Sable's blatant disregard for the WWE Women's Championship one year earlier saw the belt largely binned off in favour of battles such as these in 1999, but by WrestleMania 2000 it was being held hostage by Stephanie McMahon - all The Kat and Terri Runnels could do was have a catfight.
It was all either of them were capable of. The match was even promoted as such, with Val Venis on hand as special referee with his d*ck in his hand, and Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young around for comedy spots older than they were.
If it all sounds needless and excessive, consider that it was actually the most scaled-back match all night. Kat and Runnels were the only two to have a singles match on the 'Show Of Shows'. In spite of that, these spots were the most charitable of all.
