I thought I should review some PPVs considering I have so many and haven't really been bothered to do any thus far. I can't leave it all to Jim, so I decided to start today. With the Rumble approaching, what better PPV to review than a Rumble? This one is pretty classic and I found it lying around. First of all I would like to say that the PPV had a pretty cool atmosphere being at MSG. The fans were into the match and the Taxi thing is a contender for my favorite set ever.
Tazz vs Kurt Angle:
The PPV opens with Angle giving a promo. I loved Angle back then. He got a lot of heat and his dorky heel character was always so entertaining. This was basically a standard heel promo and how great he is, with a few customary shots at the new york nicks, but his delivery is great. He patronises his unnamed opponent, telling them to just come out and do their best, but unfortunately for him, the mystery opponent turns out to be Tazz making his WWF debut. A fairly quick match, with some brawling early on, including Angle suplexing Tazz on the outside. Angle has the advantage in the early going, but gets caught on the top rope and suplexed to the mat. Only the bottom rope saves him, but Tazz eventually manages to hit a series of impressive suplexes, including a T-Bone suplex, before locking in the Tazzmission. After choking Angle out, he is announced the winner, but is Angle still undefeated? Average opener and pretty cool debut.

The Hardyz are backstage and tell Terri that its too dangerous for her out there. Hardyz were terrible on the mic. They're actually a lot better now.
The Dudleyz vs The Hardyz – Tables Match
The Dudleyz come to the ring and cut a promo about how backward the New York fans are and how they cheer for the pretty boy Hardys. The Hardys soon make their entrance and this fun spotfest begins. The Dudleys get the early advantage with Bubba hitting his Bubba Bomb on jeff then getting a table. He tries to backdrop Jeff through it but Matt moves the table. Jeff hits a dive on Dvon on the outside as Matt sets up a table in the ring.The match has started very quickly and is already pretty much chaos. Matt avoids getting put through a table on the inside before Jeff runs the rail, only to get a table pushed into his face by Bubba. JR reminds us that both men on a team have to go through a table before the match is over. Yay more spots. I hate it when only 1 guy has to go through, such as the Evolution/Dudleyz match 4 years later. The Hardys try to double superplex Bubba through a table, but once again the table is moved. A ladder now comes into play, which probably isnt too surprising. Bubba finds himself on a table on the outside, with Matt at the top of a ladder and Jeff on the turnbuckle. The result is a fun Hardys double team spot which puts Bubba through the wood. Only Dvon to go. Another table is set up between the apron and the ring steps. Matt misses a legdrop attempt off the turnbuckle, crashing through it himself. Dvon falls back onto another table propped up diagonally against the barricade, and a second later Jeff is flying through the air, missing a senton attempt and crashing through it. JR reminds us that this doesn’t count, as the Hardys have to be put through the tables by the Dudleys, but Bubba powerbombsMatt through a table… I guess that does count. JR talks about the perverse enjoyment Bubba gets from tables… lol. That’s one guy from each team put through a table. I love how WWE change the rules to their own matches. At Survivor Series the following year they made out that once you are put through a table you are eliminated from the match altogether. The match now builds to its big finish, with brawling in the aisleway and Matt Hardy eventually laid out on top of a stack of 2 tables just in front of the entranceway. Bubba takes Jeff up into the crowd above the aisle, so we know there is a big spot coming here. ‘’Next one to go through a chair loses’’. Nice one JR

Matt manages to escape, and Jeff smashes Bubba in the head with a chair, causing him to fall and crash through the tables. Dvon is laid out on another table, allowing Hardy to hit a swanton from way up high for the win. Impressive spot and a highly entertaining spotfest, even if fairly short. Not really remembered due to the incredible TLC spectacles which followed….

Backstage Angle is being checked on by medics, and all he cares about is whether he won the match. Angle claims that if he was choked out, he is still undefeated despite Tazz being announced the winner, as the choke is illegal. Good point.
First Ever Miss Rumble Bikini Contest
Moolah, Tony Gorea, Slaughter, johnny V and classy freddie blassie come out to judge the miss rumble bikini contest. >_> Some guy in the crowd has a 'TOM IS GAY' sign. Get fucked!
