Summary: Summerslam 2000
Review: Summerslam was one of the best Summerslam's in quite some time.

Wow, this ppv was incredible. The last classic WWF ppv before the WWF acquired WCW and ECW. This one had it all.

The ppv features the first Tables, ladders and chairs match, the appearence of the pretty Kat before she was released by the WWF, another return of the Kane vs. Undertaker rivalry,
a rare match with Jerry Lawler and a triple threat match for the WWF championship. Whew!!!

Every match was great and hard fought especially that classic TLC that will stand the test of time as one of the best matches ever with the Hardy, Edge and Christain and the Dudley
Boys.

First match was Right to Censor against Too Cool and Rikishi. A pretty good match, with the former ho's of the Goodfather involved. Overall a decent match.

Second Road Dog vs. X-PAC. The beginning of the end for DX as we know it. Road Dog and X-PAC's days in the WWF after this would be numbered and both do a pretty good show.

Third match.

Chyna and Eddie Guerrero vs. Val Venis and Trish Stratus. One of the first matches with Trish Stratus formerly a valet for Test and Albert. Trish doesn't do much and it's obvious she is
no match for Chyna, but Trish had massive sex appeal despite her limited wrestling talent and that WWF was able to cut her slack for this.

Val Venis has to defend his Intercontinendtal Title against two opponents in this match which was unfair, the outcome is obvious.

Fourth Match

Classic Hardcore match with Shane McMahon vs. Steve Blackman. Wow, one of the best hardcore matches in history. A 10 out of 10. Blackman was tough one of the underrated wrestlers in the WWF. Not too much personality but a hard worker. Shane could wrestle and fight despite the fact that he cheated with Edge and Christain's help to get the title. Blackman puts up a superman human effort hear.

A must see match.

Fifth match

Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho.

The early part of this rivalry leading to Royal Rumble 2001.
Chris Benoit is the best technical wrestler in the WWE today.
He finally won the World Heavyweight Title in 2004 after
four tough years in the WWF. Jericho in the next year would
be the first Undisputed Champion. The contest the two put
is a classic.


The Kat vs. Terri Runnels in a stinkface match. LOL

The Kat is one of the prettiest divas in the WWF, the WWF
though was heading in a new direction with younger stars like
Trish Stratus and Molly Holly. She and Terri put one hot
match for us to remember.

Tables , Ladders and Chairs match oh my!!

Famous TLC Edge and Christian vs. The Hardy's vs. Dudleys for the Tag Team Titles.

The Tag Team titles are suspended in the air while all three teams beat the hell out of each other and use the ladders and tables to win.

WWF Championship

The Rock vs. Triple H vs. Kurt Angle.

This was when Triple H was married to Stephanie McMahon and
began the McMahon-Helmsley era which is ironic because they
are now married in real life.

Great match though Kurt Angle gets knocked out of the competition early the Rock, and Triple H give us a great show,
where anyone could have won.

A great Summerslam

Summary: SUMMERSLAM 2000!!
Review: This is #25 out of 130 greatest WWE DVD's. This PPV holds the classic first ever TLC and a Triple Threat Match for the WWF Title.

Hardy Boyz vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Edge & Christian is an awesome match that was brutal and it was the first of it's kind. Edge & Christian steal the tag titles away from the Hardyz.

Kurt Angle vs. Triple H vs. The Rock was a great Triple Threat Match and the real issue was between HHH & Angle but still it was a great match with The Rock retaining his belt.

This DVD overall is a classic and it is a must have for the TLC alone. There are some other pretty decent matches on this card.

Summary: The TLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Rikishi & Too Cool v. Right to Censor
Another decent opener for an awesome PPV. RTC wins.

X-Pac v. Road Dogg
Awesome! These two guys had a great match. I loved it you will too. X-Pac wins.

Val Venis & Trish v. Eddie Guerrero & Chyna Intergender Tag Team Match for the Intercontinental Championship
A tag match for a singles title...........COOL!! Especially with Chyna winning who would have thought that.

Jerry Lawler v. Tazz
I love the ending where JR breaks the glass jar over Tazz's head and King wins.

Shane McMahon v. Steve Blackman WWF Hardcore Championship
Whoooooooooooo! This PPV gets better ever match doesn't it. Shane falls off of the arena. And Blackman wins the title.

Chris Benoit v. Chris Jericho 2-Out-Of-3-Falls Match
Match of the year canidate. Benoit wins the first fall. Jericho wins the second. Benoit wins the third. Simply awesome.

Edge & Christian v. The Hardyz v. The Dudleyz Tables,Ladder, & Chairs Match for the WWF Tag Team Championship Match
Two straight match of the year canidates. This PPV is god. Edge & Christian retain.

The Kat v. Terri Thong Stinkface Match
ZZZZz.

