After reading his last book, I'd say there is zero chance that he will do commentary again.

If Triple H were to turn heel, and Foley was the GM with some type of "guarenteed" contract, could be some interesting tv.

Used to be a fan, but now I could do without his his smug self-indulgent fat arse on television.

Put him backstage as a road-agent or even on the booking/writing staff. He always had a very creative imagination and a wealth of experience some of the younger guys could benefit from.

Wouldn't mind seeing one final match with Foley to make it 20-0 for the Undertaker. Unfortunately, I dont see this happening since it would likely be Taker's last WM match. Seeing Foley go up against The Miz or even Wade Barrett in a street fight of some sort could be decent.

Sign him to a legends deal and let him make random appearances on TV. Unless he's actually motivated enough to get back into decent shape then he's better off not getting back into the ring. He'd be ideal in the ambassador type role they wanted to use Flair in too.

Unfortunately, a Foley/Taker match would have to be pretty brutal to live up to their past matches. Plus, I always saw Taker's streak as a way of getting the new guys over, so Foley wrestling him does nothing for the long term. As far as Foley wrestling, it would be interesting to see him wrestle The Miz or Sheamus in a hardcore match.

There are other ways of bringing him back though. Maybe as a manager or RAW GM. In any event, I don't see him being a commentator again after his previous fall out with WWE...

Something with Punk, something with Christian, Hall of Fame next year and then sporadic appearances ala Bret Hart/Dusty Rhodes/Dibiase, whilst working for the WWE in an ambassador role like I think he used to.

Done and done.

Would be nice to have him back. Not sure what he'll do, don't really care. There's plenty going on that's doing very well, so his involvement in things might remain fairly supportive. As predictable and played out as it is, I wouldn't be surprised to see him have a couple exchanges with Cena about The Rock.

Nothing ill willed. Just to help keep Rock "going" on TV without Rock really having to be there. Could be that Foley doesn't agree with him talking shit about Rock being absent since Rock "got him reinstated" or whatever.

Could just come run around the ring with his arm raised for no reason and get a massive pop. Who knows. Don't mind either way.

Foley also has history with Triple H, so there's plenty with that, since they don't really wrestle. This is more likely than the former, I think, but I suppose it's all workable. Triple H retired Foley from wrestling in the WWE, they could always play around with that if they were both authority figures. Anonymous GM is possible. Haven't heard from that thing in a while.

I'm not saying this to "get into anyting with you" but has this ever been the case?

Yeah, breaking the streak would be a sure-fire way of getting a new face over but in the list of 19 matches at Mania the only real guy that was "climbing the ranks" that he's faced was Orton at 21 - who had already been WHC at that point.

HHH, HBK and Flair were already legends by the time they faced him. Edge and Batista were already fixtures in the Main Event. Kane and Mark Henry were already veterans when they faced him at Mania's 20 and 22 respectively.

It was more of a long term vision I think WWE should have for the streak. Having a battle with an established wrestler does nothing for the future. Sure, it is more intriguing to see it, but like I said, doing that only pads a resume. Whereas doing it with a yonger guy would almost instantly make them a legend.

Even doing it with semi established guys would work. Guys that have many years left in their careers. Orton, Cena, CM Punk, John Morrison, R-Truth, Sheamus, Drew McIntrye, Cody Rhodes, or etc are guys that could potentially benefit from defeating Taker @WM. I doubt WWE will ever let the streak be broken, but if it is, I wanna see the future benefit from it. Not a veteran who's gonna retire in a couple of years and not be helping the company long term...

I think him as a booker, providing they go more toward a non-PG product could be fucking gold based on how the momentum WWE is gaining (dependant on the Punk/Cena/HHH thing)

His ideas could surely be no worse than some of the stuff WWE creative has done in past few years. Wrestlers or former wrestlers tend to have more vision as a booker than some young kid fresh out of college. I think Foley being a part of WWE in one form or another is benefical to them...

Ppl here seem to give Foley crap about it, but at least he was attempting to make the wrestling business better. He came out of retirement trying to help TNA. He was one of the few WWE guys who was productive there. It's not like his matches were 5 stars classics, but I think he did a good job.

At the time, it was the right move for him. WWE was using him as a commentator and it didn't suit him. Going to TNA gave him a chance to be relevant again. WWE wasn't gonna let him wrestle again...
