10. The Rock, Mick Foley, Rikishi & Too Cool vs. Triple H, X-Pac, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko & Saturn (Raw 2/7/00)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-koj9Uwdr4 When Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero and Saturn debuted in WWE as The Radicalz, it was a huge injection of talent to the roster while simultaneously ripping the heart out of WCW. The four men were virtually peerless when it came to in-ring work and fans were salivating at all the fresh matchups we were about to get. The foursome came in as babyfaces but quickly turned on Mick Foley in appreciation for Triple H granting them contracts. This led to one of the hottest matches Raw has ever seen. After an injury to Guerrero put him on the shelf, Hunter and X-Pac teamed up with Benoit, Saturn and Malenko to faceMick Foley. But when it came time for the match, as Foley cautiously made his way to the ring, If you smeeeeeeeeell came over the loudspeakers and the arena went apesh*t. As The Rock n Sock Connection hit the ring to brawl with their foes, they were joined by Rikishi, Scotty Too Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay to even up the odds. The match had some of the most incredible heat ever witnessed, especially in the post-kayfabe era, and all 10 men busted their a**es to put on a great show. Like so many bouts of that era, the contest broke down into chaos and ended with all 10 men in the ring brawling, then being joined by the remaining members of DX before Kane interrupted the proceedings to obliterate all the heels. It was a great ending to an awesome match.
