Match of the Day - The Rhodes Dynasty all or nothing match against The Shield

Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. The Shield (Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins) - The Rhodes Family's careers on the line - WWE Battleground (2013)

Out of the weakest WWE PPV of 2013 comes one of the best matches of the year, it's the Rhodes brothers taking on the most dominant tag team in a long time, The Shield. If Cody and Goldie lost the match the Rhodes, including Huckleberry Dusty who works for NXT, would have lost their jobs and could never work in WWE again (because the Authority (Stephanie McMahon and Triple H) didn't like them or something (citation needed)).

This match and the whole storyline really was one of the most surprisingly good things to come out of WWE in the past twelve months. It's also the only good thing to come out of the Authority angle. Plus, it jump-started Goldust's withering career, gave us a chance to listen to Dusty Rhodes's insane ramblings, and gave Cody Rhodes something to do now that he has no mustache. The Shield on the other hand, gained more traction as a tag team and all in all just stayed relevant.

PS: This match is also the debut of Goldust's Darth Vader makeup.

Match of the Day - The Big Bad Booty Daddy makes short work out of Harvard Chris

Scott Steiner vs. Christopher Nowinski - Raw (2003)

Long before WWE gave us Cody Rhodes and his crushed face gimmick and Jennifer Hudson's Harvard grad husband, WWE gave us Christopher Nowinski who, mind you, already had all of those things. Including Jennifer Hudson.

That's a lie of course.

But hey, it gives this match a little more life...
