Ambrose had lined the ring with various weapons including sticks, a strait-jacket and a fire extinguisher but it was two other weapons the match will be remembered for.

He first attacked Jericho with nunchucks, leaving his rival in agony but it was the finale that really sticks in the memory.

Ambrose lined the corner of the ring with a bag full of thumb tacks, picked up Jericho and slammed him on top of them.

Dozens of the metal tacks instantly embedded into Y2J's skin, leaving him screaming out in pain.
