Thoughts on the Flair-Foley Bloodbath
Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley was the showstealer of the night, no doubt. I think this match may have set the record for most blood loss without an actual wrestling hold applied.
Flair is turning into a hardcore nut over the past couple months with his last match with Foley, and then the ECW fiasco with Big Show. I know that Flair was always a bleeder, but man, over the past few months he could have filled a few blood banks with as much blood as he has left in the ring.
Both men took some sick bumps, and for the most part the match did what it promised to do - leave someone quitting with a bunch of pain in the process. It also I think made the point of turning Flair from good to bad, and Foley back from bad to good. Foley's act of protecting Melina in order to take the loss was a true act of a face, and something if they want this to continue will have to be talked about.
As for the overall keeping of this fued, it does have merit to keep it going, but I think after last night, it is safe to say that they will probably let it die and if Foley wants to stay in the wrestling picture, he will have to move on to another opponent.
