Month: November 2013

Rebellion 2000

I like how they cut together a video package essentially using promos from the build up to Unforgiven . Worked out well I guess lol, plus it’s all they had to work with because they didn’t exactly hype this show on TV I don’t think, since America didn’t get it until like a year later on that month PPV service thingy.

Foley promo to start things. Just to tell us that HHH isn’t on the show. Because he wasn’t in the main event. Oh and the 4 way match for the WWF title is now No DQ and no countouts. Because we often see those 4 way matches end like that…

Angle shows up. Can’t be wasting PPV time on matches after all! Angle making fun of Englishmen not winning gold medals. Bet he looks back at this and regrets saying it . Tazz and JR are doing commentary.

T&A Vs The Dudley Boys Vs Edge & Christian – Elimination Tables Match

 TRISH FAP FAP.

BIG VIS sign in the crowd. PETE GAS too. Man, Sheffield fans are awesome! Well, they are when I’m in the crowd. Wish they still did the UK PPV’s. They stopped doing them the same year I started going to shows. Cunts.

ALBERT KICKS A TABLE IN HALF! Take THAT furniture!

Test had an awesome big boot. One of like, 3 things he was good at. But I liked T&A. Great team.

 at Edge. Tags himself in after Test hits the big boot, kicks Bubba a few times on the floor, then when Bubba starts to get back up he runs and tags Test back in and runs out of the ring again.

Edge & Christian see an opportunity to take out T&A who have been DOMINATING this match so far, and end up powerbombing Albert through a table while he was trying to superplex Bubba. Why are T&A always the first team to get eliminated in matches like this? I WANT MORE T&A DAMMIT!!! At least let TRISH stay at ringside.

DEVON KICKS A TABLE… but it doesn’t break. He’s no Albert.

With T&A gone we get a standard E&C Vs Dudley Boys tag, but a standard match between those guys is like a fucking classic match compared to what we see today from anyone but THE SHIELD. Fun little finishing stretch, then Christian saves Edge from a 3-D by running into him, then stands up and takes the 3-D through a table himself. Good match overall.

Ivory Vs Lita – WWF Women’s Championship Match

Lita got busted open at Survivor Series  but she gets another shot at the title tonight .

Tazz wants to see Ivory nude. Can’t say I’d complain if I saw it too .

Why is Steven Richards always at ringside with Ivory but the Hardy Boys never come out to support Lita? If I was associated with LITA she’d have to get a restraining order out to keep me away! And trust me, she WOULD get the restraining order .

Match is like, a MILLION times less sloppy than their SS match. LITA SUICIDE DIVE TO WHITE SOCKS. It’s short as fuck, but they don’t fuck up shit constantly so for the time it gets and given the fact it’s a WWF women’s match, it’s fine. Screwy finish and Ivory retains.

Perry Saturn Vs Steve Blackman – WWF Hardcore Championship Match

 YES! Hardcore title match . After Unforgiven we didn’t get a hardcore title match on normal PPV until NO WAY OUT 2001. RR match doesn’t count .

Perry Saturn hits ONE OF DEM MEXICAN MOVES over the ropes to Blackman.  @ Tazz. Almost as bad as me and the Japanese A Vs Japanese B thing.

They do some cool shit early on with moves, then outcome the weapons and things go from eeeee to EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE kinda fun. Fuck me at Saturn drop toe holding Blackman into the trash can. Blackman’s head smacks it and damn, not often a trash can shot looks that painful .

Saturn probably does his best “wrestling” in this match than I recall seeing in WWF. Combine that with the weapons and damn, guaranteed FUN.

Saturn does the suicide dive through the ropes into a weapon spot. But it’s a metal tray rather than a chair which just doesn’t seem as impactful lol. Looks cool at least .

STICKS~! No not the the band. The weapons.

Martial Arts kick to the chair that smacks into Saturn’s face and this is done.  this was fun. GOD I FUCKING MISS THE HARDCORE TITLE DAMMIT.

William Regal Vs Crash Holly – WWF European Championship Match

Great promo from Regal backstage before the match. He both manages to get over as a babyface AND rip apart England… and STILL get cheered afterwards .

MOLLY HOLLY’S TITS.

 Regal continues his promo in the ring before the match starts too. Awesome.

 at the “CHYNA I’M PREGNANT” sign.

DAMN at those stiff elbow shots in the corner. Regal is definitely upping his game a little being in England. Everything he did looked nasty. While normally in the US he wasn’t quite as vicious for the first few months in the company.

Regal gets a 3 count but Crash’s foot was on the ropes. Ref talks to someone and MOLLY hits a dropkick. Crash pins Regal and wins the European title. MOLLY BEAT REGAL.

 Regal fucking DECKS MOLLY and starts kicking her in the head .

Kane Vs Chris Jericho

Match is announced as a “one fall to a finish” match. Well duh. Unless it’s a fucking 2/3 falls or Iron Man match then yeah, of course that’s what it fucking is.

 this match is more like their SS match and less like their LMS match. FIGHT. There’s a little sequence with Jericho charging at Kane only to be punched in the face, followed by Jericho getting back up and doing the same thing again… well on about the 4th punch, Jericho doesn’t so much bump off the punch as just run into Kane’s fist and collapse . Think he might have taken a real shot to the face there .

Y2GAY sign. Ha.

I started to become a Jericho fan around this time, because my parents bought me a Jericho t-shirt and I didn’t wanna tell them I hated him . So as I pretended to like him any time he came on screen, I started paying more attention to him and started actually liking him for the most part lol. Imagine if they’d bought me a ROCK t-shirt? I’d have told them to take it fucking back .

