#2) Randy Orton - WWE Backlash 2004

When Randy Orton was establishing himself as a truly gifted WWE superstar, he was going through his Legend Killer phase. And, one of those legends happened to be Mick Foley. The two men decided to settle their differences in a Hardcore match at WWE Backlash 2004.

As the match progressed, both men bloodied and battered each other with Orton finally looking to close things out with an RKO on a bed of thumbtacks. Foley reversed and threw his younger opponent back first into the tacks evoking one of the greatest sells of a thumbtacks spot, ever.

That is probably because Mr RKO had never felt anything akin to that in his life and this went a long way in legitimising Orton as one to watch.
