10 Best WWE Randy Orton Matches

#1 Randy Orton vs. Mick Foley - Backlash 2004

Could it have been anything else?

This is the match that made Randy Orton a star.

This was pretty wild. A bloody and violent warfare, Mick Foley could not have done any more to put Orton over. Foley tossed Orton off the stage through some tables, hit a vicious elbow drop and the involvement of barbwire ensured this match truly had it all.

Perhaps the most memorable spot came when Foley/Jack pulled out a bag that turned out to be thumbtacks. He poured them out all over the ring. Orton charged in, went for an RKO, but Jack countered, dropping Orton back first onto the tacks, with the tacks sticking onto his back.

The finish would see Orton hitting Foley onto "Barbie" for the three-count.

Simply an outstanding match.

Mick Foley has since called this match one of the best and most favourite matches of his career and the best match he had for many years.
