Heading into 2000, one of the WWF’s hottest acts was a fat, dancing Samoan and his sidekicks, two white wannabe hip-hoppers. To anyone under 20, that might sound ludicrous, but Rikishi and Too Cool were extremely popular.

At the 2000 Rumble, Grand Master Sexay found himself alone with his buddy Rikishi, with the big guy in a groove, having eliminated three men already. Fortunately, Scotty 2 Hotty was the next entrant and rushed out with Rikishi’s sunglasses. They put the shades on the big Samoan and the three proceeded to do their entrance dance to a huge ovation…

…Until Rikishi clotheslined and eliminated Too Cool. (Remember, it’s every man for himself!) Rikishi, Sexay and Scotty made up, and fans got a truly memorable moment.
