Ignoring the utterly absurd moment Bushwhacker Butch casually tugs on Ray Rougeau's genitalia midway through taking a powerslam, there's very little to...ahem...grab onto in this meaningless midcard match.

Coliseum Video affianados may reflect with dread on the times Sean Mooney queued up a blockbuster tag battle only to dole out more rubbish between these two sides, but - as with all the filler dross on this show - the duos were only out there to fulfil the star-heavy brief at the time.

It's perhaps worth allowing yourself a guiltily wry smile at the groping then - The Bushwhackers were useless for WWE outside of odd bouts of comedy, even if the patter here was in the unexpected pat-down.
