10 Awesome Matches On Awful WWE Shows

10. The Rock Vs Mankind (Royal Rumble 1999)

The scarily violent 'I Quit' match between The Rock and Mankind was the only real highlight of an otherwise bad show at the height of the Attitude Era. Some critics would argue that the match was actually too excessive in its violence, particularly with the repeated headshots Mick Foley took, which is fair.

There were also some concerns about how the match finished, with the 'Great One' using an audio recording of Mankind saying "I Quit" to win the match. However, it remains a very important match in the career of both men and for the era in general which is still revered as the best creative period in WWE's history.

Most of the other stars were in the titular Royal Rumble match, which meant much of the undercard was filled with underwhelming matches that aren't particularly worth noting. Mr. McMahon winning the 30-man battle royal was a decision made for shock value more than anything else, when it may have been better to set up The Rock's WrestleMania opponent, Steve Austin, in a clearer way.
