– Speaking to Monopoly Events at For The Love of Wrestling 2025, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley spoke about his match with Randy Orton at WWE Backlash 2004. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Mick Foley on his favorite match: “My favorite match I ever wrestled was Backlash against Randy Orton in 2004.”
On how they changed the perception of Randy Orton in one night: “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.”
