Movie Reviews of WWE Survivor Series 2000
Movie Review: The True Return of 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
Summary: 3 Stars
At this point in time, WWF fans were getting pumped to see 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin get revenge for being put out of action at the 1999 SURVIVOR SERIES. Austin had finally "returned" in September, battled with Rikishi in October, and was coming for his true culprit - Triple H!
That little story is probably why most fans checked out the 2000 edition of the SURVIVOR SERIES. It's just a shame that HHH, Austin, and most of the wrestlers did a decent job on this PPV...and it still might not be enough.
1) T&A and Trish Stratus v.
Molly Holly, Crash Holly, & Steve Blackman (Hardcore champion)
---This opener was more about getting a crowd pumped than about telling an in-ring story. The match rarely slowed down, both teams used some neat double-team maneuvers, and the ladies did their Catfight antics all for Florida's viewing pleasure. This one-fall contest isn't anything to go out of your way to see, but if you get the PPV, it's a neat 5-minute diversion.
"6.0 / 10"
--------------------------------------
2) Survivor Series Match
Road Dogg, K-Kwik, Chyna, & Billy Gunn
v. The Radicalz
---The first of two Elimination Matches for the evening reminded me a lot of the Four Horsemen. Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, & Eddie Guerrero played the numbers often and effectively to keep their opponents down. The constant gang-ups and cheating might infuriate some viewers, but everyone else might have a good time with this one. Unfortunately, the match really suffered from a couple quick eliminations. K-Kwik (Ron Killings from TNA, now R-Truth in WWE) was easily the most exciting aspect of the match with his Cirque de Soleil performances, and got pinned with maybe two moves. Chyna & Eddie continued their funny couple-gone-bad routine, but "Latino Heat" looked more foolish than skilled. And it was nice to see The New Age Outlaws team up after being apart for so long. To make a long story short, this match is worth your time, but not nearly as great as it could've been.
"6.5 / 10"
--------------------------------------
3) Chris Jericho v. Kane
---Wow...this was pretty bad. Never mind that the whole thing started over Y2J accidentally spilling a cup of coffee onto Kane a few weeks prior. Try not to groan as Jericho desperately tried to sell this grudge match as "being about something more than coffee." Well, storylines may age, but good wrestling is forever...sorry folks, but this is far from good. Kane has a very loyal fan base, but the year 2000 was a miserable year for him. His PPV showcases were often bad, as evidenced here. Jericho is a future Hall of Famer deserving of his podium moment, but all of his hard work went to waste. Their Last Man Standing rematch will be released on Kane's upcoming WWE DVD. Maybe give that one a look, first.
"4.5 / 10"
--------------------------------------
4) European Championship
William Regal (champion) v. Hardcore Holly
---What we have here is a technician whose skills were ahead of their time, and a tough wrestler whose physicals skills are often undone by his lack of in-ring psychology. After Regal cut a very funny promo (he made fun of Florida's 2000 Election delays), Holly interrupted him to begin their scheduled contest. As I said before, Regal can be a great wrestler, but his old-school European style just wasn't exciting the crowd. Shame on them. Holly has always had athletic ability, but his non-Hardcore matches are often the most generic matches imaginable. Shame on Holly.
"5.5 / 10"
--------------------------------------
5) Rikishi v. The Rock
---Be warned: If you think "The People's Champ" is an overrated phenomenon, you better just skip this one. I like to joke that Rock in 2000 was so invincible, that he might've just worn a bright red "S" on his chest. Unfortunately, the match consisted of Rikishi mercilessly beating an injured Rock, with Rock making an occasional comeback. If you enjoy underdog matches or injury angles, then this will be a good one. But if you want the explosive match these two might've been capable of, then I'm sorry to say that this wasn't it.
"6.0 / 10"
--------------------------------------
6) Women's Championship
Ivory (champion) v. Lita
---Now pay attention, because this match is more important than you realize. I've loved the Divas in recent years, but the Attitude Era often used them for eye-candy, and most of the ladies back then couldn't perform. And then, the skilled Ivory and fast-rising Lita squared off in this solid match that the crowd got into. Rather than resort to pulling hair or tearing each other's clothes, Ivory & Lita improved the image of women in the WWF on this very night. Hell, Lita even took a nasty cut above her eye! Now don't get me wrong, this isn't a great match. It can get a tad sloppy and soft (women need to work on their kicks & punches). Not as good as I might've made it sound, but still a very significant match in the Women's division's history.