The King takes the mic and is his usual self when there are divas around. Ivory, Terri, Jacqueline, b.b, luna and the kat make their entrances. Ivory is ‘reluctant’ to show her body. I don’t know why, its better than her face. Segment is pretty much your typical eye candy segment, although I can’t help but think the divas are way hotter nowadays than they were here. Terri’s swimsuit is impressive though..
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. and the King makes it somewhat entertaining, although his act gets old. The Kat is wearing nothing but bubblewrap but meh, I was never into her. Oh joy, Mae Young comes out and declares herself an entrant. A timely reminder of just how long they’ve been doing this shit. Even a decade ago they were having Mae Young ruin eye candy segments, and they STILL think its funny now. Typical of WWE doing things to death. Mae Young provided one of the more disturbing images on PPV over the years, and somehow wins it. >_> Pointless segment but meh.
The Coach is at WWF New York… good for him >_>
Backstage Jericho and Chyna have an argument about the IC title, and Hebner takes their belt, saying the match is up next and they will find out who the undisputed champ is. I always thought it was pretty fucking dumb that Chyna got involved in matches with guys, and even held the IC title. Terrible idea. JR explains that her and Jericho hold the title simultaneously. This came after a double pin….Kinda ridiculous but I guess this match will decide it.
Chris Jericho vs Chyna vs Hardcore Holly – Intercontinental Title
Hardcore Holly and Chyna enter the ring, before Jericho comes out and takes the mic. WELCOME TO… MADISON…SQUARE….JERICHO! >_> Short and entertaining promo about the celebration when he wins the title. Jericho gets the early advantage before a slapfest ensues, with Jericho and Holly slapping each other, before both get owned by Chyna…who then gets thrown over the top leaving Jericho and Holly to have a half way decent exchange. Impressive dropkick by Holly. Flying forearm gets a 2 count for Jericho before the two exchange chops. Holly finds himself trapped in the walls of Jericho, but Chyna gets in to break it up and the crowd arnt happy! Chyna disposes of Holly before Jericho hits her with a kick to the gut. A baseball slide by Chyna nails Holly, and she goes outside to fight with him. Jerichos springboard crossbody takes out Holly, then back in the ring Chyna hits her silly cartwheel move and a DDT on Jericho for a 2 count. Chyna gets knocked to the outside, and Holly goes to hit her with a steel chair before Jericho buys her some time, and Chyna is able to counter with a dropkick. Back inside, both Chyna and Jericho come off the top rope with pretty shitty looking splashes, and almost end up double pinning Holly… which wouldn’t solve anything. They both get off at 2, and JR mistakenly suggests he kicked out. Chyna low blows Jericho and hits the worst pedigree ever on Holly, but he kicks out. Jericho hits a cross body on Chyna and goes to superplex Holly, but Chyna knocks him down so he lands in an uncompromising position on the top turnbuckle. Chyna manages to hit the suplerplex, but again Holly kicks out. With the ref busy with Jericho, Chyna hits Holly with a chair, and goes for Jericho’s Walls of Jericho. Jericho however hits her with a bulldog from behind, then hits his patented lionsault to become the UNDISPUTED Intercontinental Champion. This was a decent triple threat, but I wasn’t a fan of the whole angle and Chyna brought it down a bit imo. Jericho could have won it better fashion.

Rock promo is up next. This should be good. ‘’Finally, The Rock has come back to New York City’’. A young Michael Cole looks laughable in his tux. The Rock cuts a pretty funny promo, identifying Crash Holly and Headbanger Mosh as the two biggest obstacles which could prevent him from winning the Rumble. Cole mentions Show, and Rock becomes slightly more serious (after telling Cole to drink a nice big glass of shut up juice lol). The Rock wipes his ass with what the Big Show thinks! Rock hopes he and Show are the last two men in the ring…. But that will never happen…..he also guaran-damn-tees victory….surely not.