CHOKESLAM. This one is over. Jericho attacks Kane after the match. Good stuff, but essentially just a short version of their SS match.

No LITA at ringside after her backstage brawl .

Jeff starts showing up Bull by doing all his flippy shit and taking him down and stuff. Then he celebrates too near the RTC corner and Goodfather fucking KILLS HIM with a super clothesline .

Not to be outdone by his brother, Matt tries to commit suicide or something by lobbing himself face first into the ring post. Good stuff .

Basic tag match, nothing worth going out of your way to see. Val helps his RTC buddies and that’s that.

Kurt is talking with E&C, trying to get their moral support for the match later. Christian is too hurt from going through the table.

Undertaker on his way to the ring, but Benoit distracts him and the Radicals attack the American Bad Ass! They destroy his knee.

Chris Benoit Vs The Undertaker

They tease Undertaker not being able to make it out, but he comes limp(Bizkit)ing his way down to the ring anyway!

So Undertaker has the knee problem going into the match, and Benoit obviously goes after it. However not enough damage was done and Undertaker can still dictate a lot of the pace in the match.  at Benoit trying to wrap Undertaker’s leg around the ring post, only for ‘Taker to smash his head into the post. Benoit’s bump and subsequent fall looks hilariously awesome with the steel steps preventing you from seeing where he lands. Might make a GIF for it if I can be arsed. We’ll see.

Yeah, I made the gif .

Undertaker keeps going to his power to control the match, but any time he thinks his knee is ok again, Benoit spots an opening and just tears at it some more.

We get a somewhat lengthy (given the entire length of the match anyway) control segment with Benoit doing a pretty good job of destroying Undertaker’s leg. HEADBUTT TO THE KNEE. GOAT. Then Undertaker hits a small package and gets the quick 3!!! THE UNDERTAKER HAD TO USE A SMALL PACKAGE. Similar match to the FL Angle match, except Undertaker was able to destroy Kurt at the end. Here he had to resort to a fucking roll up. BENOIT GETS PUT OVER AGAIN!

Good match, but damn, this needed to happen on a big stage a few years later. Hell even in 02 it could have been magnificent. But 05 onwards? Hell motherfucking yeah. Would have been epic.

Kurt Angle Vs Rikishi Vs The Rock Vs Steve Austin – WWF Championship Match

Rock and Austin take turns at fighting Angle in the ring and fighting Rikishi on the outside. Then they double team Rikishi. Angle in the mean time fucks off with the WWF title. Rock goes after him which makes no sense. LET HIM LEAVE. More chance of winning a triple threat than a 4 way ya dumb fuck. God I hate The Rock!

LOL at Rikishi fucking up a “whip opponents into each other out of the corner” spot when he decides to fall out of the ring instead of into the corner. Poor Rock is mid-whipping Angle on the other side and has to quickly switch it up and lob Angle outside.

AUSTIN AND ROCK STAREDOWN. STUNNER TO THE ROCK. EVERYONE TRIES TO COVER THE ROCK. NOBODY LIKES THE ROCK. LOL.

Austin is just killing it in this match. Absolute fucking WORKHORSE. He never slows down, starting with running to the ring to start this thing off, right up until the end. He’s always in the action and always doing something great. ROCK BOTTOM TO AUSTIN. BOOOOO.

ANGLE SLAM TO ROCK. YEY!

Edge & Christian show up to show moral support for Angle anyway. AWWWW THEY DO LOVE KURT AFTERALL!

The Radicals show up next to give Angle more moral support because, well, E&C just weren’t enough lol. Rock and Austin are busy with all the interference, allowing Angle to hit the Angle Slam on Rikishi and retain his title!

This was fun. Nonstop action with very little of the “2 in 2 out” formula. A lot of the time all 4 guys, or at least 3 of them were in the ring at the same time trying to kill each other.

Angle retains the title but Austin and Rock hit finishers on the Radicals to let the fans go home happy.

Kurt Angle Vs Chris Jericho – WWF Intercontinental Championship Match

 Jericho kicks Kurt right in the face on a moonsault attempt off the steel steps.

 at Tim White not giving a shit what they are doing on the outside because he’s quite clearly having a conversation on his head piece.

Oh hey Jericho, are you aware of selling? Because your arm was in trouble about 10 seconds ago and here you are hitting a fucking double arm back breaker. Knob. Yeah, I’m complaining about someone no selling in a Kurt Angle match and it’s NOT Kurt Angle!

Fuck me, he does it again. This time with a fucking double powerbomb. Oh but he holds his arm afterwards, so that makes it alright I guess…

At least Angle is on top of his game for the most part. He keeps going back to the arm in hopes that it’ll actually weaken and Jericho might fucking sell the damn thing.

OLYMPIC SLAM! And Jericho kicks out. Because even in 2000 his finisher was fucking useless…

 at Angle trying to deck Chyna with the European title belt. WHAT A GUY! Then Chyna gets blasted into the steel steps by Jericho. Lionsault, title belt to the face, and Angle is now the EuroContinental Champion!

Solid match overall but definitely has its problems (Jericho…). Their KOTR match later in the year would be better.

 Earl Hebner comes down to dispute the decision… and Tim White fucking ignores him and buggers off .

The Dudley Boys Vs The New Age Outlaws – WWF Tag Team Championship Match

Shame Billy went into this match already injured, a proper PPV tag team match between these two teams could have been fucking tremendous. Always wondered how the tag division would have been had Billy not been injured and the Outlaws were still together the entire year. Would the “3 team” thing have still been just that? Would the Outlaws have been inserted into the Dudleys/Hardys/E&C feud?