"6.5 / 10"
--------------------------------------
7) WWF Championship
Kurt Angle (champion) v. The Undertaker
---Longtime WWE fans know that Taker & Angle are responsible for some terrific matches in SMACKDOWN history, but I remember not expecting this one to be any good. Their last PPV encounter was an enjoyable slugfest that ultimately made Angle look weak. But this time, Angle & Taker got it just right. If you liked any of their other technical showcases, then you're in for a real treat. Kurt Angle walked a very tight line between being an Olympic competitor and a total dweeb; I'm sure it's hard to look great and cowardly at the same time. And nay-sayers who think Taker's "biker gimmick" was terrible need to understand that this allowed him to open up his character, and compete in more mat-based performances like this. If this brief history lesson gets you excited, then the action won't disappoint you. And after watching these two rivals go at it for about 15 minutes, there's a clever twist ending that still holds up today. An excellent match between an underrated pairing of wrestlers.
"8.5 / 10"
--------------------------------------
8) Survivor Series Match
Edge & Christian / Bull Buchanan & The Goodfather (Tag Team champions)
v. The Hardy Boyz & The Dudley Boyz
---Compared to the previous Elimination Match, this one might be the better of the two. It's a little longer, and the finishes were more sensible. Even though E&C, Dudleyz, & Hardyz had competed for over a year together, they still managed to put on a good show. And Right To Censor, in my opinion, was an underrated faction. RTC's characters were devilishly annoying, but their in-ring skills were solid for their time. All in all, this match was par for the course - enjoyable, but nothing special.
"6.5 / 10"
--------------------------------------
9) No Disqualifications
Triple H v. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
---Thank God Mick Foley made this No-DQ earlier in the evening. It would've made no sense to see two rivals involved with vehicular assault compete in a standard one-fall contest. These two often had good matches together, and this was one of them. However, if you're hoping this will top their NO MERCY '99 or NO WAY OUT 2001 performances, then don't get too excited. The physiques, characters, & movesets between HHH & Austin complement each other very well. There are two main reasons I prefer their other PPV matches over this one. For starters, this one slowed down a bit more than I really cared for. Back in 2000, HHH sometimes was too calculating and dominating for his own good. His "Cerebral Assassin" moniker wasn't a good thing, at first. But the other reason I'd rather watch their other matches is because of how having no rules plays out. I really hate seeing brawls up the aisle and into the crowd, and I hate being able to call reverals & weapon counters seconds before they happen. For example, there's a spot where HHH attempts a Pedigree at ringside, and any viewer will be able to call that Austin is about to backdrop HHH through a table to counter it. Other than a shocking finish, there are few surprises in this match. It's a good showing from two of the most famous in pro wrestling history. But it's not as great as it looks on paper.
"7.0 / 10"
--------------------------------------
OVERALL
---There's nothing really wrong with SURVIVOR SERIES 2000, other than very little is special about. The traditional Elimination Matches from these PPVs are usually fun to watch, but the two on this card aren't anything special, especially because E&C/Dudleyz/Hardyz have had much better matches elsewhere. Austin & HHH delivered a good main event worthy of their year-long buildup, but it wasn't their best showing. Lita & Ivory may have had an important contest in WWE history, but then so is Ultimate Warrior winning the IC Title in 15 seconds...Do you really want to pay money to see it if it's more interesting than great? Undertaker & Kurt Angle pulled off one of the best matches in their rivalry's history, and in SURVIVOR SERIES history.
You might still be curious enough to check this one out, but here's a suggestion: I wouldn't be surprised if the WWE releases a SURVIVOR SERIES anthology in the near-future. I suggest you either get this PPV at a cheap price, or try to catch some of these matches on other websites or DVDs.
Summary of WWE Survivor Series 2000
As far as pay-per-views go, the 2000 Survivor Series is a bit lackluster. When it originally aired, the WWF was focusing on one plot line that so dominated the company that other story lines simply didn't matter. Survivor Series 2000 revolves around fallout and revenge revolving around the 1999 plot to end Stone Cold Steve Austin's career. In 1999, Austin was run over by a car, and for the better part of a year, the WWF became a mystery show, dedicated to finding out who was behind the steering wheel. Leading up to Survivor Series, it came out that the Rock's cousin, Rikishi, was driving the car, but the man who masterminded the plot was Triple H. So here we have the epic battles between the Rock and Rikishi, and Stone Cold and Triple H. Both matches are brutal, entertaining, and filled with shocking moments (how about Stone Cold dropping Triple H's car 30 feet from a fork lift?). The DVD gives fans all of the background leading up to these matches. Unfortunately, because the WWF focused so much attention on this story, the other half-dozen matches seem boring by comparison. As result, you get 45 minutes of entertainment and drama, surrounded by two hours of fluff. --Dave McCoySports DVD Video
