As for Foley, without the big bumps, he was just a great talker with a bad look.

Great talkers with bad looks become WWE managers, not WWE Superstars.

The big bumping style also ushered in a more hard-hitting, less hokey style which fuelled WWF Attitude. Without Foley, and the hardcore injection he and The Undertaker provided in 1996, I think there would have been no Attitude era, or at least it would have been tamer. Foley wasn't an innovator, but he redefined the brawling style.

And, as someone pointed out, Flair calling Foley a "glorified stuntman" is the pot calling the kettle black, as surely ALL wrestlers could be labelled as such... and it becomes all the more hypocritcal having watched Flair rolling around in thumbtacks on ECW and in Hardcore matches last year.

Fuck Flair. For a great in-ring performer, he can be quite the dick himself. He's one of my favourite characters and wrestlers of all time, but Richard Fliehr is an arrogant, jealous mark-for-himself jackass. And if I have to hear him refer to Triple H as "the greatest wrestler alive today" one more time, I may have to find him and kill him. And I don't mean on-screen either... he apparently parades this self-serving, ass-kissing "belief" to anyone who will listen backstage, to the media... maybe even to himself in the mirror, I don't know.
