Summary: Wrestlemania 2000
Review: This Wrestlemania is worth having with good matches, and special features giving history of the past 15 Wrestlemanias. Here are the matches. *Contains Winners*

1. Tag Team Match
The Godfather & D'Lo Brown vs. Big Boss Man & Bull Buchanan
This wasn't too good of a much since all the wrestlers suck and since Ice-T rapped. But The Godfather's ho's were there it was just a starting match. (5.5/10)
Winner: Big Boss Man & Bull Buchanan

2. 13-Man Hardcore Battle Royal (Hardcore Championship)

Hardcore Holly, Crash Holly, Tazz, Viscera, Bradshaw, Faarooq, Mosh, Thrasher, Taka, Funaki, and Mean Street Posse
Pretty good hardcore match with chair hitting and blood spots. The title changed numerously and had an exciting finish. Lasted a little too long though and Tazz was cheated. (8/10)
Winner: Hardcore Holly

3. Tag Team Match
T & A with Trish Stratus vs. Al Snow & Steve Blackman
Pretty boring match with not too many good moves. But Al Snow's mascot Chester McCheesington was kinda funny, especially when they beat him up. Mainly used to calm the crowd down. (6/10)
Winner: T & A

4. Triangle Tag Team Ladder Match (Tag Team Championship)
Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian
Very exciting match with lots high flying and hardcore moves. The Dudley Boyz did a lot of crazy stuff like powerbombs through tables and 3-D off of ladders. The Hardy Boyz did a lot of crazy flying moves from ladders to tables. This match basically took the whole show except for the fact that Edge & Christian didn't do anything but still won. (10/10)
Winner: Edge & Christian

5. Cat Fight
The Kat with Mae Young vs. Terri with Fabulous Moolah with Special Guest Referee: Val Venis
Basically a pointless match but it did have one exciting moment when The Kat stripped Terri's pants down. Anyway The Kat got cheated and it was pointless. (6.5/10)
Winner: Terri

6. 6-Person Tag Team Match
Too Cool & Chyna vs. Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, & Perry Saturn
Another match used to calm the crowd down before another big match. It was an okay match but a predictable ending. Chyna shouldn't be as good a wrestler as she is though. (6.5/10)
Winner: Too Cool & Chyna

7. Two-Fall Triple Threat Match (European and Intercontinental Championship)
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit
A good match with good moves and action throughout the whole thing. It was the first match for two championships. Kurt Angle lost both titles but Chris Jericho should have won the Intercontinental Championship, not the European. (8.5/10)
Winner: Chris Benoit (Intercontinental Champion) & Chris Jericho (European Champion)

8. Tag Team Match
Kane & Rikishi vs. X-Pac with Tori & Road Dogg
Yet, another match used to calm the crowd before the main event. An okay match since Kane & Rikishi dominated the whole time but I wanted to see more of Kane, but he did chokeslam Pete Rose (again). Rikishi got annoying since all he did was stick his disgusting butt in people's faces. Then of course Too Cool came down which gets VERY annoying. Predictable ending. (7/10)
Winner: Kane & Rikishi

9. Fatal Four-Way Elimination Match (WWF Championship)
Triple H with Stephanie vs. The Rock with Vince vs. Big Show with Shane vs. Mick Foley with Linda
A very good match with total action and good moves. Big Show went out first and then The Rock and Mick Foley teamed on Triple H. It went back and forth between these three. Mick Foley did a could of stunts and finally went down after two Pedigrees. Triple H and The Rock fought for a long time and then Vince screwed him in a surprise. Good match but Rock should've won. (9.5/10)
Winner: Triple H

Overall, a good Wrestlemania ton add to your collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Solid, but not exactly a Memorable WM
Review: WrestleMania returns to Anaheim for the first time since 1996 where the legendary 60 Minute Iron Man Match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels emanated. WM2000 was a fairly good pay-per-view but as the WWF/WWE learned from this WrestleMania that one-on-one main events, for such a prestigious pay-per-view such as WM, are still better in promoting and more beneficial for the match itself. In my honest opinion, the Fatal Four-Way match had an interesting twist with a McMahon in each corner, but it didn't carry WM as well as it did the previous year with The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin in '99. A rundown of the matches:

1. The Godfather & D'Lo Brown vs. Big Boss Man & Bull Buchanan. Despite Ice-T rapping and Godfather's voluptuous ho train, this match was a rather dull opener which didn't do much to fire up the crowd in Anaheim. (1/5)

