Randy Orton vs Mick Foley Intercontinental Championship Backlash (2004)

The match that MADE RANDY ORTON! I believe this is the match that we all knew he would be a superstar and a future Hall of Famer! Mick Foley really elevated Randy Orton!

I know Foley is a respected but not enough people understand this dude helped elevate triple H, Rock, Orton

RKO came in the next SmackDown show with the pin holes still on his body !! Crazy show of 2004...WWE can never attempt this kind of match in 2023 or future!

How come WWE don’t do these kind of incredible matches anymore?

Mick Foley has his own style to wrestling. The stories he puts across with each match and the way he makes everyone feel about matches make him an amazing performer if you ask me.

Mick put Randy on the map for the rest of his career. Randy, in this match, showed his worth and future value to the company. Legendary

A true coming of age story for randy. This one was important to him.

The match that helped Orton be a main eventer and proved himself 🔥

One of my all-time favorite matches. Orton was a made man after this bout.