The Undertaker v. Kane
It wasn't a match it was a brawl. I liked it its Taker and Kane.

The Rock v. Triple H v. Kurt Angle Triple Threat Match for the WWF Championship
It was okay for the World Title but nothing really that good but it is decent.

Review: 2000 Summerslam
August 27, 2000
Raleigh Entertainment & Sports Arena
Raleigh, North Carolina

Rikishi & Too Cool V. Right To Censor
A pretty good opener because it was short. RTC wins. **1/2

X-Pac V. Road Dogg
This match could have been better. The crowd was behind the Road Dogg the whole time, but JR & the King said that the crowd was spilt. X-Pac wins. **

Intergender Tag Team Match for the Intercontinental Championship:
Val Venis (Champion) & Trish V. Eddie Guerrero & Chyna
Umm...ok? the Intercontinental Title is on the line in an intergender match? Give me a break; and Chyna wins?.. What the hell? I thought that the WWF had learned by now? This match was alright. Thank god it was short. **1/4

Jerry Lawler V. Tazz
This match had a good little storyline to it. The King won when JR breaks a glass jar over Tazz's head. *3/4

WWF Hardcore Championship:
Shane McMahon (Champion) V. Steve Blackman
Good hardcore match, could have been better. Shane falls on the stage. This was the first time he had done that, however Blackman wins the title. *** Oh my god, it took the fifth match to get a three star match? That's not good

2-Out-Of-3-Falls Match:
Chris Benoit V. Chris Jericho
Awesome. Benoit wins the first fall, Jericho wins the second, and Chris wins the third, um, Benoit that is. ****

Tables, Ladder, & Chairs Match for the WWF Tag Team Championship:
Edge & Christian (Champions) V. The Hardyz V. The Dudleyz
I really never liked this match until I actually sat down and watched it, and it's awesome. I'm a wrestling guy, not a hardcore guy, but this match was just great with some sick bumps. *****. I think it won match of the year in 2000.

Thong Stinkface Match:
The Kat V. Terri
Can you say more buyrates anyone? Kat wins. DUD

The Undertaker V. Kane
This match wasn't even a match, it was a 15 minutes brawl with the bell not sounding. I think it's stupid. The brawl was somewhat good, but it was just a waste of time and I can't even rate it because it wasn't a match and I don't see why?

Triple Threat Match for the WWF Championship:
The Rock (Champion) V. Triple H V. Kurt Angle
The real issue real is between Angle & HHH, but they needed to put the WWF Champion on the show somehow. This match was good except for one thing...Angle was in the match for only three minutes. What's wrong with Angle that they only put him in the match for three minutes? This was suppose to be Angle's first main event and it did nothing for him. This match was a one on one match until the last three minutes. The Rock wins and this match wasn't as great as people say it was. ***1/2. The good thing is that Kurt wins his first WWF Championship two months later in my State Capitol of Albany! and Steph gets knocked out by Triple H!

Overall, a pretty underwhelming show. The Tag Team Championship and the 2-Out-Of-3 Falls match makes this show memorable and that's about it.

Summary: The best ppv of 2000
Review: Now even though the year 2000 had some good ppvs; like wrestlmania, royal rumble, and armageddon, this is still the best of them all. Each match was entertaining, although some are a lot better than others. Three matches will be remembered for the rest of wwe history, and this DVD is definately worth your money.

The opener has Too Cool and Rikishi vs. Right To Censor: This was a good match, not too long, yet the ending was kinda of a cheap one as Steven Richars kicks Scotty 2 Hotty in the face. The two women at ringside are sort of fun to watch because they try to hit the members of RTC when they fall out of the ring. A decent opener. 7.5/10

X-Pac vs. Road Dogg: Come on, this match could have been way better than what it was. These two have so much talent, yet they are no longer in the WWE. Road Dogg is on TNA and X-Pac has disappeared. The crowd was kinda dead in this one. 7/10

Shane McMahon vs. Steve Blackman: A good hardcore match, even Test and Albert didn't mess it up. Trash cans, trash can lids, street signs, and kendo sticks were used. The ending was good as Shane falls 60 feet from the top of the stage set. Then Blackman jumps 40 feet above right onto him. A great match. 8/10

The King vs. Tazz: This was the right amount of time in my opinion, and JR was great when he smashed the glass jar on Tazz's head. The crowd woke up after 5 minutes in this one. A good match yet sort of a card filler. 7.5/10

Val Venis and Trish vs. Eddie and Chyna: This was a good card filler and Chyna becomes champion. Trish looked good in this match, I'm not talking about wrestling, and Eddie looked good too, I am talking about wrestling. A good entertaining match where a female becomes intercontinental champion. 8/10

