About 10 years ago at one of the "In Your House" PPV's, they had HBK and Diesel (the WWF and IC champs at the time) vs the tag champs (I want to say Owen and Bulldog, or Owen and Yoko, but I'm not entirely sure) with every title on the line. The match stipulation was whoever got pinned lost their title to the person who pinned him. HBK and Diesel won the match, but it was "overturned' on some sort of a technicality.
Assuming all the title holders were right, do you think it would be a good idea to have this kind of a match again?

Generally no, since I think all the titles should be kept apart. Clear divisions are needed in the WWE. I don't want to see singles wrestlers holding the tag titles and I don't want to see one guy holding several belts.

Never heard of that.
In 'Smackdown; Shut Your Mouth' theres a match if your the WWE Champion you will team up with the IC Champion and both the WWE and IC title will be defended in a Tag Match against the #1 contenders for each title.

The title should always be on the line. In tag matches, in non-title matches always. Just like when Ol Dave Arquette won it way back in the old days of the force.

I seem to remember the titles being on the line with Austin/HHH vs. Jericho/Benoit, when HHH tore his quad on the pedigree-onna-table spot.
Ring a bell?

Of course who could forget Austin and HHH as the "Two-Man Power Trip", which is a great name for a tag team, IMO. Too bad Trips quad injury stopped that storyline short.

I remember channeling JR and yelling 'No, no!!' when they beat down Matt Hardy, and then proceeded to lay in the chair shots when Lita tried to shield him with her body.  The first major angle I remember from watching wrestling was the start of the Power Trip, so it holds a special place in my heart. Plus, Austin's heel music freakin' rocked. |

Yeah...that bizzare Austin theme was really cool...I miss that...it always sounded like the type music they'd give Sid or something.

Goddamn my memory is bad. I've been watching wrestling since 93 and I barely remember Austin and HHH together.

The Two Man Power Trip was great. It was wierd seeing Matt Hardy play Robert Gibson in those matches. Jeff played a more pathetic Ricky Morton, getting his ass handed to him by SCSA and HHH in a horrific fashion. HHH and SCSA actually sold like crazy for Matt, though. As a Matt mark I was just in shock. It's wierd that people remember Jeff beating HHH for the IC title as the pinnacle of that feud, but forget he was getting squashed and Matt came out and laid out HHH, setting him up for the Swanton. It really was unfortunate for everyone that HHH got hurt when he did, but especially for Matt. It completely ruined his momentum. Two months after handling HHH and Austin quite well he was portrayed as overly nervous in a title match against Austin. Sure, HHH's injury really hurt Y2J's and Benoit's momentum as well, but it had Matt take 5 steps back.
