Movie Reviews of WWE Summerslam 2000
Movie Review: Sizzling hot event with thrilling action throughout
Summary: 5 Stars
Summerslam 2000 was a memorable event with lots of hot and exciting action. All the matches had been built up well, the storylines were enjoyable and overall it was just an exciting event to watch. The main event sees Triple H and Kurt Angle battling the Rock in a thrilling triple threat match for the WWE title. There is plenty of stuff on the undercard too, such as the incredible TLC match involving the Dudleys, Hardys and Edge and Christian dueling for tag team gold, and The Undertaker looking for revenge on Kane after his many vicious attacks. There are 10 quality matches, with 4 titles on the line. I will review each match and rate it out of five :Rikishi and Too Cool vs. The Right to Censor: Uneventful opener with some sloppy sequences and blown spots. Watchable but not the excellent opener this event needed to keep people watching. At least it is somehwhat short.
X-Pac vs. Road Dogg: Good effort by both involved with some compelling technical wrestling. It was backed up by a decent storyline but the crowd were pretty quiet for it. Never mind, at least it was a good match.
Intercontinental Championship Intergender Tag Match - Trish and Val Venis vs. Eddie Guerrero and Chyna: Eh, decent but not mindblowing. Provides some humour and good grappling from Eddie and Val. The ladies, however, are dreadful in the ring in this battle.
I thought this event was in complete trouble at this time, but I would be wrong later...
Jerry Lawler vs. Tazz: Very short but nevertheless entertaining. Lots of moves done in the limited time they were given and it really picks up near the end in terms of excitement. Very good overall.
Hardcore Championship - Steve Blackman vs. Shane McMahon: Excellent hardcore battle considering a non-worker was involved and some nasty shots with trashcans, street signs, belts etc. Shane takes an incredible match end bump which has to be seen to be believed.
2 out of 3 falls Match - Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho: Another fantastic bout with both men pulling out all the stops in a wicked brawl. A mix of old school grappling and submission wrestling made for a great match.
Tables, Ladders and Chairs Tag Team Championship Match - The Hardy Boyz vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. Edge and Christian: Blinding bout with many crazy stunts and exciting sequences. Breathtaking match overall, as these men all put their bodies on the line in a truly incredible battle.
Thong Stinkface Match - Terri vs. The Kat: I am not complaining about these ladies wrestling in thongs but this match was abysmal. Absolutely terrible and only served as a little light releif after the stonker before it. Still, the fact both looked great moves the grade up a bit.
Undertaker vs. Kane: This was not even a match as the the bell did not ring and the two men just had a flat out, weapon filled brawl. Kane gets a nasty cut and bleeds, while both hammer each other with chairs, steel steps and more. Ok battle, would of liked it better if it was a proper match and had a finish. ...
WWE Championship - The Rock vs. Kurt Angle vs. Triple H: Brilliant way to end the event as the action is hot, the angle is exciting and this match is a thrilling way to end a mindblowing event. Stephanie gets involved at the end, and leads up to a very exciting finish....
Overall this was one of the best wrestling shows I have ever witnessed. It got off to a bad, sloppy start but soon got much better. I would definately recommend buying as it is worth watching more than once. I really enjoyed this event and am pretty sure most people out there will also. Very entertaining 2 1/2 hours overall, so go and buy. Now!!!
Overall Score - Five Stars ....
Movie Review: The best ppv of 2000
Summary: 5 Stars
Now even though the year 2000 had some good ppvs; like wrestlmania, royal rumble, and armageddon, this is still the best of them all. Each match was entertaining, although some are a lot better than others. Three matches will be remembered for the rest of wwe history, and this DVD is definately worth your money.
