One of the main headlines to come out of this past Monday’s Raw was the Survivor Series match between Team Punk and Team Foley. Even though Foley won’t be competing, he’s still an important factor in this match. Much like Paul Heyman in Team Punk. Since Foley is returning in a semi-active role again, I’ve decided to make this a Mick Foley edition of “Remember When.”
Do you remember when Foley was “Lost in Cleveland”?
It was WCW April 1993. Cactus Jack (Foley) was facing then WCW Champion Vader in a one-on-one match. During the match, Vader powerbombed Jack on the concrete floor which resulted Jack to land on his head causing a concussion and loss of feeling in his left foot. While Foley was out of action, WCW run an angle where Foley was institutionalized, escaped, and developed amnesia. A reporter was sent to cover the story. She went to the hospital where Jack was last seen and eventually ended up in some back alley in Cleveland where a fan letter stated Jack was at.
While in that alley, the reporter came across a guy named Swampy who lead her to a clean shaven Jack who was speaking in a philosophical manner. Despite the efforts of the reporter from trying to explain who Jack is to even bringing in his wife and son.
Foley has stated that he wanted the storyline to be serious so the fans could have sympathy for him upon his return. However WCW went a different route and we got we saw.
As I’ve stated earlier, Foley has returned in a semi-active role as the captain of Team Foley. What do you all think of Team Foley? What do you all think of Team Punk?
I like both teams . It should be a good wrestling match but its just like previous 5 on 5 Survivor Series’ matches, it has no real importance. I’m going with a Team Foley win.

Nope, you got me this week, Jeremy! But I have watched the videos before. Classic stuff.
I think it’s going to be one of the best traditional SS matches in recent years. I agree with JW that it doesn’t really carry importance but I think the build up should be enjoyable to watch leading to the PPV.

I didn’t know about ECW when this happened.

Seeing that i have been exploring terlamorpy for a pleasant study with reference to this one topic . Researching in Yahoo I lastly came across this web site. Reading these details I am relieved to convey that I get a good uncanny feeling I came across precisely what I needed. I most certainly will make sure to remember this web-site and check it out consistently.
