While it could be classified as a simple hardcore match, this bout deserves its own entry because of the unique, historic nature of it.

In 1999, WWF was breaking down walls left and right with the Ninth Wonder of the World. It seemed like every month, Chyna was becoming the first woman in the company’s history to accomplish various milestones, such as qualifying for the King of the Ring tournament, becoming #1 contender for the WWF Championship, and then winning the Intercontinental Championship.

Chyna won the IC title in a Good Housekeeping match against Jeff Jarrett, as the latter blasted her for being a woman constantly. The hardcore match featured household items as weapons, which enabled Chyna to win the title as Jarrett left WWF for WCW.