All the times I watched this match in the past I never knew or noticed that Billy was injured going in. Then after watching a shoot where Billy says it, I can’t help but notice that he never uses his left arm, he holds it in pain after the first exchange before the bell, and spends the majority of the match on the apron.

Match is odd, given that both teams are heels, and the injured Billy didn’t help. It is pretty amazing to see Billy get the hot tag and fucking OWN the Dudley Boys with one hand . Then he gets dragged to the outside and hit in the shoulder with a pipe. 3-D to Road Dogg who isn’t even the legal man and the titles change hands! Road Dogg is upset. They split up following this, and Billy gets beat up and kicked out of DX on Raw either the next night or a week or so later following surgery.

Match is happening because Viscera gave MAE YOUNG a big splash. While she was pregnant with Mark’s child. So is THAT the reason she only have birth to a hand?

TAKER GET WELL sign in the crowd .

 there is a faint chant in the crowd and I swear I thought they were saying “Daniel Bryan” at first.

2 big beefie bastards battling it out here. Yeah it’s not the best example of such a thing but it’s still fun to me. Henry takes about 2 or 3 huge bumps into the steel steps and the ref doesn’t give a fuck . Boring chant starts up. Cunts.

SAMOAN DROP TO MARK HENRY. BY VISCERA. BIG BEEFIE DROP.

Mae Young shows up to check on Mark. She gets shoved down and Big Vis sets up another splash! SCOOP SLAM! 1…2..3…what? LOL.

The Hardy Boys Vs Edge & Christian – #1 Contendership Match

APA . Shame they are just there to protect Terri, who has returned tonight after the Dudley Boys put her through a table.

 the ref actually gets too distracted to make a pin because Jeff is taking off his top . Guess he’s gay for Jeff. I’m gay for Moleman.

Ok, so this match. Best I can come up with is that both teams are still babyface, and are sort of friends, and have a sort of “friendly rivalry” going on. Both want to be the #1 tag team, and both want to really get “made” and shit. So both teams here are just going all out to prove they deserve the title shot and as a result a lot of it is really back and forth stuff. On paper it makes sense and I’m fine with what it seems like they were trying to achieve… but fuck me it’s terribly done lol.

Whole thing feels like some move exhibition from both teams as they go back and forth trying to show everyone what they can do. They are just using this match as a chance to show off, nothing more. It feels awkward at times and the whole structure of the match comes across as one giant motherfucking mess.

And how LONG is this match? 15 minutes? Feels like an hour. It just draaaaaaaaags like fuck. Then Terri screws the Hardy Boys out of the win. APA kill the Hardy Boys. That’s that. Hardy Boys still get a title shot at WM along with E&C so this was UTTERLY POINTLESS in the long run too .

X-Pac Vs Kane – No Holds Barred Match

How the fuck did Kane get a girlfriend? And one that looks like Tori? What’s wrong me me? 

Later in the year, X-Pac would have a great fight with Jericho. Kane would have a great fight with Jericho. So can they have a great fight against each other? I hope so .

Oh man, Paul Bearer is the GOAT. X-Pac decks, and I mean fucking DECKS Kane with the ring bell and grabs a steel chair, so Paul Bearer charges at X-Pac, knocks the chair out of his hand and forces X-Pac to the floor, the proceeds to pummel his face in!!! Then Tori tries to make the save so Bearer chases her around the ring .

“KANE’S FACE IS HORRIFYING, WHO KNOWS WHAT HIS THINGY LOOKS LIKE!” 

Kane is booked as a fucking MONSTER here, just sitting up constantly regardless of what X-Pac throws at him. Ring bell. Low blow. X-Factor. Kane is on FIRE! Uhhh… you know what I mean.

X-Pac, despite having his offence rendered useless is good too, and his moves that he uses to get Kane down now and then all look legit in the sense that you could believe he can take out Kane with them.

CHOKESLAME TO X-PAC. TOMBSTONE TO TORI!

Steel steps into Kane’s face, X-Pac jumps on top and gets the 3. They’d have to finish their long standing feud at WM… in a fucking TAG MATCH. With Rikishi. Because that makes sense.

This was enjoyable. Nothing on the 2 Jericho matches I mentioned, but a good affair still.

2 Cool & Rikishi Vs Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko & Perry Saturn

Dean Malenko is apparently so dull, even SilverVision forgot to include his name in the match listing on the back of the DVD .

Eddie Guerrero brings some “moral support” for his friends since he’s still recovering from a dislocated arm. The moral support is a pipe. Rikishi takes him out before the match starts so 2 Cool are safe for now.

STINK FACE TO BENOIT. And that’s where his missing tooth went .

Rikishi sells his injured leg really well. HE SELLS IT WHILE RUNNING THE ROPES. Not often I see that tbh.

 Malenko is pretty awesome in this. He just keeps running in and decking people. First with a dropkick to Rikishi’s bad leg, then he fucking blasts Scotty in the face with a clothesline to break up a Worm attempt. Malenko needs to just stay on the apron and run in randomly. He’d be remembered better if he did that .

*Benoit chops the shit out of Scotty* JR: “Man that just KILLS you” Lawler: “That’s why they call him th crippler!” OH THE FORSHADOWING! 

Rikishi gets the hot tag and STILL sells the leg and does it extremely well too. Yeah he does some fast moving shit, but he actually sells the leg while doing it. You can clearly see him limping as he runs. More people need to learn how to sell the leg like that.

THE WORM! W! O! R! M! PLUS 3 MORE LETTERS BECAUSE THE FANS HAVEN’T STARTED THE LETTER CHANT YET SO SCOTTY DOES A FEW MORE HOPS LOL!

