Why WWE Has Finally Fixed THIS Historic Flaw
Time's arrow neither stands still nor reverses, it merely marches forward. And there's perhaps no crueler a realisation of that than coming to terms with the Dallas 10-Man Tag now being almost a quarter of a century ago.
You wouldn't think it to watch it, save for all footage in the pre-HD era making the whole thing look like it was etched on cave walls. Earlier in the February 7th 2000 edition of the show, Cactus Jack was booked by Triple H to go 5-on-1 against him, X-Pac, Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko, but by main event time he'd been joined by The Rock in fabulously heroic form. As the two went into war, Too Cool and Rikishi followed, leaving the heels shellshocked and the sides even.
An intense thriller followed, playing out to the sort of constant noise that, in 2023, would have you convinced that Kevin Dunn had passed out on his applause button. The entire building was set to "vibrate", and it remained that way for a post-match return of Kane with a fresh coat of paint and brand new chokeslams for the heels. Everybody on screen, from Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler and a shellshocked Stephanie McMahon on the call, to the returning 'Big Red Machine' to the immediately elevated midcarders making up the numbers with the main eventers, was over. Over over. WrestleMania over. Hunter, Rock and Mick Foley main evented the 'Show Of Shows' with Stephanie as one of the key sidekicks. Kane and Rikishi worked against DX, Too Cool and Rikishi opposed The Radicalz and the stage was set for a Summer just as hot as spring.
Did this happen again with Monday's faction action?
