#5 Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley
Before their ‘I Quit’ match at SummerSlam 2006, there were genuine issues between Ric Flair and Mick Foley dating back to their time in WCW when Flair was the booker of the company.
In Foley’s 1999 autobiography, ‘Have A Nice Day’, he called out ‘The Nature Boy’ by claiming that “Ric Flair was every bit as bad on the booking side of things as he was great on the wrestling side of it.” Flair would return the favour in his own 2004 book, where he described Foley as a “glorified stuntman”.
As opposed to some others on this list, this did lead to some great television for WWE as both men remained professional in the build to their SummerSlam bout, despite their feelings towards one another. That’s not to say that the feud wasn’t personal and the promos in the weeks prior to the match were intense, as you can see in the video below.