BONZAI! Rikishi pins Malenko.

So this is good. And fun and shit. I liked it quite a bit. I always kinda dreaded watching this, every time I’ve watched the event. I don’t know why. Plenty of talent in the match and shit. Hell even now I’ve watched it again and like it, the match still doesn’t appeal to me on paper lol. Crazy.

The Rock Vs The Big Show – WrestleMania Title Shot On the Line

So The Big Show wins the RR. But The Rock is announced the winner. Big Show PROVES IT. undoubtedly. He doesn’t act like a cunt. He just wants what is rightfully his. And The Rock treats him like a fucking piece of shit and the fans turn on him. So Show is now the heel because… I dunno.

Plus, how can you hate a guy with THIS facial hair?

AE style brawling on the outside to start things, but both guys take some pretty sweet bumps that puts it ahead of the usually crappy outside brawling. Show takes a cool looking back body drop over the barricade to the floor for instance, and Rock takes a clothesline from Show on the concrete that looks NASTY. Always been a fan of this match all things considering (Rock being involved…), and so far it’s looking to hold up nicely. And when you’ve seen a match a bunch of times that’s all you can ask for .

Show goes retarded and attempts to deck Rock with a chair (ha, deck, chair… get it?). IT WILL GET YOU DQ’D YA DUMB GIANT. Then Rocky smacks into the ref and good old Earl Hebner just fucking goes for it and lobs himself outside . Tim White comes down to make a cover, Earl pulls him out and they argue. SHANE MCMAHON IS BACK! He encourages Tim White to beat up Earl (seriously wtf is going on?  ). People’s Elbow! CHAIR TO THE ROCK’S HEAD BREAKING UP THE PEOPLE’S ELBOW! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! Show wins! Show wins! Show wins! Big Show is going to WrestleMania!!!

All in all this is good shit. Good brawling, Show does fine in control, ref stuff is hilarious, and Shane O’Mac screwing The Rock out of his WM title shot makes me . Shame it didn’t stick .

Triple H Vs Cactus Jack – WWF Title Vs Career Hell in a Cell Match

Cactus MUST win the WWF title here or else his career is OVER *wink wink*.

 at JR and Lawler being all super serious and talking about how dangerous this match is going to be and how Foley’s career could be over… then they randomly switch to Angle backstage being all happy and getting attacked by Jericho and thrown in the trunk of his car . Talk about a mood killer .

Speaking of killer, DAMN at Stephanie. I mean DAMN.

So the big story going into this one is how Cactus plans on jumping off the top of the cell right onto HHH… so HHH has the door padlocked up about 10 times! Poor Cactus can’t leave now! Or can he…?

Sweet mother of Jebus, that steel steps spot. HHH just LAUNCHES them into the face of Cactus. And Cactus runs head first into them. Glorious. Then he runs head first into a chair shot. No wonder the guy was driving for like 40 minutes going nowhere because he couldn’t remember where he lived. He’s had more brain cells killed from chair shots than Andy & Craig have killed via alcohol COMBINED. Yes, COMBINED. Guy should be a fucking vegetable.

Lawler busts out a great line about cactus having magnets implanted into his head years ago because it’s attracted to metal objects. I think this match alone proves that lol .

Can’t help but laugh at the elbow spot off the ropes with a chair, where the chair smashes back into Foley’s face. Injures him for real, but the way it happens is just funny. To me anyway. I’m a sick twat .

CACTUS JUST MADE HIMSELF A DOOR! As well as wrestling a HIAC match, Cactus also found the time for some Carpentry. Impressive!

Ok not really, he just threw the steps through the cell and created a way out. Piledriver on the table, and Cactus slowly begins to climb the cell! STEPHANIE! YEY! YUM YUM! Bah, she stops Foley from climbing the cell.

 at HHH diving over the barricade to escape the 2×4 wrapped in barbed wire. Awesome.

CAPTAIN BANG BANG!  wasn’t that like, Bart’s stage name as a male stripper in a random flash forward thingy that Marge has in an episode of The Simpsons?

OH MY GOD CACTUS HAS BROKEN IN HALF! He falls off the cell through a table, but eh, it doesn’t quite have the impact of previous falls. The HBK one looked better. The Mankind one obviously looked better, as did the other Mankind one from the Kane match that most people forget about. Still, MAN GO THROUGH TABLE FROM GREAT HEIGHT. ME LIKELY. EEEE SEEE DUB! EEEE SEEE DUB! 

 at Cactus nearly killing JR and Lawler when he tries to throw a chair up to the top of the cell and it keeps missing and landing on the announcers table. In the end he gives up .

Oh man, HHH nearly falling through the cell in the corner is a scary yet cool moment. Wonder if it was meant to be like that or not. Imagine if HHH fell through the corner and like, just landed on the floor? No reign of terror in 03! 

LOOK AT THESE TWO MEN. LOOK AT WHAT THEY’VE DONE TO EACH OTHERS’ BODIES!

OH MY GOD THAT 2X4 IN BARBED WIRE IS BURNING!

OH MY GOD! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! THE CAGE BROKE, THE RING BROKE, AND CACTUS JACK HAS BROKEN IN HALF!!!

I miss the ring breaking that way. When was the last time it happened? I can only remember the 2 times when the ring literally broke, but not like a hole in the mat. Oh yeah, Undertaker Vs Edge HIAC, right? And that was kinda done crappy. This is probably the best instance of it. Think it happened like 2 more times later in the year, both by Kane chokeslamming Undertaker .

