6 most violent WWE matches of the 2000s
The 2000s were a time of great change in WWE.
At the start of the 21st Century, the company was gripped in its Attitude Era, with stars like The Rock 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Undertaker ruling the roost.
These stars eventually gave way to the Ruthless Aggression, with stars like Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle, before Randy Orton, Batista and John Cena took centre stage, and today we have smaller stars like Daniel Bryan, AJ Styles and Finn Balor.
One thing that hasn't changed though, is that some matches can get downright brutal, and there have been plenty of bouts over the past 19 years that have made fans wince in horror.
Here are the six most violent WWE matches of the 2000s, and which Superstar's paid the price for the fans' entertainment.
#6 The Dudley Boyz Vs. Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman (ECW One Night Stand 2005)
After the success of the Rise and Fall of ECW documentary, plans were put into motion for a special one-off reunion show for the extreme brand which had gone under in 2005.
In an exciting and emotional night, the show was topped by Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman (both former ECW World Champions), teaming together to face the Dudley Boyz.
There were run-ins made by numerous wrestlers not supposed to be involved in the encounter, ladders, cane shots and other shenanigans, and the ending included a table being set on fire.
The finish, which saw Dreamer sent through a flaming table, shocked everyone who saw it, as for many members of the WWE Universe, this was their first glimpse at what ECW had done during it's peak.
