10 Relatively Unheralded Matches Worth A WWE Network Revisit
7. The Dudley Boyz Vs. The Hardy Boyz - WWF Royal Rumble 2000
The famous TLC matches contested by these two teams and Edge and Christian are what most remember fondly when recalling the tag team action of the Attitude Era.
The match which started it all, the Terri Invitational Tournament ladder final, is also held in higher regard than this, but it's arguably the most organic and streamlined of all the gimmicked wars the legendary teams did battle in.
The timing and execution is superb - the narrowness with which Matt helps Jeff avoid an early fall can be measured in milliseconds. Even tighter still, in the match's most thrilling sequence, D-Von just barely avoids a legdrop through a table by Matt before trying to catch his breath by resting on a propped up table. Less than a second later, he avoids Jeff's senton bomb by a similarly compact timeframe.
Some of the brain-rattling chair shots are excessive - Jeff Hardy unnecessarily catches one right on the back of the skull - but they're sold with sufficient conviction, at least. Bubba Ray looks like he's in receipt of a lobotomy in a performance which just about falls on the right side of exaggerated.
