I forgot all about Beach Blast, that match rules from what I recall.
And yeah apart from the two spots the rest of the Cell match with Taker is a decent hardcore match.

Over the Edge is by far my favorite. The Rumble match with Hunter is probably my #2. I wish I could exactly remember the old DylanWaco line about the best thing HHH ever did was occupy space while Foley worked a classic & dove headfirst into thumbtacks.
Cap, are you just doing singles matches or would Cactus & Partner vs Nasty's from 94 not make your top 5 in general?
What's everyone's favorite match he had with Taker? Again I haven't watched those in forever.

I was just thinking singles I guess. I would probably put the Jack/Max Payn vs Nastys match at #5, but its pretty close.

What's everyone's favorite match he had with Taker? Again I haven't watched those in forever. Buried Alive is a really fun brawl. And the Boiler Room Brawl is a blast as well. The opening minutes of Taker looking for Foley only for him to slowly sneak up behind him was like something out of a horror movie in the best possible way.

I think my favorite with Taker would still be the Hell in a Cell Match. Not only do I see it as a pretty good match outside of the crazy bumps, I don't think you can take the crazy bumps out of the equation. As far as emotion and drama... Foley returning to the ring to finish the match is up there for me. Its one of those instances where I don't want people to do what Foley did, but I'll be damned if the match wasn't unforgettable for his efforts.

Cap said:
I didn't notice at first, but these are all against different people. So I was wondering, who do people think Foley's best career opponent is? Like obviously the Mind Games match is awesome, but didn't they only have one other match? Meanwhile, he had a million matches with Vader but none on the level of Mind Games. I figure the best candidates are Eddie Gilbert, Sting, Vader, Terry Funk, Sabu, Taker, Austin, Rock, HHH.

Its a good question. My gut says its between HHH, Vader, and Funk... each offering something very different for Foley to work off of. I'll have to give it some more thought though.

Overall body of work, Cactus. But his best match (Shawn) was as Mankind.