Cactus is still moving! Damn, what a tough bastard. He won’t give up his lifelong dream like that.

Pedigree. Lifelong dream over. Great, great match no doubt, but I do feel the finish kinda falls flat (ha) after the cage bump. Probably should have ended with HHH pinning him there, rather than Cactus getting back up only to be punched a few times and then Pedigreed. Seemed unnecessary to me. But aside from that this match is tremendous. Not as good as the Street Fight, but damn this is a brutal battle.

Poor Kurt. Stumbles throughout his entire promo. It amuses me though.

Rikishi setting up 2 Cool and sending them out to do butt splashes in the corner always makes me smile. You know that video with… uhhh… dammit I can’t remember who exactly. Big Japanese star. Anyway, there’s a video with like, everyone all in a line to take a SLAP TO THE FACE from this guy, just because he’s a fucking legend. We should have something similar with everyone lined up so Rikishi can spank their arse and whip them into the corner for a running bum splash. Would be the greatest thing ever.

Comedy spot after comedy spot here, ending with quite possibly the biggest, the best, the single most awesome comedy moment in the history of wrestling…

GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! HIS PANTS CAME DOWN! AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, HIS WORM HIS SMALL!

Scotty jumping into the ring to laugh and make fun of GMS’ penis is amazing.

OMG I JUST NOTICED TEDDY LONG. He’s the referee. For a tag match. A six man tag match. I’m surprised he’s able to move around with the obvious hard on he’s got from being involved in this contest. I bet his worm isn’t small.

Angle gets a face full of the Kish’s Crack. Edge tries to show off his worm but Scotty’s beats him. ASS. WORM. PENIS. SEX.

End to the match is botched I think. Angle breaks up the pin but Teddy blows his load early and the match ends.

WHICH WAY DID HE GO? WHICH WAY DID HE GO?

Thinking about it, Show didn’t go anywhere. Like, quite literally. He gets taken out at the end of this match and gets stuck in OVW… which is conveniently located in the same place this PPV is taking place!

SHANE O’MAC. GIANT KILLER. SIMBA!

Big Show’s “entertaining” gimmick theme is terrible.

TODD FOGLE… IS A FAG!!! Ahh the days when signs weren’t confiscated.

Show is kicking Shane’s arse. Quite literally. Shane is doing the old Mr Perfect bumping thingy where he goes to all 4 sides of the ring and takes crazy backwards bumps. Not nearly as good as Mr Perfect but whatyagonnado?

BOSSMAN AND BUCHANAN. Big Show fucking POWERBOMBED THE BOSSMAN. T&A!!! WMD to the chairs! TRISH! FAP FAP! BIG SHOW TOSSES HER RIGHT ONTO THE FACE OF T&A.

Damn Show just looks fucking UNSTOPPABLE. Shane is getting mauled.

 Show breaks off part of the JD stage, and really makes it out like it takes effort to lift it up. Test comes along and just fucking rips it off the ground like it weighs bugger all… because, you know, it does.

In the end it takes T&A, Bossman & Buchanan, Shane, a night stick, a speaker box dropped on his leg and a concrete block smashed over his head to finally put away the giant. And now he’s off to OVW to learn how to work .

Chris Benoit Vs Chris Jericho – Intercontinental Championship Submission Match

Man, Benoit was booked as a badass heel back in the day. HE’S the fucking champion and HE issued the challenge for the match with the title on the line. None of that cowardly heel bullshit where he gets forced into a match. Shame he technically never existed .

You know what I like about this? I actually don’t remember who wins! Makes it a little more interesting to re-watch since I’ve forgotten the finish lol.

Fuck me, JR, the babyface announcer, is putting over Benoit, the heel, saying he perhaps favours the Crossface in this match!

JR: “Wait a minute… ARMBAR!” as Jericho applies an ARMBAR. Not sure if JR was making a reference to the ARMBAR promo, but the way he said it made it sound like he was lol. Make me smile either way lol .

This match is a SUBMISSION match. Where you can only win by SUBMISSION. So the obvious thing for people to do in a SUBMISSION match is try to apply SUBMISSION holds and win by SUBMISSION. Right? Well that’s EXACTLY what they do. I know it seems simple and obvious, but how many times do we get stipulation matches where guys ignore the stipulation until like, the actual finish? Here, pretty much EVERYTHING they do is a SUBMISSION hold, or is a focused attack on the body part/parts that better serve their own SUBMISSION hold. It’s smart, yes, and it’s also GOOD.

ALCOHOLIC JERICHOHOLIC!

Benoit is made to look even MORE badass by coming into this match with a fucking KNEE INJURY, wearing a brace and everything. If he wins, and I’m starting to think he does, then fuck, they really put Benoit over here lol. Guess they already had the FL main event planned out.

Love how Benoit knows the knee injury could easily fuck him over, so any time Jericho goes for a leg hold he fights for his fucking LIFE to escape. Hell the first leg hold he gets caught in is a modified Walls of Jericho in the ropes, something that you could say he wasn’t expecting and couldn’t counter in time because, well, who the fuck would know their opponent was gonna do THAT? And he still fights his way out of it in the end, and while Jericho sees an opportunity to finish him off afterwards, Benoit seems even MORE FOCUSED to avoid any kind of leg holds, and HE DOES. Knowing that he is in trouble though, the Crippler quickly gets the Crossface applied finally and Jericho PASSES OUT. ALL HAIL BENOIT AND THE MONSTROUS PUT OVER JOB THEY JUST DID!!!

So yeah this is fucking good. Always been a fan of it and I’m glad it help up . Benoit was just a fucking BEAST throughout.