2. 15 Minute Hardcore Battle Royal. This match probably should have been limited to 10 minutes but nonetheless, a pretty entertaining match with lots of headshots and other hardcore spots. (3/5)

3. Test & Albert with Trish Stratus vs. Head Cheese (Al Snow & Steve Blackman) with Cheesy McCheeserton. Pretty funny bathroom pre-match segment between Al Snow and Steve Blackman, but a rather tedious match anyway, with a cheesy ending. No pun intended. (2.5/5)

4. Triangle Ladder Match for the Tag Team Championship: The Dudley Boyz (Champions) vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian. Match of the night. Fantastic hardcore spots throughout and those Damn Dudleyz really stole the show, despite Jeff Hardy's climactic swanton bomb off the ladder to Buh Buh Ray Dudley through the table. Jeff must be swimming through Memory Lane at home without work in the WWF/E. (5/5)

5. Terri Runnels vs. The Kat. Amusing backstage dressing room scene between Kat and Mae Young before the Triangle Ladder Match. Good cooling-off match, if you want to call it that, with funny moments after an excellent ladder match. (3/5)

6. Too Cool & Chyna vs. The Radicalz. Borderline between a dud and an okay match. Eddie Guerrero spends a lot of time taunting his "Mamacita" and Jerry Lawler on the mic repeating over and over about Eddie's Latino Heat. (2.5/5)

7. Triple-Threat Match for the Intercontinental & European Titles: Kurt Angle (IC & Euro Champion) vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit. Great technical display between three of the best technical wrestlers the WWF/E has. At the time, I believe Kurt was undefeated but he wasn't exactly defeated to be defeated twice. Solid match. (4/5)

8. Kane & Rikishi vs. Road Dogg & X-Pac. Not a bad match, although it would have easily been a dud had the crowd been in an ineffective nonfactor. Kane & Rikishi basically cleaned house through most of this match, highlighted by Pete Rose being humiliated by The Big Red Machine once again. (3/5)

9. Fatal Four-Way Elimination Match for the WWF Championship: Triple H (Champion) with Steph vs. The Rock with Vince vs. Big Show with Shane vs. Mick Foley with Linda. This match had pretty sizeable hype, not as significant as the past WM main events (i.e. Austin vs. Rock, Austin vs. HBK), but WWF did a credible job at making this match a toss-up. Anyway, the match made sufficient use off of the underlying storyline and it was pulled off nicely. The ending breaks WrestleMania tradition as a heel, Triple H wins the main event, all thanks to Vince's screwjob of The Rock. (4.5/5)

All in all, a good pay-per-view. It's not exactly up to par with the other WrestleManias, but as the following year had shown, WrestleMania 17 was a much better improvement, from top to bottom, which made WM2000 look like a shoddy WCW pay-per-view.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good PPV even better extra features
Review: Wrestlemania 16 (2000) took place in Anaheim, California. It was a really good PPV. I will rate the matches on a star (*) system. They are based out of 5 stars.

1. BIG BOSSMAN & BULL BUCHANON (VS) THE GODDFAHTER & D-LO BROWN
Pretty boring match. The worst part was Ice-T rapping while D-Lo & Goddfather came to the ring. ... **

2. HARDCORE BATTLE ROYAL (HARDCORE TITLE)
This was a great match. It really got the PPV going. It was a 15 minute match and who ever has the belt at the end of the 15 minutes is the champ. Particpants were Crash Holly (Champ), Hardcore Holly, Tazz, Viscera, Pete Gass, Rodney, Joey Abbs, Taka Michonuku, Funaki, Mosh, Thrasher, Farooq, & Bradshaw. There are many great spots in this match. Pete Gass bleeds a lot in this match. ... They botched the ending. ****

3. T&A (VS) AL SNOW & STEVE BLACKMAN
Boring match. A couple of good spots. Test pins Steve Blackman. **

4. EDGE & CHRISTIAN (VS) HARDY'S (VS) DUDLEY'S (TRIANGLE LADDER/TAG TEAM TITLE)
Amazing match. It actually turned into a Ladder & Table match. Many great spots and bumps. My favorite is when Bubba Dudley Powerbombs Matt Hardy off the announce table through another table. JR makes this move seem amazing. The end of the match is great. ... *****

5. TERRI RUNNELS (VS) THE KAT (CAT FIGHT)
... Great post match action. These two had amazing outfits on. ****

6. TOO COOL & CHYNA (VS) THE RADICALS (BENOIT, GUERRERO, MALENKO)
Chyna pins Guerrero to win it. Chyna pants rip during the match and she can't keep them up. **1/2

