Edge and Foley: Rated 'O' Superstars

Uh...? Was it just me or did I hear Edge use the phrase "Rated O" last night on Raw when describing Mick Foley?!?! Well...although Edge was being derogatory (claiming the "O" stood for "overrated"), I'd have to agree that Mick Foley is rated "O". In fact, I don't think there is another competitor in WWE history that has earned more 'O's per match than the one-eared wonder himself. Whether as Mankind or Cactus Jack (Dude Love wasn't all that O-riffic), Foley has made wrestling fans jump out of their seats screaming "OOOOOHHH!!!" a thousand times over. At this year's WrestleMania, I expect nothing less than a ridiculous O-fest from Foley and Edge in their Hardcore Match.

Both Edge and Foley did a good job promoting what promises to be quite an 'O'ffair ('O'-kay I know I'm 'O'verdoing it - but bear with me, Big Daddy isn't the only one who can work a gimmick). Edge discussing the numerous TLC and Ladder matches that he's been a part of sets the table - so to speak - of what we can expect from these two. Edge, himself, of course, is no stranger to garnering O's. The TLC matches at both WrestleMania 2000 and X-Seven were easily the showstealers. In eager anticipation of this match, I offer my favourite Edge and Mick Foley 'O'-moments:

MICK FOLEY:
This is is 'O'bvious: King of the Ring 1999 - The Undertaker vs. Mankind in a Hell in a Cell Match: - Taker tosses Mick Foley (Mankind) off the top of the Hell in a Cell cage through the announce table some 15 to 20 feet below. Just as O-worthy is Taker's chokeslam on top of the cage that sent Mick straight through to the ring below (followed by a chair that knocked Foley's tooth into his nose!).

EDGE:
WrestleMania X-Seven - Edge & Christian vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. The Dudleys in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match for the World Tag Team Championship: Although this 'O' doesn't directly involve Edge, it begins with him. Edge spears Jeff Hardy off of the ladder down to the ring mat while Bubba Ray and Matt Hardy climb another ladder in the middle of the ring. Rhyno enters and pushes the ladder propelling Matt and Bubba to crash into a double stack of tables outside of the ring!

'O' yeah!!