The New Age Outlaws vs The Acolytes – WWF Tag Team Titles
A video package is shown highlighting this feud. I was never into the Outlaws despite their overness. The Acolytes were pretty entertaining at times. The Outlaws come out and cut a typical promo with their usual catchphrases, and the match gets underway. The Acolytes dominate early on, with Bradshaw using his power advantage to dominate both Outlaws. Bradshaw hits the clothesline from hell on Mr. Ass, then Farooq hits the spinebuster on Road Dogg. When he goes for the cover, Mr. Ass pulls the ref out of the ring. How did he recover from the Clothesline From Hell that quick? >_>. Bradshaw attacks Mr. Ass but inadvertently knocks down the ref at the same time. The Acolytes hit their double power bomb on Road Dogg, but X-Pac comes out of nowhere to hit a spinning heel kick on Bradshaw. He gets a spinebuster by Farooq, but as Farooq tries to dispose of him, Mr. Ass sneaks in to hit the Fame Asser on Bradshaw and steal the victory. A typical attitude era match. Very short and very chaotic with a run in and dirty finish. >_>

Up next is the much anticipated Street Fight between Triple H and Cactus Jack, with a video package shown highlighting the feud, including Foley getting fired and Triple H mocking him. Triple H was forced to reinstate him when all the superstars threatened to walk out, and he agrees to face Foley at the Rumble. The Pedigree through the announce table was pretty brutal. They show the classic promo when Foley reveals that he it is not Mankind but Cactus Jack who is going to face Triple H at the Rumble. Nice video package.
Triple H vs Cactus Jack – WWF Title
Cactus Jack’s music hits and he gets a big pop. This match just has a certain atmosphere about it, and you can tell the fans are anticipating something big about to take place. It is the sort of atmosphere which we get all too rarely in modern day WWE: The atmosphere created by a very well done feud. Triple H and Steph come down the aisle. Triple H used to have awesome music, but this was back when he was good. >_> Epic staredown to start it off. There is a war of words between the two before the verbal attacks soon turn to punches, with Triple H getting the upper hand before the first knock down by Cactus Jack. Cactus with the Foley rights in the corner. Triple H slides out of the ring and Foley hits his patented neckbreaker on the floor. Trips attempts to crawl back in the ring but gets a leg drop for his troubles, as JR puts over how unorthodox Cactus Jack is compard to Mankind. I personally loved the way they made this distinction between the different personas of Foley, with Cactus being the sadistic one. Trips hits Cactus between the eyes with the ring bell, and it doesn’t seem to have too much effect as Cactus is up after a few seconds. Trips has a steel chair and dares Foley to get in the ring. He obliges and gets smacked in the head with the chair, as JR reminds us of the I Quit match with the Rock one year earlier. Foley gets up fairly quickly again and lays into Triple H. He places the chair across Triple H’s face and hits a leg drop. I have heard people complain about underselling in this match. I can see their point, but I think it worked well as we knew from very early on that it was going to take something big to beat Cactus Jack. He was going on determination more than anything, but I guess he could have sold the chairshots a little more.
They brawl to the outside and Triple H gets backdropped over the barricade into the ‘sea of humanity’ at ringside. They continue to brawl through the fans until they come out in the aisleway and Trips gets thrown into a pile of bricks. Cactus sets up some wooden pallets in the aisle, and suplexes Triple H right onto them. I remember from Foley’s dvd, when both men were interviewed about this match, Triple H talked about the injury he suffered from this spot, as a chard of wood stabbed him in the calf and basically put a hole in his leg, which resulted in considerable blood loss. Cactus hits him with a trashcan and whips him into the steel wall. I like how the whole angle was about Foley’s transformation from Mankind to Cactus Jack, yet JR still calls him Mankind frequently.