7. Y2J (VS) BENOIT (VS) ANGLE (INTERCONTINENTAL/EUROPEAN TITLE)
Angle came in to the match with both belts. The first fall was for the Intercontinental Title and the second fall was for the European Title. (I don't understand why the first match wasn't for the European title). Y2J wins the first fall by pinning Benoit to capture the Intercontinental Title. ... Angle never gets pinned, but loses both belts. Good technical match. Could have been better. ***1/2

8. TRIPLE H (VS) THE ROCK (VS) MICK FOLEY (VS) BIG SHOW (FATAL FOURWAY/WORLD TITLE/NO DQ)
There was a McMahon in every man's corner for this match (Shane w/ Big Show, Vince w/ Rock, Linda w/ Foley, Triple H w/ Stephanie). This is a very good match. It is almost an hour long ... Great post match action. The McMahon's are crazy. Watch for the confrontation between Shane McMahon and actor Michael Clarke-Duncan. ****1/2

Extra Features
The extra features on disc one are not too notable. Disc 2 is amazing. It is the first 15 Wrestlemania's all highlighted on one disc. It is so cool to see the history. Unfortunately, a lot of stuff was left out, but there is still a lot there.

Overall, it is a pretty good PPV. The best match was the Triangle Ladder Match. The Fatal Fourway, Hardcore Battle Royal, and Intercontinental/European Title matches were all good too. Buy this DVD for these matches and for all of disc two.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 2nd best wrestlmania ever
Review: This Wrestlmania was awsome. I would have to say the main event match, {The Rock with Vince, Tripple H with Stephanie, Big Show with Shane O Mac, and Mick Foley with Linda} The hardcore battle royal, the match with two titles on the line {the european and intercontinental title. Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho , and Kurt Angle} and of course the first ever tlc match really stole the show. The other matches were okay. Overall this main event gets a 9 out of 10 rating. It only gets 9 stars because the kat fight [was bad].

Rating: 5 stars

3 T & A w/ Trish Startus Vs Al Snow & Steve Blackman
Test and Albert debuted has a tag team here, and had a good match against Al, and Steve-***

4 Triangle Ladder Match-Dudleys(c) Vs Hardys Vs Edge and Christian

5 6-Person Tag Match-Too Cool & Chyna Vs The RadicalzThis match was ok, but they should have held it on SmackDown!, Heat, or RAW***

6 Cat Fight-The Kat w/ Mae Young Vs Terri w/
Moolah-Val Venis is spesial ref-Val has a short make out session with Terri and teh Kat before they start, and Mae Young gives teh Oldest Bronco Buster EVER!!!**

7 Two Fall 3-Way match for IC and European Titles-Anlge(c) Vs Beniot Vs Jerichio-Angle never gets pinned in this match, and that is all im got to say about this match beside it was grat.****

8 Kane & Rikishi Vs Road Dogg and X-Pac w/ Tori-The match was ok, and teh ending was great with Toir getting a Stinkface, and Pete Rose making his infamous return ro see Kane.

The 2-Disc DVD has some great footage on it, the 1st Disc has some random interviews with crew and they show you how they got Wrestlemania 2000 up and running. There is also a play by play feature with Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, and Kurt Angle commentating on their match with Kevin Kelly.

Next, the 2-Disc DVD is the entire Wrestlemania History showcasing interviews with wrestlers and match clips and feuds of the big matches.

This is defenitley not a perfect PPV but the DVD definintley makes up for the average PPV. If your looking for better Wrestlemanias, I recommend these:

Wrestlemania XIV: Steve Austin vs. Shawn Michaels, The Rock vs. Ken Shamrock, Undertaker vs. Kane, Tag Team Title Dumpster Match

Wrestlemania X-7: Steve Austin vs. The Rock, Undertaker vs. Triple H, TLC Match, Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle, Hardcore Title Match, Street Fight Match

Wrestlemania X-8: Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock, Triple H vs. Chris Jericho, Steve Austin vs. Scott Hall, Ric Flair vs. Undertaker

