#1 Randy Orton vs. Cactus Jack - Backlash 2004
Yes, Backlash 2004 was a solid event. Not only the just mentioned Triple Threat, but one outstanding Hardcore match also, and as put by many, the match that made Randy Orton a star.
This was pretty wild. A bloody and violent warfare, Mick Foley could not have done any more to put Orton over. Foley tossed Orton off the stage through some tables, hit a vicious elbow drop and the involvement of barbwires ensured this match truly had it all.
Perhaps the most memorable spot came when Foley/Jack pulled out a bag that turned out to be thumbtacks. He poured them out all over the ring. Orton charged in, went for an RKO, but Jack countered, dropping Orton back first onto the tacks, with the tacks sticking onto his back.
The finish would see Orton hitting Foley onto "Barbie" for the three-count.
Outstanding match. Nothing else to say!
