Who do you think was the best wrestler in each of these categories in the year 2000 (in WWF):

1.Which wrestler WRESTLED the best. Name matches that prove why this wrestler wrestled the best out of the whole WWF roster in 2000-

2.which wrestler had the best mic skills-

1. Triple H. He had classic matches with Foley, Austin, and The Rock including the 60-minute Iron Man match.

2. The Rock. He was at his peak around 2000.

Umm.. I think I was talking about 2001 with HHH and Austin. Sorry lol

1. I'd say Angle as he put on good matches with Tazz, Benoit & Jercho, The Rock, 6 -way HIAC at Armageddon and won KOTR. Plus he was the Euro-Continental Champ.

2. Easily The Rock...I think this was the year in which he came up with something new every 4 months to add to his growing list of catchphrases

Tyler Durden

Hard to tell who wrestled the best, if you look at the PPV matches for that year, I enjoyed all of these -

Backlash
Malenko -vs- Scotty (extremely under rated LH Title match)

Judgment Day

Rock -vs- Hunter, Iron Man match with HBK (looking pale and "well" as ref)

Fully Loaded
Jericho -vs- Hunter, last man standing
Benoit -vs- Rock, title match

Summerslam
Tazz -vs- Lawler
Shane -vs- Blackman, hardcore match
Benoit -vs- Jericho
Hardys, Dudleys, E&C, tlc 1

Unforgiven

Triple H -vs- Benoit
Rock -vs- Angle (Angles 1st World Title)

Armageddon
Angle, Taker, Rikishi, Rock, Austin, Hunter (HiAC)

Looking at all those, I remember enjoying a lot of what I was seeing. I would probably say that Hunter would get my vote as best wrestler, but the vote would be "qualified". He was still fresh in the main event scene at that time, and was bumping like a loon all year long. He also was in some great storylines with retiring Mick, feuding with Jericho and Benoit and with the undercurrent of the Angle feud running throughout it. Where I would qualify my choice is by saying that, if you can't look incredible in feuds (most of which were "new") with Foley, Rock, Jericho, Benoit and Angle, you would surely count as a wrestling retard. He positioned himself all year (pretty much) against the stellar workers of his generation and he came out looking great.

With the crowd so desperate to get behind him after Summerslam (courtesy of the Angle/Steph triangle) it was a shame that things went off the cliff at the end of the year for him when he got involved in the whole "who tried to kill Austin" mess. Although even that had been recovered a few months later.

Special mention should also (for me) be given to the incredible physical efforts of E&C, Hardy's and Dudley's who had countless great matches in any combination of four man or six man groups.

So far as "best on mic" for the year. Harder to remember specific Raw efforts, but I enjoyed Angle and Jericho a lot this year (Jericho bloomed after getting rid of the whole Chyna "angle"). E&C were fantastic too, but I'd probably edge (geddit) them out in favour of The Rock.