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST EVER!!!!!
Review: Best PPV ever! Every match deserves 10/10! Here's what I think of them.
1st match: Godfather and D-lo vs. Boss man and Bull Buchanan. Great moves throughout the entire match. 10/10.
2nd match: First-ever 13-man Hardcore battle Royal for the Hardcore title. Awesome! The most hardcore action you could hope to see. Best Hardcore title match to date. 25/10.
3rd match: T&A vs. Al Snow & Steve Blackman. Good action and you see a guy in a cheese suit slap his ... 10/10.
4th match: Triangle Ladder match for the Tag team titles. Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge and Christian. Best of the night! There were high risks, tables, ladders, and chairs. (oh, my). Amazing match with astounding end. A must see at 1000/10.
5th match: Cat fight. Kat vs. Terri. Cool match with Val Venis as Referee. A few nice views of Kat and Terri. 10/10.
6th match: First-ever Two-fall Triple-threat match for European and I.C. Titles. Y2J vs. Benoit vs. Angle. One of the matches of the year. Pure WRESTLING. Angle had both titles at the beginning and ended with nothing. 10/10.
7th match: Too cool and Chyna vs. Radicalz. Chyna beat the holy ...out of that...Eddie Guerrero. Amazing moves by everybody in the match. 10/10.
8th match: Kane and Rikishi vs. x-pac and Road Dogg. Fast-paced action. Kane and Rikishi dominated. Pete Rose gets a chokeslam and a stinkface. (hahahahahahahahaha).
9th match: First-ever Fatal four-way elimination match for the WWF title: a McMahon in every corner. HHH with Stephanie vs. The Rock with Vince vs. Big Show with Shane vs. Mick Foley with Linda. Foley's last match. And what a way to leave. Big Show eliminated first with a Rock Bottom. Foley eliminated second with two pedigrees. Rock back-stabbed by Vince and eliminated last. But, Rock delivers a Rock Bottom to Stephanie and gives her the people's elbow. Nonetheless The match gets a 100/10.

The PPV gets a 100/100. BUY IT!!!! I GUARENDAMNTEE YOU WON'T BE DISAPOINTED!!!!!!!!1

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not too bad, but not too good either.
Review: Overall, this PPV didn't stink. It was simply good, but not too good. The triangle ladder match for the WWE tag titles was pretty tight, but nothing compared to the tables, ladders, and chairs matches at Summerslam 00' and Wrestlemania X-7. Still, Edge & Christian, the Hardy Boyz, and the Dudley Boyz gave us a heck of a match. The hardcore title matchup was also pretty cool. The main event for the WWE Championship: The Rock vs. Triple H vs. Bigshow vs. Mick Foley in a fatal-four way elimination match. This wasn't a bad match but not a really great one either. The ending of the match is cheap and distasteful. Vince McMahon, who was supposedly in The Rock's corner, runs into the ring with a chair and takes out The Rock. HHH pins The Rock and wins the match following McMahon's betrayal. Afterward, angry fans fill the ring with garbage. The Rock, after being [cheated] for the millionth time, rockbottoms everybody in the ring including Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. Big deal! This PPV was O.K. but could've been a little better. My advice: don't buy this video, rent it instead.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WWF Wrestlemania a good WWF DVD
Review: Wrestlemania 2000
This 2 disk DVD features both the pay per view Wrestlemania 2000 and the History fo Wrestlemania 1-15. Wrestlemania 2000 featured the 4-way World Title match, some people liked it, others didn't thinking a traditional World singles match HAS to be the main event. I liked the match, I thought it was a great Event overall, The Ladder Tag Team Match is worth the DVD alone and is considered to be one of the best tag matches of all times, with lots of spots galore. It also features the "Eurocontinental" 2 fall triple threat match, for the Intercontinental and European Heavyweight belts, this was also a great match featuring Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho in a great...match. Almost all the matches on the card were good execpt the god awful Head Cheese gimmick, even the fans in attendance were in compelte silence of the [stuff]. (Also Fans at the event didn't seem to like Ice T's rapping all that much, but I'll let you judge on your taste of music) I would recommend it if you havn't seen it, the ladder match is a great ...match.

Also on the Wrestlemania 2000 disk it has some special features, like commentary from Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle on there Triple Threat match, it was ok since they kept going in and out of character (ie. Kurt says there was a consiracy for him to lose both titles, then the next minute he says they put on a great match). Also features backstage [stuff] and talks about Axxess event.

Onto Wrestlemania history disk. This disk features clips of each Wrestlemania and important matches. It's a lot better than the DVD with Wrestlemania Book. I'm not gonna review the matches since there all cliped. Only thing I don't like about WWF history videos is they being very picky and only show matches they think are good. They only show matches that involve current wreslters or wrestlers that are on decent terms with WWF, which is stupid, if there gonna make a Best of DVD, they should show Best of all, Not best of people that were good friends with Pat Patterson.

I would recommend the DVD, good DVD overall and has a lot of history in it
