10 Midcard WWE Stars Who Wrestled One Huge Match

4. Rikishi (WWE Championship 6 Man Hell In A Cell Match) - Armageddon 2000

The list of names that competed in the six man Armageddon Hell In A Cell match is like a who's who of the wrestling industry; a veritable bevy of future Hall Of Famers. Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rock. Triple H. The Undertaker. Kurt Angle. Rikishi Phatu. One of these names is not like the others and unfortunately for Rikishi, it's his. Despite the deep irony that Rikishi actually IS being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame Class Of 2015, there can be no doubt that his career in no way holds a candle to any of those other five competitors. His announcement for the Hall Of Fame was greeted with a healthy amount of scepticism, as it is debatable whether or not he truly deserves it. There can be no debate, however, about the fact that this match was the very pinnacle of his career, a pinnacle that he never got close to again. This match occurred during one of the least celebrated storylines of the Attitude Era, in which it was revealed that Rikishi, a babyface known for dancing and rubbing his ample posterior in opponents faces, was actually the despicable heel who had run over Steve Austin with a car. Rikishi's time as a 'Bad Man' was hilariously lampooned by The Rock during his legendary 'I did it for The Rock' promo, and the WWE had to do some hasty retconning, revealing that Triple H was the true mastermind who had paid Rikishi to do it. Ah, The Attitude Era.
