#4 Triple H 'retires' Mick Foley
Despite The Rock still proving why he was the company's most valuable asset, 2000 was also the year of Triple H. With Austin taking most of the year out, Foley being forced to take a step back due to injuries, and The Undertaker missing the first half of 2000 as well, it fell to Triple H to plug the gap and it's safe to say he achieved this like an expert.
A defining moment of The Game's ascension was his rivalry with Mick Foley, culminating with their match at No Way Out inside Hell in a Cell. The two had put on one of the WWF's greatest matches of all time at the Royal Rumble when their street fight arguably stole the show from the Rumble itself.
The feud dated back to the year before and led to the in-ring return of Cactus Jack, Mick Foley's more extreme gimmick who he needed to harness in order to match the aggression of the Game.
Due to the intensity of the feud, the stipulation for No Way Out was that if Foley lost, he would be forced to retire from the WWF. Despite Triple H picking up the win, Foley's retirement was short lived, making a return at Wrestlemania 2000 in the main event.
