Wrestling fans can't forget how Edge once speared Mick Foley through a flaming table. The two stars clashed in a Hardcore Match at WWE WrestleMania 22. This feud started when Foley served as the special guest referee for Edge's WWE Championship Match with John Cena.

Edge felt like he was cheated out of a victory, so he took his frustrations out on Foley. This conflict set the stage for an iconic match at WWE WresleMania. The bout culminated with Edge spearing Foley through the burning table.

Edge slowly covered Foley for the three count to win the match. After Edge's spear into the flames, both "The Rated R Superstar" and Foley were left in a bloody, quivering mess.

This Hardcore Match had quite an effect on both Superstars. In an interview with Inside The Ropes, Edge said that he considers this bout as a WrestleMania moment for both him and Foley. The contest featured thumbtacks, baseball bats, barbed wire, and even fire. It still stands as one of the most brutal WrestleMania matches of all time.