Road Dogg & X-Pac Vs The Dudley Boys – Tag Team Tables Match

Loved the DX theme during this time. Liking this song is about as “hip” as I ever got. Why couldn’t I have been a teenager or something in the mid 70’s? I love all the Rock music that started around that time and into the 80’s. I’D HAVE BEEN SO FUCKING COOL .

The Dudley Boys bring their own table. And set it up near the top of the entrance ramp and just… leave it. No good all the way over there, guys! The Dudley Boys want to put Tori through a table. Wouldn’t mind giving her wood myself.

 Lawler is losing his mind. Only way to win this match is putting both opponents through a table. Last match was Submission only. So he asks if we’ve had a pin fall win so far tonight. Uhhh Jerry… first THREE matches. The previous match was the only one so far to not end in pin. You daft tit.

BUBBA’S GETTING WOOD AS WE SPEAK!!! While staring at Tori. LOL. Bubba Chubby.

One thing I hate about tag matches; the referees. They go into uber moron mode every damn time. Oh, a heel didn’t make a tag while I wasn’t looking but came into the ring anyway? That’s cool. WHAT THE FUCK BABYFACE GUY? I DIDN’T SEE YOU MAKE A TAG, YOU GET YOUR FAT ASS BACK ON THAT APRON UNTIL I TELL YOU YOU CAN ENTER THE FUCKING RING!!!

PUMPHANDLE DROP off the steel steps through a table! Take that, Devon!

 the referee gets too involved in the match, even though it’s NO FUCKING DQ, so Bubba and Road Dogg double hip toss him through a table! Road Dogg looks pleased then gets punched in the face. Dudley’s “win” the match but the ref is down. Ah well, time to put Tori through a table instead!

HARDCORE CHAMPION TIME! Brisco makes the save like a true hero, and Bubba goes through a table just as the referee wakes up to see it.

Fun stuff. Me likey. Better than their pile of utter shite dumpster/table match thingy.

 Brisco staying behind to give the DX chop to Bubba is hilarious. Then he goes through a table.

Triple H Vs The Rock – Special Guest Referee Shawn Michaels – 60 Minute WWF Title Iron Man Match

Who likes short shorts? Shawn likes short shorts! SMUGGLING BANANA SHORTS.

HHH wants to win the match by himself so he sends everyone away. BET THAT WILL LAST! 

 CHYNA IS MY DAD sign. She has a penis.

Who the fuck would have guessed I could sit through ONE HOUR of The Rock? And with HHH no less! Amazing that 2 guys I don’t really care for have such great chemistry together.

Lawler seems to be on top of his game throughout this, really adding to the match on commentary with his insight on lasting an hour in the ring and shit. Love him analysing the first 10 minutes or so of this match, explaining what’s smart to do and what isn’t and WHY.

Rock is like, actually pretty GOOD in this too. ROCK PRAISE ALERT! Don’t worry, it’s only 4pm. I’m not drunk. Yet. Yeah, this is probably Rock’s best match performance wise. Hmmm… well between this and WM 19 Vs Austin. Might give the nod to WM 19 because I prefer that match to this. But yeah, Rock is good. I like how HE is the one to really grasp the smart wrestling needed for an hour long match. Yeah, that’s probably how the match was laid out and shit, but still, Rock ran with his part and did extremely well.

Gets to the 30 minute mark and… RANDOM AE BRAWLING! Luckily both are knackered so they can’t really go at it on the outside like they normally would. We get a pretty sweet looking back body drop on the floor though. HBK decides not to bother with double countouts, and rightfully so because they are pointless in a match like this lol.

THREE COUNT FROM A PILEDRIVER. This is now the GOAT match. 

The falls are done really nicely in this one too. Some early falls happen from a Rock Bottom and a Pedigree. Finishers obviously. But as the time ticks away and both men become exhausted and worn down, we get falls from a Piledriver and a DDT. Both big impact moves, yeah, but by 2000 they were mostly just normal moves that most people did.

I also like how the falls play a part in how they structure the match too. Rock can retain on a draw, so HHH needs to make sure he’s always at least 1 up on The Rock no matter what. So when HHH decks Rock with a chair and busts him open, getting DQ’d but picking up a couple of quick wins (one with a SLEEPER. Perfect!) to put him ahead AND have The Rock worn down like fuck, it’s really a great piece of storytelling imo. I think that’s one (of the many) reasons the HBK/Bret Iron Man didn’t work. Not having any falls took away a lot of what they COULD have done.

PEDIGREE ON THE TABLE… BY THE ROCK! Table doesn’t break so HHH so smashes his face into it . He blades and gets counted up, with 3:50 left! Rock only needs one more win to tie and retain his title. THE MCMAHON’S ARE BACK! STEPHANIE AND HER FAPNESS! YEY!

2 and a half minutes left, Rock takes out the McMahon’s, Rock hits the spinebuster, the fans go crazy, Rock goes for the People’s Elbow… and I swear HBK teases hitting Sweet Chin Music lol. Oh god how glorious would that have been (for a second time)? So Rock evens the score, but HBK is taken out afterwards and…

NOW BACK FROM THE DEAD.

IT’S… MY GOD IT’S THE UNDERTAKER!!!    

The Undertaker absolutely annihilates the McMahon-Helmsley Faction, then takes down HHH with a chokeslam and a Tombstone! But HBK see’s the chokeslam before the bell rings and DQ’s The Rock… giving HHH another fall and the win overall! Lots of confusion over what happened at the end, but the home video version that was released in the UK (and the Tagged Classic DVD that I also have… and am watching this on lol) showed afterwards the clock counting down still while Undertaker chokeslams HHH AND shows HBK seeing it. No botch, nothing.

