Mick Foley vs. Umaga
Why is Armando not with Umaga anymore? That was the best part of Umaga. Foley with a cheap shot, knocks Umaga off the apron before he gets in the ring. They brawl outside, and finally slide in the ring. Foley pummels away in the corner on Umaga. The Ref pulls them apart, and Umaga clotheslines Foley. They fall back outside, the match still hasn’t officially started. Foley knocks Umaga’s head off the announce table, gets a chair, and slaps Umaga over the head, but Umaga is unfazed, and kicks the chair right into Foley’s face. Foley is propped up against the ringsteps, and Umaga does the running ass bump against the ringsteps. The match is thrown out, and medics come down to check on Foley.
