10 Most Berserk WWE Matches Ever
3. Six-Pack Challenge - Unforgiven 1999
This was prime Attitude Era fury.
It was as if slipping back into tights temporarily healed the British Bulldog of his knackered back; he sold for The Rock’s explosive opening salvo like his old New Generation Era self. None of the early exchanges outstayed their welcome. Even the “bowling shoe” ugly sequence between Kane and the Big Show was buoyed by the fact that it was never far away from being over. The intra-match competition seemed to light a fire beneath them. They exchanged superkicks and enzuigiris in a mini-match almost as entertaining as their Great Chain Wrestling Exhibition Of 2006.
It was all a preamble to the crazed arena-wide brawl, which Rock precipitated by running the entire length of the ramp to clothesline Triple H out of his boots. This being fought before a time of increased concussion awareness, the ultra-violence did not wilt. Mankind planted Triple H with a piledriver on the ring steps, acting almost as an audience surrogate in a brain-rattling procession of rocket pacing and monster bumping. The trademark raucous crowd, drunk on the six-pack novelty of watching several top stars lay waste to everybody in sight, elevated it, as did Stone Cold Steve Austin’s hilarious guest commentary.
It has aged - the formula has since been tweaked and followed ad nauseam - but for heat and novelty, there are few multi-man matches as electric as this.