The opener has Too Cool and Rikishi vs. Right To Censor: This was a good match, not too long, yet the ending was kinda of a cheap one as Steven Richars kicks Scotty 2 Hotty in the face. The two women at ringside are sort of fun to watch because they try to hit the members of RTC when they fall out of the ring. A decent opener. 7.5/10
X-Pac vs. Road Dogg: Come on, this match could have been way better than what it was. These two have so much talent, yet they are no longer in the WWE. Road Dogg is on TNA and X-Pac has disappeared. The crowd was kinda dead in this one. 7/10
Shane McMahon vs. Steve Blackman: A good hardcore match, even Test and Albert didn't mess it up. Trash cans, trash can lids, street signs, and kendo sticks were used. The ending was good as Shane falls 60 feet from the top of the stage set. Then Blackman jumps 40 feet above right onto him. A great match. 8/10
The King vs. Tazz: This was the right amount of time in my opinion, and JR was great when he smashed the glass jar on Tazz's head. The crowd woke up after 5 minutes in this one. A good match yet sort of a card filler. 7.5/10
Val Venis and Trish vs. Eddie and Chyna: This was a good card filler and Chyna becomes champion. Trish looked good in this match, I'm not talking about wrestling, and Eddie looked good too, I am talking about wrestling. A good entertaining match where a female becomes intercontinental champion. 8/10
The Undertaker vs. kane: This was a good brawl, some weapons were used, and the intensity was good also. The Undertaker continued to go for kane's mask for payback after what Kane did to him a few weeks prior to it. The Undertaker eventually grabs the mask off and wins since kane refused to fight. 8/10
Thong stink face match: A waste of good time. Terri looked good though, yet Perry Saturn wrecked a lot of moments in this match. Only okay if you watch it everyonce in a while. 6/10
Triple Threat match for the wwf championship: An awsome match, Kurt and Triple H fight before the match even starts and Triple H tries to pedigree Kurt on the announce table, but it breaks under their weight. Then the rock comes out and its him and Triple H fighting during most of the match. Then Stephanie drags kurt back out and thats when everyone gets hit by either the sledgehammer or each other. The ending is great also. 10/10
First Ever Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match: This was off the page. All three teams took risks no one would even dream of back then. The Hardy boys really shine in this match as they take some of the biggest bumps ever [When Jeff did the Swantan Bomb off the 20 foot ladder and when Matt fell backwards off the ladder through two tables.} When the Dudley boys bring out the tables, that is when the match really goes to another level. Even Lita gets involved when she pushes Edge and Christian off the 20 foot ladder. At the end the crowd gives them all a standing ovation which is rightfully deserved. When Jeff and D-von are on the ladder that is a great suspensful moment. 15/10
If you don't have this DVD I will forgive you when you buy this one. You can thank me later.
Movie Review: This was AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
Summerslam 2000 was a great lineup that had its mix of great and poor matches, so it was very well rounded. The great matches make up for the crappy ones...let's begin!
Match #1 Right to Censor vs. Too Cool and Rikishi: Like I said, there were some poor matches in here...just look at who was in this match...RTC wins (Richards pins Scotty). 5/10
Match # 2 Road Dogg vs. X-Pac: Another poor match...don't have to say much here...X-Pac wins. 5/10
Match #3 Intergender Tag match for the IC Title Chyna and Eddie Guererro vs. Val Venis (c) and Trish Startus: This actually wasn't too bad, except for the ending. Val tried to stay in the whole match, but ended up tagging in Trish and she was pummeled by Chyna. Chyna wins the title...if they were gonna give it to someone new, it should have been Eddie. Val Venis joins RTC sometime after this...7/10
Match #4 Tazz vs. Jerry Lawler: This was GREAT!!! King pile drives Tazz! Tazz looks in the Tazzmission but then JR to the rescue...he braks a glass candy jar over Tazz's head giving King the pin. 8/10
