King Ross' 10 Favourite WWE Matches Ever

10. Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit Vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin & Triple H - RAW 21.5.01

The best match that never took place, if you will. Obviously, after all that took place with Chris Benoit in 2007 this is one of the stellar bouts that has been lost in WWE history.

It's the match where Triple H's quad rolled up his thigh. It's the match where Triple H then took a Walls of Jericho on the announcer's table in one of the most gruesome moments I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan.

That feat of intestinal fortitude alone is worthy of a place on this list. There's no denying it.

But for me, as good as the title change from the Two Man Power Trip to the Calgary Kids was, the work of Stone Cold and Triple H - the Texas Rattlesnake especially - is what made this match so great.

I don't know about you, but I prefer a heel to a babyface and the things Austin was doing during that match was as good a heel performance as I've ever seen.

Austin was a psychopath back then and during a traditional spot where the heels throw a babyface to the floor to have a breather/run away, Stone Cold did this but chased after the tumbling Benoit, leathering him in the face repeatedly.

It's those little things... they go such a long way.

A unadulterated rollercoaster display of tag team wrestling at its brilliant best.
