11 Greatest Carry Jobs In WWE History

Triple H and Kevin Nash had a host of woeful matches in 2003, but the one anomaly came at the UK-only pay-per-view Insurrextion, sandwiched between abysmal pay-per-view main events at Judgment Day and the first ever Raw-only pay-per-view Bad Blood.

Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair made cameos in their promoted appearances as seconds for Nash and 'The Game' respectively in the first encounter, but it was quite the opposite when the two met again under 'Street Fight' rules on the traditionally irrelevant European tour showpiece.

Bookending another useless go-around between the Kliq buddies, Michaels and Flair literally bled, sweat and paid the price by leathering the life out of one another to ensure fans didn't leave early to beat the traffic. Mere minutes into the match, Ric Flair interfered, triggering a frantic ringside brawl with 'HBK' that left 'The Nature Boy's blonde mop doused in claret.

The war waged in and out of the ring as a distraction for the desperately boring World Title match taking place concurrently, making the whole thing feel more like a tornado tag war. Referees eventually separated the duo, but a bloody and battered Flair would return later in the contest, triggering a second scuffle with Michaels that again offered more in 20 seconds than the main eventers could in 20 minutes.

In the chaos of the final battle, Triple H hit Kevin Nash with a sledgehammer and covered for the win. It was 2003, of course he did.
