Featured Match: Rhyno vs. Raven, Hardcore Championship. Backlash 2001. It was not uncommon for wrestlers in a hardcore match- no disqualifications/no count-outs- to bring a plethora of weapons to ringside in a shopping cart. It's not all-that-common for said shopping cart to be used as an actual weapon. But Rhyno and then-WWF Hardcore Champion Raven did just that over the Hardcore Championship at Backlash 2001. Both wrestlers utilized the Piggly-Wiggly grocery store cart; Rhyno hit Raven in the face with the cart; Raven delivered a drop toehold to the Man Beast onto the steel cart. But it was when Rhyno went for his finisher- The Gore spear- the shopping cart played its biggest role. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woZTi8DSI4Q The visual of Rhyno getting himself stuck within the shopping cart was amazing, and garnered a great reaction from the crowd in Chicago. Surprisingly, it wasn't the finish of the match: a minute later, Rhyno was able to escape and deliver a proper Gore to score the pinfall, and the Hardcore Championship.
