On this date in WWF history: Commissioner Mick Foley returns to Smackdown!

William Regal ... you have been relieved of your duties.

Mick Foley returned to pro wrestling on October 11, 2001, making a surprise appearance on Smackdown! as the new WWF Commissioner.

What makes this date in WWF history so special, at least for me, is the chance to see everyone at the top of their game. Foley delivers an entertaining (if not somewhat protracted) promo on "The Alliance," gives a couple of jabs to "Steve-O," and as usual, rattles off multiple "cheap pops" for the Illinois crowd.

And what a difference in commentating by WWE announcer Michael Cole!

What say you Cagesiders, does watching this video have you pining for Foley's possible return as RAW General Manager? Or not so much?