Cactus tries to get Trips back to the ring but Trips hits a backdrop through a trashcan on the outside. The brawling continues and Cactus hits his running knee on Triple H against the ring steps. Cactus rolls Triple H back in the ring and goes underneath the ring looking for some sort of weapon. What could it be? OMG IT’S THE BARBED WIRE 2X4
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.. Hebner pleads with Cactus not to use the barbed wire, which buys Trips enough time to recover, hit the low blow and pick up the 2x4 himself, hitting him in the abdomen and the back, partially unravelling the barbed wire. He goes to hit Cactus in the face but he counters, and hits a low blow using the 2x4 followed by his double arm DDT. The ref gets rid of the 2x4 then gets back in the ring to make the count, but the DDT gets a 2 count only. Now Cactus starts to lose his head as he attacks the spanish announcers in search of the barbed wire 2x4. This is certainly a far cry from the ‘do no wrong, goody goody faces’ of today. Trips inadvertently knocks down the ref and gets hit in the face with the barbed wire! Cactus then turns the 2x4 upside down and drops the barbed wire in Triple H’s face again in a cool looking spot, as JR pleads with him not to go this far. Trips is now BUSTED WIDE OPEN. Cactus hits him one more time then starts grating the barbed wire in his face. Brutal. Foley continues to beat on Trips on the outside, and his face is now a crimson mask. He goes for a piledriver on top of the announce table, but Triple H backdrops him onto the same table. The table doesn’t give, just breaks slightly as Triple H falls onto it.
Trips goes for the pedigree in the ring but gets countered and thrown into the turnbuckle, before being bulldogged onto the barbed wire 2x4. 2 count only. Cactus hits his classic runnign clothesline to the outside. Cactus runs at Trips but gets hip locked into steps, then whipped into them knees first. Both classic Foley spots which must have taken their toll on his body over the years. Triple H begins to go to work on his legs with some chop blocks, then once again gains control of the barbed wire 2x4, using it on Cactus’s legs. Trips staggers over to Finkel and grabs some mystery object, which turns out to be handcuffs. Despite Foley’s defences, he manages to cuff him in a scene reminiscent of the I Quit match one year earlier between Foley and Rock. Trips brings in the ring steps but Foley defends himself in the only way he can, with a drop toe hold, sending Triple H’s already ravaged face into the steps. He then follows up with a low blow and shows his insanity and sadism by biting Triple H’s ear. Trips eventually regains control and breaks a chair over Cactus Jack’s back. Foley tries to escape and lures Triple H down the aisle towards the entrance, screaming at Trips to hit him again. Triple H goes to do so but the Rock appears out of nowhere to level Trips with a steel chair. Ironic considering what Rock did to Foley a year earlier. A police officer uncuffs Cactus and the fightback begins as Foley takes Trips to the other announce table, hitting his piledriver, but again, the table doesn’t give. >_>. With Trips back in the ring, Foley goes under the ring to get another one of his toys….thumbtacks. Made famous in the WWF by their use in the Hell in a Cell against Taker. Steph gets on the apron and Cactus gets backdropped into the tacks. Ouch. Trips hits the pedigree and surely its over….1…2…NO! Cactus kicks out, much to the shock of JR and King. The crowd break into a loud Foley chant, but a second pedigree on the tacks ends the match. A close up of Foley’s face is shown and you can see the tacks in his head. Definitely one of my favorite finishes and one of my favorite matches, so I will probably overrate this in most people’s eyes. Triple H retains the title, despite being in serious need of medical attention. Foley wasn’t done though, as he brought Trips back to the ring and hit him once more with the barbed wire, much to the horror of Steph.
27 mins 4 ½ stars The Royal Rumble Match~!
