Survivor Series 2000

[JoeDirt 0]

So I got a good deal on a Survivor Series 2000 DVD today and bought it. Now before I watch it, anyone have any thoughts? I know this is the show with the stupid "drop HHH from the forklift" shit, but I remember hearing Rock/Rikishi and Angle/Taker were surprisingly good. Anyone remember the show?

[JoeDirt 0]

Of course I could watch it and decide _myself_, but what fun would that be!

I thought this was the worst Survivor Series of them all.

Dammit!

It's not THAT bad. 1999 was terrible, so was 1997 (but of course, had a famous moment)

 

Intergender Tag was decent

Radicalz/DX V.3.0 was decent as well

Jericho/Kane I remember beeing good

Rikishi/Rock was bleh

Austin/HHH was entertaining with a bad finish

UT/Angle was bad. BAD. BAD. Terrible ending.

E&C/RTC v. Duds/Hards was good

 

And seeing Lita bleed is nice to see if you don't like her.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Rikishi/Rock is alright, and Taker/Angle is better than the Fully Loaded match, but has a terrible ending and doesn't even come close to touching the Smackdown match from shorly after Summerslam.

 

The Survivor Series matches are way too short and rushed, although the Radicals/DX match is the better of the two.

 

The Women's match is notable for Lita getting busted open and nothing else.

 

I can't even remember much about the opener, which means it is probably the same as any other match of its type.

 

Jericho/Kane is good if you like Jericho being made to look like a jobber, otherwise forget it.

 

Austin was worthless before his match with Benoit on RAW where he remembered how to work again, and it is easily the worst main event of the year (even moreso than the 6-Man at KOTR).

 

Holly/Regal is not nearly as good as the one they had at Armaggeddon (which wasn't great either, but watchable).

 

1999 was pretty bad too, but it didn't piss me off like 2000 did. At least Big Show winning the title was something surprising. Survivor Series 2000 is just like a big RAW promoting Armaggeddon which was the bigger show.

I'm with Kahran on this, I hated this Survivor Series. It's one of the few times I felt cheated after a PPV (only other time I remember is KOTR '99 - no surprise ; and a few WCW PPVs which were so bad I can't even remember which ones right now). I tend to give 1999 a pass because of Austin's injury and the new creative team, although they had enough time from Russo's departure to produce something.

This PPV was so awful, its not even part of my DVD collection.

Hey, I was at that show. It was pretty bad, in fact I don't think I even bothered watching it later to see myself on camera.

Where were you sitting RatsMilk?

Isn't that where Taker wore those snazzy brown grandpa pants?

Like the 50th row. I don't think I would have gotten on camera unless it was one of the sweeping crowd shots or a close up for some reason. If you see somebody with a crudely scribbled Steve Blackman sign, that's my brother and I'm sitting next to him.

Cool deal, man. I was sitting in one of the suites due to a connection that I have unfortunately the show itself did suck for the most part.

Yup. What was the deal with that!?

[Caliban 0]

What I remember most from this Survivor Series is I think one of the women gets busted open, I think that is the first time I have ever seen a woman bleed that wasn't on Casualty.

 

Rock/Rikishi is a fun, short match, Rock totally shows he can carry an opponent in this match. HHH/Austin is a decent enough match, but nothing mindblowing.

It was the PPV that really signalled the end of the reallt tight booking the then WWF had all year.

 

The whole card is really just nothing that matters or stuff that had been seen before.

Let's not forget who booked the entire show.

 

 

 

*munch munch munch*

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Let's not forget wHHHo booked the entire show.

Stephanie McMahon, making the "HHH" reference in the "whhho" thing pointless.

 

Saying (munch munch munch) at the end would have made more sense.

[SteakGrowsOnUecker 0]

The match of the night to me was Rock/Rikishi, I thought the buildup for it and the beginning of the match had some great heat to it. But other than that match the event did fall flat and was pointless in the scheme of things.

 

But hey...Triple H cheating death is always entertaining.

[Kardo 0]

My brother fell asleep during Angle/Taker, that says alot to the entertainment during that match.

[Chazz 0]

Wasn't this The PPV In which Stephanie McMahon took over as Head of Creative? Ah yes, the beginning of the end.

[Guest Anglesault]

Isn't that where Taker wore those snazzy brown grandpa pants?

That made the show for me.

Yes, Undertaker's pants (I mentioned those somewhere else just recently, didn't I?) and HHH no-selling death were low points of the show, as well as Cole calling SS matches "Classic Survivor Series matches."

While Survivor Series did take a sharp downfall from the previous 10 PPVs of that year. It wasn't terrible. In fact, I liked it better than the next months Armageddon with its atrocious 6 man hell in a cell.

Survivor Series 2000 was obviously bad, but Armageddon 2000 was so much worse that two seniors in one of my classes back then (I was a freshman at the time) talked about how much the PPV sucked and one of them only mentioned Rikishi falling off onto the truck with hay on it and then they didn't really talk about the PPV anymore. They weren't even smarks, either, although it was the same PPV that had every face except Jericho losing, so that might explain it.
