WWE WrestleMania 2000 (2000)

Sadly Over-hyped

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

1. Godfather/D Lo Brown Vs. Big Boss Man/Bull Buchanan - I was surprised for clean victory of heels. (BB,BBB) 7/10 2. Battle Royal Hardcore Championship: Tazz, Viscera, Mean Street Posse, Champ-Crash, Hardcore Holly, Kai en Tai, Head Bangers, Acolytes - There were a lot of champions in that bout incl. Mean Street Posse - lol. My tip was for Acolytes, but then unclearly Hardcore Holly Won that in 15th minute. 6.5/10 3. Al Snow/Steve Blackman Vs. T&A - Test and Albert won, Debut of Thrish Stratus. 7/10 4. Ladder Match: Dudley Boys Vs. Edge/Christian Vs. Champs-Hardy Boyz - A lot of breathtaking action, I remember Jeff's Senton Bomb through the table outside the ring :-O . Dudley deserved that, but E+CH won. 10/10 5. CatFight: The Kat Vs. Terri - I don't like those things, that incl."old very funny silly granma" Mae Young. That always want to get naked. Terri won in unclean way and was there a nice shot on her a$$ 4/10 6. The Radicalz Vs. Chyna/Too Cool - Eddie job to Chyna, OK, i'm not into that "family entertainment"stuff. 6/10 7. Rikishi/Kane Vs. X-Pac/Road Dogg 6/10 8. Fatal 4 way WWF World Heavyweight Title Match: Mick Foley Vs. Big Show Vs. The Rock Vs. Champ-Triple H - I was sad, that Foley was out like 3rd. But I laugh hard, when Triple H won. 8.5/10

I use to always watch this on VHS as a little kid, constantly. Now that I thin about this PPV, it's good for memories of the Attitude Era. What was unique about this PPV was that there was no one-on-one singles matches. I enjoyed just about every single match.D'lo Brown & Godfather vs Bossman & Buchanan This was a pretty good match plus a good performance from Ice-T. 3/5Hardcore Battle Royal Great nonstop hardcore action! 5/5Al Snow & Blackman vs Test & Albert Good filler match but not the best match on the show 2/5Edge & Christian vs Hardy Boyz vs Dudley Boyz Personally, my favorite match in the whole PPV and these 6 Wrestlemania rookies did a great job putting on a fantastic Ladder match. 5/5Terri vs The Kat Could've been better 1/5Radiculz vs Chyna & Too Cool Great 6-person tag match. 4/5Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho Yet another match with all Wrestlemania rookies and they put on a fantastic nonstop action match. 5/5Rikishi & Kane vs Road Dogg & X-Pac Pretty easy going match, it was more entertaining than good 3/5The Rock vs Mick Foley vs Triple H vs Big Show Almost a whole hour of amazing action and wrestling! 5/5

Wrestlemania 2000 was quite a good PPV. It had the WM feel to it but some matches were just thrown together to pad the event out. The main event was disappointing, but it had a shock outcome.Results from the PPV: - Big Bossman and Bull Buchanan defeated The Godfather and D'Lo Brown in a boring match.Hardcore Holly won the Hardcore title in a Battle Royal which also consisted of Pete Gas, Rodney, Joey Abs, Crash Holly, The APA, Viscera, Funaki, Taka Michinoku, Tazz and The Headbangers. Actually Crash was originally going to retain the title but Holly won it by mistake when the time limit ran out! - Test and Albert downed Al Snow and Steve Blackman in a poor match.Edge and Christian defeated The Dudley Boyz and The Hardy Boyz in a fantastic TLC match to win the WWF Tag Team titles.(Ref Val Venis) Terri defeated The Kat.Too Cool and Chyna defeated Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn.Chris Benoit defeated Chris Jericho to win the Intercontinental Championship. Kurt Angle lost the belt.Chris Jericho pinned Chris Benoit to win the European Championship. Overall this match was disappointing. Again Angle lost the belt.Rikishi and Kane defeated Road Dogg and X-Pac.Triple H defeated The Rock, Mick Foley and Big Show to retain the WWF Championship. This was a disappointing match, but Triple H was the only heel to retain the title at a WM, so the fans were shocked that Rock didn't win.Overall Grade - B+

So Tradition dies at WrestleMania 2000. So What! It makes for one hell of a shock, and a damn good rental or keeper! Don't know what I mean?? Well rent the tape!!!And lest I forget about the 3-Way LADDER MATCH!!!!! A Classic In every sense of the word.A (One bad match stops this from getting a +)
