WWF Summerslam 2000 Review
Hello I am Ben Mawson and welcome to my second summerslam review and it is summerslam 2000, this was a rollercoaster of emotions with great spots one moment and not so good moments at other points through out the show. Let’s just go into it.
Right To Censor Vs. Too Cool
This match is mostly just Too Cool getting beat up until Rikishi comes in and the only reason that Right to Censor won is due to a cheap pin that wasn't very good.
Thoughts: This match is only really good at the bit where Rikishi comes in but the rest is just plain old boring tag match. This isn’t the best start to a Summerslam.

X-Pac Vs. Road Dogg
This is a classic case of friendly rivalry turned bitter and this results in a rather ok match, it also has some good showboating added into the mix, after the match X-Pac goes to help Road Dogg up but Road Dogg turns on him adding a little more showboating to further anger X-Pac.
Thoughts: This is a suprisingly ok match with some great technical and exciting wrestling with the added advantage of the, being former tag partners as still are both members of DX so it's like fighting themselves, the end is a little disappointing as X-Pac wins because of the low blow.
Quickly before we move on to the next match, I must say the commenters are alot better than the 1991 commenters in my last summerslam review with big steak loving Jim Ross even plugging his favourite steakhouse (Vinnies Steakhouse &Tavern) which I Google and is still open 19 years later and recently received the Dinners Choice Award for 2019, so there's your daily steak fact for you, Anyway back to the show.

Eddie Guerrero & Chyna Vs. Val Venis & Trish Stratus
This is a weird match as it's a Intergender tag team match for the Intercontinental championship, so let's be honest that says it all and out of everyone it's Chyna that wins the belt to become new champion.
Thoughts: I’m going to fully honest with you, I enjoyed this match alot, its actually a really entertaining match and believe it or not but some good wrestling.

Jerry Lawler Vs. Tazz
If you seen my last summerslam review then you know I like my promo packages and to my surprise this one was very dramatic and actually made me look forward to the match starting.
Thoughts: And to my ever bigger surprise this is a damn good match with a good ending of JR hitting tazz over the head with a glass jar allowing Jerry lawler to win the match as the ref didn't see the jar incident.

Shane McMahon Vs. Steve Blackman (Hardcore Match; WWF Hardcore Championship)
This is the match with Shane's big fall from the huge metal supports of the stage, also test and Albert try to give Shane the win but Blackman is like nope and beats them up.
Thoughts: if it wasn't for Shane's big fall then this match would be another forgotten relic of the past.

Chris Jericho Vs. Chris Benoit (2 Out Of 3 Falls Match)
If you’re into the more technical side of wrestling this match is for you, however if you’re looking for an exciting match that will have you on the end of your seats then try our next match instead.
Thoughts: This was just too bland for me personally but it had some good wrestling just nothing out of the ordinary.

Edge & Christian (C) Vs. The Dudley Boyz Vs. The Hardy Boyz (TLC Match; WWF Tag Team Championships)
Now this is the match I've been waiting for, my favourite match of all time and no matter how many times I watch it it doesn't get any less exciting, the fact that it's a TLC match also just adds to the high intensity drama and you just can't call this absolute battle of three tag team titans at any moment and that's why I love it so much.
Thoughts: Bloody F**king brilliant not only my favourite match of all time but I think the best WWE match to ever take place along with the other match with these three tag teams at wrestlemania and the one with Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit on an episode of Smackdown.

The Kat Vs. Terri (Stinkface Match)
This was a weird match to say the least, it was a thong stink face match that is over really quickly, it must only last around 2 mins at most.
Thoughts: Jerry Lawler makes this match far too creepy with his constant sex jokes and references to the point it's not even funny anymore.

Kane Vs. The Undertaker (No Disqualification Match)
Technically this isn't a match as the bell never sounded and this is really one massive brawl that is pretty good in the end.
Thoughts: this is a good brawl that ends in the Undertaker pulling Kanes mask off.

The Rock (C) Vs. Triple H Vs. Kurt Angle (WWF Championship)
Before the match even started Triple H brutally beat up Kurt Angle for kissing his wife on a past raw episode he ended the assault but putting him through an announcement table, then rock came out at it was kind of a 1v1 for a while. The match then spreads to the ramp as triple H run after kurt angle who is being taken away on a stretcher but the rock stops his and takes him back to the ring. Meanwhile stephanie McMahon co estate out to check on kurt to hunter's dislike. Stephanie is then told by her husband to get the belt and hit the rock but he moves and she hits her husband Instead, this results In the rock going after her but triple H low blows him. She is then sent to the back by triple H.
After around 15 mins of rock and triple H fighting Stephanie then convinces kurt angle to HELP triple H. But kurt turns on him no surprise there. Stephanie gets in the ring to hold kurt still for triple H to punch him but kurt moves and triple H hits his wife. The rock takes advantage and retains the title. After the match, Kurt then carried Stephanie away from the broken body of Triple H.
Thoughts: Great match filled with exciting moments from start to finish. You just didn't want this brutal battle to end at any moment, 5 star match no doubt
Rating: 8
