The five-hour broadcast of WrestleMania 20 is sometimes cited as a two-match show, with World title bouts that overdelivered. While much of the undercard featured very basic matches (not unlike a late-eighties/early-nineties 'Mania), there was a handicap match that deserved a lot more love than it got.

In what was Rock's last match for more than seven years, he, Mick Foley, and Rock's Be Cool goatee took on Ric Flair, Batista, and Randy Orton in match that would ultimately feature World champions from three different generations. While most of the focus was on Foley and Orton's acrimony, it's Rock and Flair who steal the show.

No surprise, right? The two most electrifying men in the match mixed hammy showmanship with their respective unique wrestling styles, and the result is a match that never ceases to be entertaining. This was the third best match of WrestleMania 20, and it's not even a distant third.
