The so-called "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" was actually the greatest cavalcade of wrestling homages in recent memory.

Edge and Randy Orton used Eddie Guerrero's suplexes, Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat's kneeled duelling chops, Kurt Angle's Olympic Slam, Christian's Unprettier, The Rock's Rock Bottom, Triple H's Pedigree and a whole host of other favourites.

Edge even bust out some old gems like his Edgecution and Edge-O-Matic signatures. The whole thing played out like the kind of match two teenagers play-wrestling would have. Don't try this at home, kids. You probs wouldn't be able to remember every tribute these guys used anyway.
