10 WWE Street Fights That Actually Lived Up To The Name

7. Cactus Jack Vs. Triple H - Monday Night Raw 1997

"Somebody spank me I thought he was dead." Jim Ross set the tone for this bout perfectly as one of the three faces of Foley took to the ring for the first time in a very long time. The Oklahoman exclaimed: "Drastic times call for drastic measures! And for a man that has wrestled on nails and barbed wire and set himself on fire, this will be a day in Central Park!" And that certainly proved to be the case as the notion that is extreme wrestling was brought into WWE to flourish. One thing that is becoming increasingly apparent in this list is how great of a hardcore competitor Triple H was. He is labelled as this fantastic in ring general when in fact, his work with foreign objects far surpasses a lot of what he did in more bog standard matches. Jack, of course, would go over in this classic that epitomised the mantra pulsating through WWE at the time. The finish saw Cactus Spike Piledrive Hunter through a table on the stage in what was one of those finishes that stood the test of time throughout professional wrestling's biggest boom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yqi4LPAy_Y
