Another case of the sum of its parts being far better than the whole, this deeply disappointing multi-man match capped off a WrestleMania overflowing with them.

The 'McMahon In Every Corner' main event of the April 2000 'Show of Shows' was an attempt to collect all the heat stored up from the combatants' individual conflicts over the prior years between Triple H, The Rock, Mick Foley and The Big Show, but instead diluted all their individual hostilities and managed to provide two separately deflating outcomes in one match.

Foley's inclusion in the match was the most divisive. Having legitimately attempted to retire less six weeks earlier at February's No Way Out pay-per-view (more on that later), Linda McMahon completed the family quartet to rebook the show's main event after Triple H had snuck past Vince McMahon's Rock and Shane McMahon's Big Show on a typically frenetic episode of Monday Night Raw.

Though relatively fresh off his absorbing wars with 'The Game' earlier in the year, sentimental favourite Foley wasn't mentally or physically up to the challenge of adequately portraying his one night only 'life long dream' arc, and got eliminated via a Pedigree onto a steel chair, leaving The Rock and Triple H to contest what most felt should have been the actual main event.
