A microcosm of the company at the time, the famous ten-man tag that main evented an electric Dallas edition of Monday Night Raw served to highlight the sensation WWE had become.

The Rock, Mick Foley, Triple H and X-Pac had all enjoyed sizeable spotlight as the company rose to overturn WCW's mid-1990s dominance, but the six others sharing the stage spoke to a company reaching unfathomable heights. Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn (as well as the unfortunately-injured Eddie Guerrero) had left Atlanta feeling like spare parts - their placements in this match was a ginormous slap in the face the company for their campaign of indifference.

Meanwhile, Vince McMahon's operation had become such a star factory yet again that Too Cool and Rikishi felt, looked and acted like the main headliners they were for one night, even with the silliness that came attached to their outlandish gimmicks.

One of the most exciting segments in Raw history, the sheer level of talent on display also ensured a sky-high watermark between the ropes. For a brief period, WWE literally had it all. Until WrestleMania 17 just over a year later, there was probably no greater advertisement of the fact.
