THERE are some wrestling matches you never forget.
It might be because of one big stunt, a passing of the torch moment or simply that the bout was just so damn good from start to finish.
D-Generation X v Rated RKO at WWE's New Year's Revolution PPV will always stick in our heads for another reason - the guts of Triple H.
If any regular person tore a quadriceps tendon they would barely even be able to get to the phone to call a doctor, let alone finish a wrestling match in front of thousands of fans.
But that is exactly what Triple H did - battling through what must have been unbearable pain for five minutes to finish his bout.
Ironically it came six years to the day since he returned from an eight-month lay-off with an identical injury, and it was initially feared this one may end his career.
The good news is that although The Game will miss a lot of action including WrestleMania, he should be back in time for August's SummerSlam.
Here is the full run-down on his injury from the WWE's website: "Following an MRI with Dr James Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama on Monday, Triple H was diagnosed with a ruptured quadriceps tendon.
"He emerged from quadriceps surgery at approximately 7:30pm on Tuesday. Dr Andrews reports that the surgery went well with no complications.
"The operation confirmed that the quadriceps tendon was completely torn off the bone and kneecap in his right leg, but was otherwise in good condition. The tendon was reattached to the patella.
"The Cerebral Assassin was said to be in good spirits all day and looking forward to the recovery process. He told many that he was not nervous about the surgery because he was confident in Dr. Andrews' abilities.
"According to Dr. Andrews, Triple H will need four to six months of recovery before returning to in-ring action. The current prognosis is that The Game should be walking again in six weeks."
Yes, it will take the man six weeks just to walk, yet he still carried on with his match.
Whether that is a good example to set to young wrestlers is debatable. Wade Keller, one of America's leading grappling experts, blasted Hunter for putting himself and his opponents in danger.
But we say Triple H should be applauded for doggedly sticking to the golden rule of all entertainment - that the show must go on.
The match itself was on its way to setting a marker for the best bout of 2007 before the quad tear.
Both teams were super-over with the Kansas crowd and they were using the old school psychology of D-Generation X having the upper hand until heels Edge and Orton found a way to isolate one of them.
It was around the 15-minute mark, when a beaten down Shawn Michaels made the hot tag to Triple H, that tragedy struck.
Wrestlers always say it is not the fall from the top of the cage that will put you out of action but something simple.
And so it was for Hunter who re-tore his quad giving Orton a spinebuster.
From there, you could see the pain in Triple H's eyes every time he tried to do a move or get to his feet.
Luckily the others stepped up and saved the match, Orton bleeding everywhere and Michaels going mad with a chair to add the excitement the injury took away.
Hunter even managed to hit his Pedigree finisher on Edge on one of the commentator's table, although it didn't break, with Shawn then managing to smash the other by elbow dropping Randy through it.
The match then just ended with fans confused as to who had won, although it was very clear which team had been buried.
The WWE website tells us: "While the official word on the result was a no contest, the carnage around the ring and car-crash like imagery made it very clear that the battle, and maybe the war was won by D-Generation X."
Triple H's injury throws up another interesting question - who will face Raw champion John Cena at WrestleMania.
Cena retained his title in a great match against Umaga and we would like to see the Samoan Bulldozer take what was thought to be Triple H's place at Mania.
This feud has been excellent and the match was a great throwback to the days of good guys against evil monsters. Umaga dominated with powerful moves, but John eventually ended the Samoan's winning streak with a roll-up.
That the victory came out of nowhere, with Cena never managing to once FU his foe, leaves the door open for Umaga to power through the Royal Rumble and win a title shot.
The other strong match on the show was the opening cage bout between Jeff Hardy and Johnny Nitro.
Jeff and Johnny always work well together and the ending to this one was as inventive as they come - Hardy pushing the door open as Nitro was escaping, leaving Johnny crotched on the door as he retained his intercontinental title.
The rest of the matches just seemed like filler. Kenny's third straight victory over Ric Flair and Cryme Tyme's tag turmoil victory worked well in the context of current storylines.
The women's title match and Carlito v Chris Masters, though, were more painful to watch than a man tearing his quad on live television.
Overall New Year's Revolution was a good wrestling show, which bodes well for the new year.
For an old-school main event and the even older-school fortitude shown by Triple H - we give it 8 out of 10.