Fink explains the rules even though everybody knows them. Here comes D’Lo Brown for entrant #1, and for the next 90 seconds he will be facing off against …. Grandmaster Sexay~! I actually miss this guy.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Too Cool were entertaining and Grandmaster was pretty funny. Dropkick by Sexay. D’Lo Brown powerbomb countered into a hurricanrana. That bastard with the ‘Tom Is Gay’ sign is still showing it in full view of the camera.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. #2 is Headbanger Mosh, who goes right after Sexay and double teams him with D’Lo. Kaientai runs out and attack them, despite not being in the Rumble, but they are soon disposed of. Here comes Christian as entrant #4 and he goes right after Mosh. Despite the best efforts of these 4, nobody is eliminated by the time the 5th entrant comes in…. RIKISHI! He wastes no time in eliminating Mosh, then throws Christian out too after a belly to belly suplex. D’Lo hits the neckbreaker to put out Rikishi’s fire, but Rikishi gets to his feet and hits a modified piledriver on D’Lo, before throwing him out too. Rikishi clears house~! Him and Grandmaster are left in the ring together, but here comes entrant #6….SCOTTY 2 HOTTY! I marked when the Too Cool music came on for a 3rd time.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. They put on the shades and we get a special Too Cool dance in the middle of the Royal Rumble. Scotty does the Worm. Fun stuff, but Rikishi then double clotheslines his two buddies and throws them over the top~! Rikishi has eliminated like 5 guys so far lol. Blackman in at #7… the perfect way too ‘serious up’ a Rumble. He soon gets eliminated though… 6 eliminations for Rikishi. Kane has the record and that was only 11, the following year. The countdown begins for the next entrant, and its Viscera in at #8. I think Rikishi may have met his match. Viscera is fucking huge even compared to Rikishi, and the two exhange blows before Vis hits HUGE belly to belly suplex and an even bigger leg drop on Rikishi. Big splash in the corner by Vis… yes, everything he does is big. He goes for a second but runs into the buckle and gets hit by a series of kicks by Rikishi and eliminated! How many guys is Rikishi going to get rid of here? #9 is The Big Bossman, looking like he means business. He’s smart though and takes his time getting in the ring. He waits on the outside as he seems reluctant to face Rikishi one on one. Maybe he doesn’t mean business. >_>. He manages to wait out the full 90 seconds, and here comes Test, who opens up on Bossman before getting whipped into the ring post. The brawl continues on the outside before all 3 guys start to brawl in the ring. Low blows to both Bossman and Rikishi.
The Bulldog is in at #11, which means half the guys in the ring are no longer with us =/, and the other two are just no longer with the company. #12 is Gangrel. I used to love this guy.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Cool gimmick. Kaientai once again interfere in the match and get thrown out like the jobbers they are, allowing the 5 men in the ring (Rikishi, Test, Bossman, Gangrel and Bulldog) to continue to fight it out. There replay shows Taka hitting his head on the floor in comical fashion when he got thrown out of the ring, and King explains that they are pissed at missing out on a chance to compete in the match. #13 is Edge. Mtfo! He almost gets eliminated immediately by Bulldog but gets the thumb to the eye in. Rikishi hits the banzai drop on Bossman. Entrant #14 is Bob Backlund…lol. First surprise entrant of the night. All 6 guys team up to get Rikishi’s fat ass out of the ring, then Bossman and Bulldog start double teaming Backlund… for some reason.
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.. Have mercy guys. Countdown begins… and here comes #15, the newly crowned Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho! He eliminates Backlund and goes to work on Edge. Half way there in terms of entrants. I like it when guys compete in the Rumble who have already been in matches earlier in the night. #16 is Crash Holly. Kinda depressing that 3 of these guys are dead. This is only 9 years ago. The countdown starts once again. Wow 90 seconds goes by incredibly fast when you are watching the Rumble. #17 is Chyna. I already said how I hated Chyna being involved in male matches, so obviously I don’t approve of this. She goes to work on Jericho who defeated her earlier, and suplexes him out. Jericho eliminated by a girl… kinda. >_> Bossman knocks Chyna off the apron so she too is eliminated. Here comes #18, Faarooq. The Mean Street Posse come out and attack him once he gets in the ring, allowing the Bossman to eliminate Faarooq. Why so many interferences in this Rumble? Lol. #19 is Road Dogg. Insane how over the New Age Outlaws were, with the fans singing along to the music. I guess everybody was more over back then though, back when WWF/E actually made lower and midcard guys seem important. Everybody has more personality back then. #20 is Al Snow! Snow goes to work on Crash as Road Dogg throws out Bulldog.
