Movie Reviews of WWE Summerslam 2000Movie Review: A Good ppv from 2000 Summary: 4 StarsSummerslam is one of the better ppv's from 2000. This ppv hosted the first ever TLC match and Shane McMahon falling from the top of the titantron.
1. Right to Censor vs. Too Cool & Rikishi
This was an alright opener. Scotty 2 Hotty was on fire during this match, he looked pretty good. Nice opener with a slick end. 3/5
2. Road Dogg vs. X-Pac
This match was put here to end whatever was left of DX at the time. They put on a decent match up with a couple of counters and reversals. A good match but nothing that will be remembered. 3.5/5
3. IC Title
Val Venis & Trish Stratus vs. Eddie Guerrero & Chyna
This is one that will surprise you. On paper it doesn't look all that but it was pretty good to watch. Eddie & Chyna worked pretty well with each other as a tag team. It was mostly all Eddie, Chyna, & Val but Trish got a couple of shots in. Another good match right here. 3.5/5
4. Tazz vs. Jerry "the King" Lawler
I have to say this match is the weakest on the card. Tazz was mostly taunting JR throughout the whole match with a little wrestling happening in the ring. Not a good match but JR did get some payback on Tazz. 2/5
5. Hardcore Title
Shane McMahon vs. Steve Blackmon
This match wasn't your typical Shane match. Shane mostly runs from Blackmon the whole time and just getting in little cheap shots here and there. Blackmon just wears out Shane and using his kung fu martial arts techniques to beat shane down. Test & Albert would come out on Shane's behalf and try to help shane. The highlight of this match is of course when Shane falls from the titantron after getting hit by a kendo stick from Blackmon. Decent match at best though. 3/5
6. 2 out of 3 Falls
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho
I feel that this match right here is a forgotten classic match from these two. The match started out very physical and just got more physical as the match went on. The falls came at perfect times. Benoit and Jericho wrestled a great match with a lot of good counters and wrestling. This match to me is the match of the night. Awesome match. 5/5
7. TLC Match for the Tag Team Titles
Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz
What a match! There was nothing but pure excitement from this match all the way through. All 3 teams really upped their game then from their match at Wrestlemania 16. Bodies were crashing through tables and falling from ladders everywhere. Just a great and exciting match. 5/5
Thong Stinkface Match
Terri w/ Perry Saturn vs. The Kat w/ Al Snow
Not a match by any means. Just here for pure entertainment and to spice things up in the ppv. The Kat wins.
8. Undertaker vs. Kane
This was just an unsanctioned fight where Taker trys to unmask Kane throughout the match. They just brawled the hell out of each other and using everything they could including steel chairs and the steel steps. This doesn't compare to their previous encounters but its worth a watch. A nasty fight. It finally ends once Taker indeed unmasks Kane. 3.75/5
9. WWE Title
The Rock vs. Kurt Angle vs. Triple H
Before the match got underway, Angle made a comment towards hhh & stephanie whiched POed the game to the core. Triple h came out ready to end Angle's career and he almost did just that. HHH would try to go for the pedigree on Angle through the announce table when the table collapses on them which nearly gave Angle a severe concussion. The Rock and Triple h would then fight for the majority of the match with Angle being taken out. Angle however does make a comeback and almost wins the title. A pretty good triple threat match but nothing out of the ordinary besides the table crash. 4.5/5
I say summerslam is one of the best from 2000. Its a good show to check out.
Summary of WWE Summerslam 2000Let's be honest: fans of the WWF love a good soap opera as much as, if not more than, the matches they produce. If that's the case, SummerSlam 2000 must rank as one of the great WWF pay-per-views in the last several years. At the center is the climax of the infamous love triangle that Vince McMahon and his gaggle of writers concocted during the year 2000. The main event here is a triple-threat match for the WWF title, held by the Rock, but really, his presence is secondary to the other two men involved, Triple H and Kurt Angle. For these two men, it's personal, as both are in love with the same woman, Triple H's wife, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. This DVD goes to great lengths to document the history leading up to the match, and it's essential to enjoying the PPV. Also, other histories are included, lending the soap-opera feel to all of the matches. While the tremendous main event is reason enough to buy this DVD, other smaller matches fortify it. For example, you get the boss's son, Shane McMahon, falling 50 feet from a support beam. You get an announcer getting involved in a match and smashing a glass jar in a wrestler's face. Oh yeah, and there's also some impressive old-school wrestling... but, really, who cares about wrestling when you're watching a wrestling match in the WWF? --Dave McCoy
