any rhyme or reason. The match was basically just Mick make aric bleed profusely then Ric make Mick bleed profusely with no real structure to the fight. Also the inclusion of Melina made no sense then and still holds little sense today. I had high hopes for this match and it failed to deliver."