Undertaker’s reaction to the end is great + he chases down HBK to the back. Undertaker is back for a minute and already teasing a match with HBK .

Match is incredible still. Holds up more than I could have ever hoped. Not the best Iron Man match, which says a lot for the 2 I would put ahead of it (Lesnar/Angle and Rude/Steamboat). Rock puts in a career performance, HHH does too tbh. Undertaker return is EPIC. Not much I don’t like about this one.

The Hardy Boys & Lita Vs The Radicals – Elimination Match

LIIIITA FAP FAP FAP FAP LIIIITA. The cell is as low down as Lita’s trousers. But there be no thong poking out of the top, so LITA > HIAC.

Dayum, LITA looked amazing in that black dress she wore on the date with Malenko. Then DAYUM FAP FAP FAP at the outfit in the hotel room. Poor Dean. Wins a date with LITA legit, and those damn cock blocker Hardy Boys show up at the hotel room and attack Dean. I FEEL YOUR PAIN MALENKO.

Lol, Jeff flips over the ropes to get in the ring after a tag and he clears about 90% of the bloody ring! That be impressive.

Poor Eddie is the first to be eliminated after LITA gives him a Twist of Fate and Jeff Swantons him.

Kinda odd that they have an elimination tag match on PPV… a month after Survivor Series, the show that used to be based around elimination tag matches. Not the first time they’ve done this, and not the last though. Remember 2010? SummerSlam had that huge 7 on 7 WWE Vs Nexus Elimination Tag Match… then come Survivor Series… nothing. LOL.

Saturn gets eliminated and Terri shows her ass. Malenko rolls up Matt and now its down to Malenko and LTA. LITA in her blue thong and red lipstick. And slutty top that really shows off her tits. Why couldn’t this be an Iron Man match? 

LITA holds her own (she can hold mine too if she wants  ) against Malenko and very nearly wins, but in the end she taps out to a Cloverleaf.

A nothing match really, but the last part with Malenko Vs LITA was cool, and this match has LITA looking HOT so I liked it .

William Regal Vs Hardcore Holly – European Championship Match

2 PPV’s in a row for these 2? Really? Makes sense to happen on this show with Holly being from Alabama, and with Crash winning the title from Regal last week only for Regal to cheat to win it back… but why Survivor Series? Whatevers. Better than a series of Naked Mideon matches.

 at Regal calling the arena animal fuckers.

 at Lawler making sheep noises throughout the match. I think we just discovered WOOLCOCK’S favourite match.

Lawler asks JR to compare the people from Sheffield (where the UK PPV was the week before) to the people in Alabama, their manners and shit. Uhhh… probably best to NOT open up that can of worms, Lawler .

Raven shows up and DDT’s Holly and Regal gets the win. I… have no idea. At all. No memory of why that happened. This match was eh.

Chris Jericho Vs Kane – Last Man Standing

Again, this feud started over COFFEE.

They managed to surprise me at Survivor Series and had the MOTN there. Can the LMS do just as well? Probably not, but hey, I can hope and shit, right?

Woo, less than 1 minute into the match and they go backstage. And we don’t get a camera in place for about another minute. Yey.

 somehow Mideon gets caught up in the brawl and gets smacked about by both guys before they go back to each other.

Urgh. LMS was the worst gimmick they could have given this. Their SS match was great because it was a straight up fucking FIGHT, but the LMS gimmick keeps slowing down the action for those attempted 10 counts. Not to say that ALWAYS ruins a match because Jericho himself had a GREAT LMS match earlier in the year, but it just didn’t work here at all. Should have been a street fight or something. Just let them FIGHT with no pointless rest spots.

Kane takes the worst DDP ever. He just bends over and smashes his hands on the mat then falls over sideways to the mat. Urgh.

I swear Teddy Long’s “6” sounds just like a “10”.

Finish is shitty. They do that whole “drop something heavy to keep the big man down” thing but of course they have to do it in a way that’s safe… but making it safe also makes it look fake as shit. We KNOW Kane isn’t crushed under there because there is a gap the size of Darren Young’s arsehole for Kane to sit in.

Boring, slow, disappointing.

Edge & Christian Vs The Dudley Boys Vs The Goodfather & Bull Buchanan Vs Road Dogg & K-Kwik – WWF Tag Team Championship Match

 at Christian’s face when Road Dogg & K-Kwik come to the ring signing. Pretty much sums up how I felt too.

Super fun spot with Road Dogg doing his Shake, Rattle and Roll punches, at the same time Bubba does his version. They are both about to land the final blow to Edge & Christian respectively, but notice what each other is doing and blast each other in the face instead! E&C cover each guy hoping for a win but they kick out. I like random shit like that. Makes me smile .

Yawn, K-Kwik is the major FIP for this match. He’s as dull in 2000 as is he in 2013.  he really hasn’t improved in the slightest over the last 13 years.

Best part of K-Kwik FIP is when he tags out. Not just because he’s not in the match any more, but just how it’s done. He edges over to Road Dogg, but Christian pulls Dogg off the apron to avoid the tag, so K-Kwik ducks under a clothesline from Edge and tags in BUBBA on the other side instead! RTC/Road Dogg & K-Kwik all take each other out on the outside, leaving those damn Dudleys and E&C to go at it for the belts.

I THINK BUBBA’S GOT WOOD… … … ON HIS MIND!

I THINK DEVON’S GOT WOOD IN HIS HAND!

 Bubba botched the 3-D.

E&C pick up the win and become tag champs yet again .

