What do you remember most from the 2001 Royal Rumble? Kane making history by throwing 11 wrestlers over the top rope? How about Steve Austin winning and securing his slot at WrestleMania X-Seven? Those great moments are why few talk about the opener, but it was one of the best tag matches of the year.

Edge & Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz lasted just shy of 10 minutes and came before the famous TLC II match at 'Mania X-Seven. It can't live up to that weapon-heavy brawl, which probably explains the lack of attention it gets. That doesn't mean it's not worth your time though.

Arguably even more so than The Hardy Boyz did with the same opponents, The Dudleyz had great chemistry with Edge and Christian. It's surprising they didn't have more straight up tag matches on pay-per-view when you see the quality on offer here. This is a true hidden gem.