#21 is Val Venis lol. So many comedy characters. Venis comes out and attacks Test. The ring is starting to fill up now, and Funaki is back once again, and for a third time, gets thrown over the ropes. Take isn’t there as he has been taken to the hospital. Here comes entrant #22: Prince Albert. Edge gets backdropped over the top by Val. #23 is Hardcore Holly. Match is kinda boring at times as we get the typical Royal Rumble situation of guys in the corner trying to avoid elimination, and others attempting to get people over the ropes without success. Quite a lot of guys in the ring but a big superstar entrance is needed to liven things up. Mainly jobbers so far. Maybe this will be that superstar? #24: The Rock. I honestly didn’t know Rocky was coming out next
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.. Impeccible timing by WWF. He eliminates Bossman with ease, then gets double teamed. #25 is Mr. Ass, so both members of the New Age Outlaws are in the match. He goes to work on Rock. Rock disposes of Crash after a DDT. Road Dogg continues his attempts to avoid elimination by clutching onto the bottom rope. Who is going to be #26? WEEEEE-EEE-EEELL. WELL IT’S THE BIG SHOW!! Things should get interesting now. Show gets in and dominates. He goes for The Rock as soon as he can, after eliminating Test and Gangrel. Impressive slam on Hardcore Holly, and here comes the second Acolyte at #27: Bradshaw. The Mean Street Posse are out again to take care of Bradshaw, but they all get pwnt. The Outlaws sneak up behind Bradshaw and eliminate him, leading to a brawl between the Acolytes and the Posse outside. #28: Kane. Mtfo! I fucking loved Kane back when he had the mask. I don’t know what it was about him, just the mystery I guess, and his epic look. He has Tori with him. He eliminates Val fairly quickly, and King claims Kane is his new favorite. Big Show lifts Mr Ass above his head then slams him down. I have to wonder why he doesn’t just throw people over the top if he’s that strong. >_> #29 is the Godfather! Huge pop for the hoes! I bet their mothers are proud of them. Kane eliminates Bossman while Godfather is making his entrance, and then Funaki interferes yet again. I lol’d when King called him Chinese instead of Japanese for about the 10th time. #30 better be someone good… oh yeah it’s X-Pac. >_>. Everyone has entered now, and if I was watching this live, I would be rooting for Kane. Show eliminates The Godfather. Rock eliminates Al Snow. Mr. Ass eliminates the Road Dogg, then Kane eliminates Mr. Ass. The Outlaws drag Kane under the ropes and attack him on the outside, and Rock eliminates X-Pac. It is down to Rock and Show, but Kane is still in it as he didn’t go over the top, but wait a minute, the ref didn’t see X-Pac eliminated~! X-Pac’s landing was pretty nasty. So here we are. Hardly the most inspiring final four I have ever seen in a Rumble: Rock, Show, Kane and X-Pac. They couldn’t have made it more obvious that Rock and Show would be the final two, even before the match. Kane slams Show impressively but is then eliminated by a man who shouldn’t even be in the match as X-Pac hits the spinning heel kick. X-Pac is eliminated by Show and here is the epic showdown between Rock and Show! People’s Elbow by the Rock, who goes to eliminate Show but falls victim to a huge chokeslam. Big Show with the Rock on his shoulder, toying with him. He picks a side, goes to eliminate the Rock, but Rock grabs on and the Big Show tumbles over the top rope to the outside! Rock cuts a promo about going to Wrestlemania but the pissed off sore loser The Big Show comes back in the ring and throws him out.

Winner of the 2000 Royal Rumble: The Rock
--------------------------
The Verdict:
My main problem with this PPV is the Rumble match itself. Usually the Rumble match is by far the most enjoyable thing on the card, but to me this one was just disappointing. I guess it shows that the WWE roster around this time was not as impressive as I thought it was, at least until guys like Jericho, Angle, Benoit started to come into their own and Undertaker and Austin returned from injury. The absence of those two guys really hurt the match, as I consider this Rumble to be the opposite of star studded. Mainly just jobbers, and the final two was way too obvious after the Rock/Show stuff and Rock’s promo on him earlier in the night. There was also a lack of surprises and surprises entrants in the match, and I also don’t like the way the whole Rock/Show showdown wasn’t significant as both men were in the Wrestlemania main event anyway. Kind of ruined the whole point of the Rumble. I have seen way better Rumble matches than this. That said, the other matches saved the PPV from being a disappointment, most notably the epic Street Fight which I consider a great match and one of the best brawls of all time. Aside from that, the tables match was a fun spotfest and the IC title match was decent. Not enough actual matches on the card considering two of them only went 2-3 mins. The Rumble is a terrible time to have a bikini contest wasting time considering so much of the show is taken up by the Rumble match itself. Hardly a great PPV, but certainly a good one, mainly due to the greatness of Cactus Jack vs Triple H. If I had bought the PPV live, I would be very satisfied with my purchase due to the greatness of that match, but overall I can’t give it too high of a rating.