Match #5 Steve Blackman vs. Shane McMahon (c) for the Hardcore Title: This was also a decent match...but I've never been a fan of Steve Blackman so it did nothing for me. Shane O'Mac is the MAN and took one of the sickest bumps EVER in this match!!! You have to see it! Blackman wins. 8/10
Match #6 Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho best 2/3 falls: If only this was about 5 minutes longer it would have been one of the greatest matches ever!!! Benoit makes Jericho submit, Jericho makes Benoit submit, then Benoit reverses a roll up and grabs the ropes to get the third fall! AWESOME! Benoit WINS!!! 10/10
Match #7 E & C (c) vs. The Dudleyz vs. The Hardyz in a TLC match for the WWF Tag Team titles: This was a TLC match so ofcourse it was good! Don't really remember too many highlights, but E & C retain! This was billed as the first ever TLC match but we all know that the match at WM 16 was basically the same thing. 9/10
Match #8 Terri w/ Perry Saturn vs. The Kat w/ Al Snow in a Thong Stinkface match: Who was the heel and face here? Anyways, TOTAL & utter CRAP!!! Kat stinkfaces terri which was garbage...Terri is so much HOTTER!!! 2/10
Match #9 Undertaker vs. Kane: This sucked! The match never even started and it was a no contest. Taker rips Knae's mask off, but you can clearly see no burns or sacrs or anything wrong with his face, HAHA! 5/10
Match #10 The Rock (c) vs. HHH vs. Kurt Angle for the WWF Title: AWESOME!!! This was a great match! We should have known Rock would retain because Kurt and HHH were just thrown in here due to the Stephanie love triangle. Kurt was taken out by HHH before the match even started! Rock and HHH put on a great clinic until Stephania brought Kurt back out to help HHH. But Kurt "shocked" everyone by trying to get the title himself (haha). The ending was great where HHH went to hit Kurt, but knocked Steph out instead. Then Kurt knocked HHH out the the sledgehammer. Rock takes out Kurt and gets the pin after the people's elbow! Rock retains and Kurt carries Stephanie off into the sunset, LMAO! 10/10 one of the most entertaining matches I've ever seen!
Summerslam gets a 69/100 which is a D, but don't take it that way. If you watch the good matches, you won't regret buying this DVD...I sure don't!!! Get THIS!!!
Movie Review: one of the better ppv's
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of the better PPVs that Ive seen. Also, the live audience was incredibly into almost all of the matches. It makes watching a little bit more interesting when the crowd responds to the action. The crowd was very into it, and it was interesting to see how much they responded to some wrestlers. Right To Censor Vs Too Cool / Rikishi: When I started watching wrestling, it was in the fall of 2000. I never saw too much of interest from any of these guys, but the audience was very hot for the action, actively booing RTC and cheering heavily for Rikishi. The match itself was decent, not worth the audience reaction it got. Ive seen better opening matches.
X-Pac Vs Road Dogg: At the time, Road Dogg and X-Pac were members of Degeneration X but were beginning to feud because of an incident in a tag team match where Road Dogg left X-Pac to be taken out. The match had some entertaining spots, but as a whole it was short and under-whelming.
Mixed Tag Match Val Venis (C) &Trish Stratus Vs Chyna &Eddie Guerrero: Venis was the Intercontinental Champion, but the stipulation was that if either Chyna or Eddie got the pin (even if it was on Trish), that individual would win the belt. I was rather bored for this match. The only thing that interested me was watching Eddie wrestle, but this was fairly blah and ended exactly how you would expect.
Tazz Vs Jerry "the King"Lawer: This was junk. While Lawler is rightly a legend in the business, he fails to entertain in the ring (or as an announcer). As it stands, this match was more about Tazz and J.R. than it was about the ringwork.
The Kat Vs Terri Thong Stink Face Match: Even worse than the last match. This has no place in wrestling as there was no actual wrestling.
Shane (C)Vs Blackman Hardcore Title Match: For a man who is not an everyday wrestler, Shane McMahon never fails to entertain when he steps in the ring. Steve Blackman, amazingly enough, also did a good job at working this match and entertaining. The big thing about this match is the fall Shane took off a 50ft support tower and the elbow Blackman followed that fall with.
