The disqualification-means-loss stipulation from the main event of Fully Loaded 2000 was genius. Basically, if Rock was disqualified from the match against Benoit not only would he lose the match, but he would lose the title. The storyline was that as commissioner, Foley was so concerned that the Rock and Benoit just wanted to beat the hell out of each other that he enforced this law.
It was a masterstroke, and opened up new avenues for screwjobs. For example, Benoit pretending that the Rock had hit him with a chair and forcing Hebner to dq him. What an ultimate heel tactic!
This should be used more often. Perhaps not for the JBL and Batista match at Summerslam, because it'd mean having to watch the pair actually pull off a strong technical match - which would be appauling.
