In the first case of two stars taking part in so many memorable matches that some were always going to be lost in the shuffle, here we have one of the finest Last Man Standing encounters WWE have ever brought to their audience.

Chris Jericho and Triple H would obviously go on to main event WrestleMania X-8, battle inside of Hell in a Cell, and even more memorably took part in one of the most shocking unexpected title changes in Raw history before either of those big-time battles. However, when it comes to their out-and-out best war between the ropes, the pair's Fully Loaded 2000 war is head-and-shoulders above the rest.

Y2J in particular proved he deserved his spot at the top of the card in this hard-hitting clash, playing the undeniable babyface with aplomb in the face of a despicable Helmsley/Stephanie McMahon unit. The sight of a bloodied and almost beaten Game clawing himself back up to beat the ten count as Jericho sold a back-body drop through the announce desk like he'd just been murdered sent the crowd into a frenzy and established the relative WWE newcomer as a main event star of tomorrow.