The Undertaker vs. kane: This was a good brawl, some weapons were used, and the intensity was good also. The Undertaker continued to go for kane's mask for payback after what Kane did to him a few weeks prior to it. The Undertaker eventually grabs the mask off and wins since kane refused to fight. 8/10

Thong stink face match: A waste of good time. Terri looked good though, yet Perry Saturn wrecked a lot of moments in this match. Only okay if you watch it everyonce in a while. 6/10

Triple Threat match for the wwf championship: An awsome match, Kurt and Triple H fight before the match even starts and Triple H tries to pedigree Kurt on the announce table, but it breaks under their weight. Then the rock comes out and its him and Triple H fighting during most of the match. Then Stephanie drags kurt back out and thats when everyone gets hit by either the sledgehammer or each other. The ending is great also. 10/10

First Ever Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match: This was off the page. All three teams took risks no one would even dream of back then. The Hardy boys really shine in this match as they take some of the biggest bumps ever [When Jeff did the Swantan Bomb off the 20 foot ladder and when Matt fell backwards off the ladder through two tables.} When the Dudley boys bring out the tables, that is when the match really goes to another level. Even Lita gets involved when she pushes Edge and Christian off the 20 foot ladder. At the end the crowd gives them all a standing ovation which is rightfully deserved. When Jeff and D-von are on the ladder that is a great suspensful moment. 15/10

If you don't have this DVD I will forgive you when you buy this one. You can thank me later.

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST SUMMERSLAMS; 4.5 STARS
Review: ONE OF MY FRIENDS TAPED THIS PPV THE NIGHT IT ORIGINALLY AIRED ON PPV. THE NEXT DAY, HE LET ME BORROW IT, AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD THIS SHOW WAS! HERE'S MY THOUGHTS OF THE ENTIRE CARD FOR THIS EVENT;

1. TOO COOL & RIKISHI VS. RIGHT TO CENSOR [STEVEN RICHARDS, THE GOODFATHER, & BULL BUCHANAN]
A GOOD WAY TO START OFF THE EVENT. RATING; 3.5/5

2. ROAD DOGG VS. X-PAC
THIS WAS A GOOD MATCH. WELL, THIS MATCH PRETTY MUCH SEALED THE FATE OF DX'S FUTURE TOGETHER, BUT I ENJOYED THIS MATCH. RATING; 4/5

3. INTERGENDER TAG TEAM MATCH FOR THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
VAL VENIS & TRISH STRATUS VS. EDDIE GUERRERO & CHYNA
SHOULD'VE BEEN A 3 WAY DANCE BETWEEN VAL VENIS, EDDIE GUERRERO, AND CHYNA. THAT WOULD'VE ENHANCED THIS MATCH. BUT, THIS WAS PRETTY DECENT. RATING; 3.5/5

4. TAZZ VS. JERRY LAWLER
A GOOD MATCH. TAZZ REALLY DESERVED A MUCH BETTER RUN IN THE WWE. I ENJOYED THIS ONE. RATING; 4/5

5. FOR THE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION SHANE MCMAHON VS. STEVE BLACKMAN
THE BEST HARDCORE TITLE MATCH SINCE THE HARDCORE BATTLE ROYAL AT WRESTLEMANIA XVI. PLENTY OF WEAPON USE AND PLENTY OF HIGH FLYING ACTION FROM SHANE MCMAHON MAKES THIS A CLASSIC MATCH. WATCH FOR THE MEMORABLE FINALE WHEN SHANE MCMAHON FALLS OFF THE SIDE OF THE TITANTRON! RATING; 5/5

6. 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS MATCH
CHRIS JERICHO VS. CHRIS BENOIT
THESE GUYS PUT ON YET ANOTHER CLASSIC PERFORMANCE IN THIS MATCH. THERE'S PLENTY OF GOOD SUBMISSION WRESTLING AND HIGH TECH WRESTLING TO MAKE THIS MATCH IRRESISTABLE. A MUST-SEE! RATING; 5/5

7. TLC MATCH FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS
CHAMPIONS EDGE & CHRISTIAN VS. THE HARDY BOYZ [MATT & JEFF HARDY] VS. THE DUDLEY BOYZ [BUBBA RAY & D'VON]

8. THE UNDERTAKER VS. KANE
THIS IS A LOW POINT OF THE EVENT. UNDERTAKER AND KANE HAVE WRESTLED EACH OTHER IN MUCH BETTER MATCHES THAN THIS [MOST NOTABLY AT WRESTLEMANIA XIV AND THEIR INFERNO MATCH AT BACKLASH 98, AND MOST RECENTLY AT WRESTLEMANIA XX]. RATING; 2/5

9. STINKFACE MATCH
THE KAT VS. TERRI
STUPID! NEXT MATCH. RATING; 0/5

10. TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION THE ROCK VS. TRIPLE H VS. KURT ANGLE
