I still say that HHH/Austin vs Benoit/Jericho was the best tag team match of all time.

I hope HHH doesn't tear a quad again for the simple fact every time he does he comes back he is 'stronger' and more 'dominant' than before... I think they see it always as a good opportunity to push him extra hard when he comes back.
Actually if he tears a quad badly again maybe that will end his inring career.. well I'm willing to give it another try?

I was at Raw that night in San Jose when the Canadian Chrises beat HHH and Stone Cold. You could tell during the match that HHH was hurting, but I was really impressed about how he gutted it outto finish the match. Fantastic match and the crown went absolutely apeshit when Benoit and Jericho won the belts.
