WWE's product was so hot in 2000 that the goings on from a standard issue Monday Night Raw were entertainment enough for the sold out crowds every week. The company nonetheless added value at the end, ordinarily relying on either The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin to hold court with - and dish out beatings to - whomever happened to be the biggest heel at the time.

It was Triple H's turn on this night, taking a beating from 'The Great One' after humorously trying to atone for his sins when confronted by The Undertaker and Kane. 'The Game' then had to lie there and sell whilst the rest got to play.

Rock first needled 'The Deadman' into putting forth a stoic admittance of his and 'The Big Red Machine's penchant for "Poontang Pie", before Kane delivered his wonky own version of The People's Elbow.

It all looks incredibly silly in hindsight, but it's part of the undeniable charm. Like so many scenes from that year, every single person, catchphrase and move is over. The action may be lukewarm through a 2018 lens, but the crowd are molten for every single moment.
