1. Cactus Jack Vs. Triple H – Royal Rumble 2000
Mick Foley and WWE Championship matches at the Royal Rumble have been brutal affairs. Foley dropped the WWE Championship to The Rock at the 1999 Royal Rumble in a hard-to-watch “I Quit” match.
Twelve months later, Foley, in his Cactus Jack gear, challenged Triple H for the WWE Championship in a Street Fight at the 2000 iteration of the Royal Rumble. This time, Cactus had the hometown support with the Rumble emanating from Madison Square Garden in his home state of New York.
Cactus and Triple H brought out the best in each other, and yet again, it was an enthralling match between the pair of three-time WWE Champions. The Game showed his toughness, as a chunk of wood was etched into his leg. Ultimately, the brutality continued with Cactus executing a piledriver on the broadcast table.
Nevertheless, Triple H, drenched in blood, weathered the storm as a couple of Pedigrees with the second one directly onto the thumbtacks, which was enough for the Cerebral Assassin to remain as the WWE Champion.
