In his WWE career,
Edge has
been involved in some of the most memorable
WrestleMania
matches, and has won them all. At
WrestleMania 22, he hopes to continue that
trend when he steps into
Mick Foley’s
domain, taking on the Hardcore Legend in a
Hardcore Match.
On the Feb. 16 edition
of
RAW, Foley
was the referee for Edge’s
WWE Championship
Match against
John Cena.
After the Rated R Superstar was defeated, he
blamed the Hardcore Legend for the loss,
spearing him in the middle of the ring. The
next week, after defeating “Hacksaw” Jim
Duggan on RAW, Edge issued a WrestleMania
challenge to Foley, saying he would go to
Foley’s home to get an answer if he didn’t
show up the next week.
On the Feb. 27 RAW,
Foley declined Edge’s challenge of a
traditional match, instead offering a
Hardcore Match on April 2. Foley then rushed
the ring with a barbed-wire baseball bat,
sending Edge &
Lita
scurrying from the ring. The following week,
as Edge was prepared to spear
Maria,
Foley ran in to brawl with the Rated R
Superstar. Edge was able to come out on top,
spearing Foley and delivering a one-man
Conchairto. As Foley lay beaten in the ring,
Edge then announced that he accepted Foley’s
Hardcore challenge.
Last year at WrestleMania 21, Edge became
Mr. Money in the Bank. Can he come out on
top at WrestleMania once again, or will
Foley prove that he’s still the only
Hardcore Legend in WWE? Watch WrestleMania
on April 2 to find out. |
