Crash Holly had made the Hardcore Title meaningful in 2000 by reframing cartoon weapons ascomedic (and literal, in the case of the cookie sheets) foil. Though he sadly wasn't part of the genre's apex here, the triple threat brawl between Raven, The Big Show and Kane was arguably the best ever use of both monsters and the unfancied ECW escapee.

Intricately staged and shot, the trio took the audience on an ultimate thrill ride long before Pitbull gave the rest of us the Green Light a decade and a half.

Raven was hurled through a window, the crew nearly cut the power out riding a golf cart over wires, and Kane even won the title with a high spot as if the match, the belt and/or the man himself actually mattered on the night.
