#8 Mick Foley: 2006

Had a bad day

Following his brutal Hardcore match with Edge at WrestleMania 22, Mick Foley returned to RAW two months later where he challenged Edge to a rematch, which the Rated R Superstar accepted. Foley then revealed it would actually be a Triple Threat, and introduced Tommy Dreamer as the third participant.

The match quickly turned into an angle where Mick turned heel on Tommy, aligning himself with Edge and Lita. Despite it being shocking for those at home, the reaction to the heel turn in the building that night was rather quiet.

In the following weeks, Foley would wrestle in the newly revived ECW brand. The only notable time he was booed during this feud was at the One Night Stand event during his match.

Foley would then feud with Ric Flair in a worked shoot. Mick received some boos during this time but not as much as a heel should. He turned face just before he was written off the TV in August.

Mick would also have a heel run in TNA Wrestling in 2009, which actually went down better than his 2006 one in WWE, but it to was ultimately cut short due to he eventually being cheered more than booed.
