When he came back last week, he said he would return to his old like starting June 16th, today, yet once more he finds himself inside a WWE ring. Next Monday will be his last Raw in a while because he'll go off to tour the country with his new book. But that cheap plug isn't the only reason he came to Dallas.
He wanted to explain how it felt to be in a Main Event one more time, to be in the Cell. He was a man of his word and counted the 1-2-3 for Triple H, but it still gave him pleasure to give The Game a taste of Mr. Socko. And it gave him pleasure to hear the roar of the crowd, feel and taste the blood streaming down his face. Last night, he remembered exactly who he really is.
Some new music plays, and a Titantron video plays for the collective Evolution. Triple H, Ric Flair, and Randy Orton come out and make their way into the ring. Orton asks just what Foley remembered: that he was a loser? That the man who retired him defeated Kevin Nash to retain the World Title? Or did he get jealous that Ric Flair beat Shawn Michaels to prove that he's still the greatest wrestler of all time? Or perhaps Foley realized that he's washed up and was never as good looking or talented as Orton.
But today, The Evolution is extending an opportunity to a WWE Superstar to become its fourth member. And if Foley plays his cards right, it just could be him.
Foley mocks him, saying that he'd love that so he can be part of a Four Horseman wanna-be. Orton may make mention of being a third-generation superstar, but he's just a bunch of testosterone with no way of working it out. Triple H is the World Champion; Ric Flair might be the best wrestler of all time; but Randy Orton, with so much potential, has shown nothing but the ability to whine about his injuries. These people don't love him for looking good, but because he busted his ass day in and day out all his life. Until Orton shows some heart, until he gets some gold, he has no business getting in this ring and calling himself a Superstar.
Orton asks why, if Foley has so much talent, did all these fans pay to see Orton and not Mick? He doesn't have to sleep in his car, live off popcorn, or mutilate his body to make a name for himself. He takes off his shirt and asks why you would want to mutilate such a work of art. He is the evolution of this business, not an out of shape freak who had to jump off rooftops to make a name for himself. Guys like Foley are extinct. He wishes Triple H never retired Foley so that Orton could make a name for himself by kicking Foley's ass.
Foley says that he is retired, so they can't wrestle. But that doesn't mean that Orton can't come over and give him his best shot. Foley drops the mic and lets Orton attack him. Orton starts to beat him into the corner, but Foley knocks him right back. He knocks Flair out of the ring and starts beating Triple H in the corner. He stomps Trips down and sets up for the knee, but Orton cuts him off with a clothesline. Orton hits a Diamond Cutter that stops Foley, but Maven and Al Snow run to the ring and clear the Evolution from the ring.
In the back, Eric Bischoff screams at Mae Young and Moolah. How dare they get in his ring, rub her crotch in his face, and embarass him in front of the world? Bischoff tells Moolah to get on something respectable to take Mae Young's 80-year-old ass into the ring for a match against a wrestler Bischoff will choose. Fade Out.

He was outside watching the grass grow and the paint dry, but it couldn't put him to sleep, so he thought of the only thing more boring: a Lance Storm match.