This is fun for the most part. Could have done with someone else as the FIP but there was some good shit before then and the whole finishing stretch is super.

They show about 5 “HIAC moments” throughout the night to hype the dangers of HIAC… and 3 of them are from the HHH/Cactus match from earlier in the year. Because, you know, they didn’t have any others to use .

Billy Gunn Vs Chris Benoit – Intercontinental Championship Match

Finally, someone with potential on paper. Yeah, a Billy Gunn match with potential. I said it. I wouldn’t call him great but he was decent. And Benoit is fucking BENOIT so a decent opponent for him is like the equivalent of Rock working Flair in his prime. If you get my meaning. I do but I don’t know if I explained it right. Benoit is pretty good.

HE KNOWS WHERE TO TOUCH YOU.

Benoit targets the leg, which even JR questions given that Gunn had shoulder surgery earlier in the year and the Crossface makes use of bad shoulders…

 at Gunn botching a tilt a whirl backbreaker. They blame it on the knee but in reality Billy just didn’t catch Benoit properly .

Match overall is… not that good. Benoit works the leg instead of the shoulder, Billy hits all of his power moves and shit despite his leg being worked over, then Benoit wins with the Crossface anyway. This is Malenko working the arm of Rey Mysterio levels of stupidity. And nowhere near as fun because it doesn’t have Rey.

Kurt Angle Vs The Undertaker Vs Steve Austin Vs Rikishi Vs Triple H Vs The Rock – WWF Championship Hell in a Cell Match

Ahh, the days when they could do multiman matches with everyone involved being credible contenders. Yeah, even Rikishi at the time. Nowadays they struggle to give us a triple threat where all 3 are credible. Sometimes the CHAMPION isn’t credible ffs. But here we have 6 guys. SIX.

Trips still using the evil version of My Time. Undertaker debuts Rollin here I believe. They haven’t quite got the edit down yet though lol.

 at JR when talking about The Undertaker: THIS MAN DOESN’T HAVE LIMP BISCUIT LET ME TELL YOU.

BLOODY HELL. Rock was definitely popular as fuck in 2000, no doubt about it, but Austin’s pop was UNREAL and made Rock’s sound like utter silence.

 is there something I don’t know about Lloyds of London insurers? Because JR blasts them at one point when they are discussing why McMahon is worried about everyone’s health in the match and it being to do with money and shit. Lawler wonders if even Lloyds of London would insure a HIAC match and JR fires back with some passion that “well sometimes they’re pretty STUPID” .

So for the most part the match is like some weird sex party where everyone switches partners after a while, with only 2 getting to use the bed (the ring, duh. Uhhh… the wrestling ring, that is) at a time.

What is the Rock made of btw? Just curious because any time he hits the mat he just seems to BOUNCE back up. And not in a cool “taking a bump” way… but in a weird “how does that even work” way . It’s like he’s wrestling on a bouncy castle but nobody else is affected by it.

Vince eventually shows up with a truck and rips the door off, then tries to take the rest apart but Foley runs them off. Now the truck, complete with padding in the back is waiting conveniently for NO REASON AT ALL HONEST.

Police take Vince away, as he screams that this is his show and he owns it and shit. Which makes me wonder how Foley is able to do it because, well, Vince is RIGHT lol. He’s the fecking CHAIRMAN of the company, and Foley is just the commissioner of the show. WRESTLING LOGIC~!

With the door now gone, everyone spills out of the HIAC… just because I guess. Results in some cool brawling, along with a great spot where Austin uses a camera to smash HHH’s knee, and we get a replay of it from the actual camera lol. Then Austin’s face gets smashed through a car window. Ha.

PEDIGREE TO THE ROCK ON TOP OF A CAR. Shame Rock sucks at taking a Pedigree lol. Not just on a car either, which I could understand, but he just plain sucks at taking that move.

WWE need to have more interesting stage sets like this again. All the broken cars and barrels and shit everywhere made for some cool MAYHEM (remember that game? Was awesome. Played it to DEATH until Smackdown came out).

HHH climbs the cage to escape Austin, so Austin climbs up the other side. Because, you know, the only place to get away from someone safely is to climb a great height with nowhere else to go. WRESTLING LOGIC~!

Angle has the same thought as he climbs the cage to escape Undertaker. Who is like, THE WORST GUY to have follow you on top of the cell given his history lol. Kurt Angle, Olympic MORON.

Speaking of morons, why on EARTH would Rikishi of all people think that climbing the cage is a good idea. He’s 400+lb, he can barely climb the damn thing, not the best escape plan. PLUS he’s trying to escape THE ROCK. LOL.

Undertaker threatens the time keeper and gets a chair thrown up, while Rock, surprisingly, is the only smart guy in the match as he doesn’t even bother to climb the cage after Rikishi lol.

Does make me laugh that the build up for this match + stuff during the match is all about how Vince is worried about the financial loss if one of his top stars gets injured during this match… and then the guy that DOES take the big bump is… RIKISHI! And everyone is like “eh, he didn’t draw shit so fuck him” . Anyway, padding or not, it was still a pretty awesome bump for a guy the size of Rikishi to take. THE ONLY ONE MAN ENOUGH. Rock wasn’t even man enough to climb to the top. CORWARDLY CUNT. And as a result Rock is the one that gets pinned to end the match and help Angle retain the title. FUCK YOU ROCK.

Tons and tons and tons of fun. 6 guys, everyone with some kind of history with each other aside from Undertaker and Rikishi (until the cell bump in this match lol), all trying to MURDER each other to gain the WWF Title. No complaints from me here. Always did like this match and still do.
