That "blood capsule" moment is the other spot that sticks out in my mind. Wasn't there a DDT to Bastita on that chair too?
Oh shit that's right. I still think the straight shot that HHH took right to the head is much worse though. He had no way of protecting himself from that and it just looks nasty as fuck. They also used a steel chain to whip each other on the back iirc. Just a brutal match.
They don't use it in this match but one spot that always makes me look away is when somebody whips out the toolbox lol. Screwdrivers getting stabbed into the head is too much for me.

Agreed, that and HHH getting the shit beat out of him to make Big Dave Big Dave lol. Star making feud and match 100%.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
I'd probably agree with that minus Summerslam being above Taboo Tuesday. Though tbh after Raw 03 and TT 04 and Summerslam being a distant distant distant 3rd, I really don't care how the others get ranked, as long as the 3 Stages of Hell ends up dead last. I think they have a Raw match in 2006 and maybe a match at one of the Tribute to the Troops shows, but tbh I'm in no rush to watch either to make sure.

What matches other than HHH/Flair (and Foley/Flair??) was the screwdriver/toolbox used in? Drawing a blank.