TLC Match Hardys Vs Dudleys Vs Edge&Christian (c) for the Tag Team Championship: This was the very first Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. Like the 4 that I have seen, it was incredible. The risks that these men take to entertainunbelievable.
Two out of Three Falls Chris Jericho vs Chris Benoit: This was one of the better feuds that I can remember. Jericho and Benoit have always worked well together, and had there not been a TLC match, this would have been the match of the night.
Undertaker vs Kane: The Undertaker took off Kanes mask. Junk match.
Triple Threat for the WWF Championship - The Rock (c) Vs Kurt Angle vs Triple H: Its hard to get excited for the main event match when it feels like a sideshow the the Kurt Angle/Stephanie McMahon/HHH love triangle. The match itself was quite good, but it even in the wrestling, it played second fiddle to the story. Very good match, but it didnt quite live up to my expectations (perhaps unreasonably high.
Overall, this is one of the better WWF DVDs that Ive seen.

Steven Richards is an idiot but he does a cool kneel down powerbomb. RTC win thanks to Steven Richards and a Super Kick. Entertaining Match.

Not a Bad Match. They do some cool moves and X Pac wins with a low blow and an X Factor and gets a Pumphandle Drop for his win.
7.5/10
3-Intergender Tag Team Intercontinental Championship Match
Val Venus (Champion) and Trish vs Eddie Guerrero(RIP) and Chyna
A Good solid match and even though it is intergender, they really pull it off. Both these Chicks are super Hot which gives the Match an Extra Star. Chyna wins the Title.
8/10
4-Tazz vs Jerry "The King" Lawler
A Good Match. Jerry Dominates Tazz at the start but Tazz comes back. Jerry does his piledriver. Jerry wins when J.R. breaks a glass container on Tazz's head.
8/10
5-Hardcoree Championship
Shane McMahon (Champion) vs Steve Blackman.
Unbelievable. Steve Blackman Kicks Shanes Ass. T&A help Shane through the match. Lots of weapons and painfull moves with them. The Ending is Unbelievable. Screw foley coming off a 20ft Cell. Shane gets hit in the back with a kendo stick and falls off the Summerslam tron 55ft Backwards!!! Insane!!! Blackman elbows him from halfway down for the win.
10/10
6-2 out of 3 Falls
Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho
Awesome match. Classic Benoit and Jericho type match. Suplexes, Submissions, everything. Benoit takes the first fall with the Crossface, Jericho takes the second with the walls and Benoit steals the match with a roll up and the ropes but still a classic between these two greats. Awesome
10/10
7-TLC Match for the Tag Team Championships
Edge and Christian (Champions) vs The Hardyz vs The Dudleyz
What Can I Say? This is AWESOME. So many bumps to name. people flying through tables, people falling off and onto ladders, people getting smashed with chairs. The Hardyz take a SICK Ladder bump! AMAZING and AWESOME!
10/10
8-Thong Stink Face Match
Terri vs The Kat
OH YES!!! I love it!!! These two are so hot and seeing them trying to rub their asses into eachothers faces makes it even better! Kat Wins!
10/10 for the T&A
9-Undertaker vs Kane
It wasn't a match, it was a fight. Steel steps, chairs and right hands. Taker rips the mask off Kane's bloody face and Kane runs away! What a brawl!
10/10
10-Triple Threat Match for the WWF Title
The Rock (Champion) vs Triple H vs Kurt Angle
This is the Match where Angle gets a screwed up Pedigree through the announce table and gets knocked out. (Don't Try This At Home Advert) The Match itself wasn't awesome but still very good! It was all about the Stephanie/TripleH/Kurt Angle Love triangle. Rock retains after Angle hits Triple H in the head with the sledghammer followd by Rock's Peoples Elbow!
9/10
Summerslam is an Awesome event with the TLC and the Hardcore Match heading it up, followed by Benoit vs Jericho, Undertaker and Kane, and all the other great matches. It's a Must Buy and a 5 Star PPV!!!
