Movie Reviews of WWF: Survivor Series 2000
Movie Review: Wrong PPV for these matches.
Summary: 3 Stars
Austin vs. HHH, Angle vs. Taker, Rock vs. Rikishi, Jericho vs. Kane. These feuds were so damn intense leading up to this ppv, but this was the wrong ppv to hold these matches. if this had all happened one month earlier at NO MERCY, this ppv would have been more believeable and brutal, but no. this is one of the top 5 WWF PPVS of the year, yet it was weak. Only for Austin-HHH match.Movie Review: Good DVD

Movie Review: It's all about Stone Cold.
Summary: 2 Stars
Stone Cold Steve Austin broke his neck at Summerslam 97 after a botched piledriver by Owen Hart. Despite this, he kept performing, showing up constantly in late 97 and 98, until returning at the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania to make it to the very top of the company.
Eventually that reckless pace would catch up to him. And it did in late 1999. So rather than admit the truth, the WWF wrote him off for a year with a storyline involving him breaking his neck again after being hit by a car at the 1999 Survivor Series.
2000 saw the rise of Triple H and The Rock as the top competitors in the industry, until Stone Cold returned on September 25, 2000. The ensuing storyling revolved around a "whodunnit?" in which finally Rikishi---seemingly a random pick---admitted hitting Stone Cold, for The Rock to be the top guy in the business. Seemingly out of the blue, Triple H was brought up as the "mastermind" after talk of an accomplice was made.
For the sake of convenience, Rikishi and The Rock would feud, just because, and Stone Cold and Triple H would feud, completely defying sane logic by having Austin focus solely on Triple H and apparently not give a damn about Rikishi. After all, he WAS the guy driving the car that hit Austin, right?
As a result, we get this. Austin sets his sight on revenge, The Rock aims to exact revenge on Rikishi, and to hell with everything else.
To quote another reviewer, this event was quite literally "45 minutes of entertainment, and two hours of fluff"
The matches:
T&A and Trish Stratus vs Steve Blackman and Crash Holly and Molly Holly
I think they should have put Hardcore Holly with the rest of his kayfabe family, just for the sake of gimmicks. Still, the match was something of a dud. There was little excitement, and the only real talented male performer---Blackman---got very little ring time. (3/10)
Survivor Series Match
The Radicals vs Road Dogg and K-Kwik and "The One" Billy Gunn and Chyna
This was a spectacular match. Everything good about the WWF was represented here, with veteran brawling skills of Road Dogg and Billy Gunn, the surprising high-flying reckless antics of K-Kwik, and the very skilled, great to watch Chyna, wrestling like, or even better, than a man. The Radicalz, also, were at the top of their game. While it was sad to see the likes of Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero cut back on their technical prowess, they still got to show off plenty, and this sort of match solidified them as a solid heel stable with excellent chemistry together. (10/10)
Kane vs Chris Jericho
I think the whole provocation for this feud was absolutely ridiculous. What's even worse, it was REUSED recently on Smackdown! Someone spills liquid on Kane, causing a feud that lasts longer than it should. It happened with Finlay recently on Smackdown, it happened here with Jericho. The match wasn't too great, but it certainly isn't as terrible as the Kane/Finlay feud being reused now. (5/10)
WWF European Championship
William Regal (C) vs Hardcore Holly
Rather than be matched with his kayfabe family, Holly is wasted in another dud of a matchup we come to expect from the likes of Bob Holly. Any Hardcore Holly match you watch that isn't a hardcore one, this is just like it. (0/10)
The Rock vs Rikishi
Despite these two's talents with wrestling ability and charisma, this one wasn't entertaining. Rikishi doesn't work well as a heel, and The Rock seemed blindly furious at Rikishi, so much so he just ran to the ring as fast as possible when his entrance hit and started battering Rikishi recklessly. Even Stone Cold had the presence of mind to wait, and size up Triple H. And Stone Cold was the real victim of that car-hit! The match itself was little more than Rikishi dominating The Rock, The Rock getting the upper hand, and Rikishi dominating him after losing. (2/10)
WWF Women's Championship
Lita vs Ivory (C)
The Right to Censor needs to die. Luckily it does some time later, but at this point it had moved beyond Steven Richards and his hooligans being the obvious heels trying to spoil the fun, and more like a cult of Christian fanatics trying to kill people not like them. I don't know if it was storyline driven, or a genuine mistake, but Ivory punched Lita in the face and legitimately caused her to bleed from the cheek. Other than the fun bloodshed, the match was a typical Diva's dud. (1/10)
WWF Championship
The Undertaker vs Kurt Angle (C)
Because the event is all about Stone Cold, the main event gets pushed back two matches. Probably for good reason, as this match had very little going for it. I cannot even remember any major moves being used by either superstars. The only real motivation for the match's existance, other than it being obligatory for the champion to defend at every pay per view, is the trick Angle pulled off, using his brother as a body double for the Undertaker to pin, then get tricked when Angle shows up from under the ring. (1/10)
Survivor Series Match
The Dudley Boys and The Hardy Boys vs Bull Buchanan and The Goodfather and Edge and Christian
This match was simply awful. And I think everyone involved knew it. At the last minute, people started randomly being pinned, just to end the match mercifully. Jeff Hardy was then left against The Goodfather and Christian, and finally won. The end consisted of the Hardys and Dudleys putting Steven Richards and Val Venis through tables on opposite sides of the ring. (0/10)
The Entire Reason for the Pay Per View
Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Triple H
It's all about Stone Cold was the theme for the night. For 25 minutes, Triple H and Austin brawled, in typical old WWF style, and it was not great wrestling, but it was great entertainment. As usual, Triple H bladed easily, and Stone Cold shocked me by taking a beer out of his beer cooler, using the cooler to hit Triple H into the corner where the timekeeper usually sits, then sitting on the ringsteps and taking a beer break! The brawl made its way out back, where the Radicalz jumped Austin, and Triple H ran into a car, using Benoit to try and lure him out to get hit. You pretty much know what happens from there. (9/10)
All in all, this pay per view was pretty much all about Stone Cold Steve Austin. That's really a shame, since they had great potential to do more with their other talent here.
Movie Review: WWF Survivor Series
Summary: 2 Stars
Six Person Tag Team Match Test, Albert, Trish vs. Crash, Steve Blackman, Molly - Overall a pretty horrid match much like all intergender matches. Crash Holly is the only wrestler in the match with any true skill but he couldn't save this one. (**)Survivor Series Match The Radicalz vs. Billy Gunn & Chyna, K-Kwik, Road Dogg - I like the fact that the WWF returned to the classic Survivor Series matches. I like all four of the Radicalz because I've followed their entire career in ECW-WCW-and now the WWF. Road Dogg (I hate), K-Kwik (Got some potential but makes a lot of rookie mistakes), Chyna (Good for a woman... that's all I'll say), and Billy Gunn (um...). Not bad match, saved by the Radicalz though. (***)
Chris Jericho vs. Kane - I like both men and hope Jericho can win the title again but for real this time and Kane can hold it for more than a day. Both men looked sloppy but the veterans were able to pull out a decent match. (***)
WWF European Championship Steve Regal (c) vs. Hardcore Holly - I like Regal, I'm not a fan of Holly. Brutal match and both of these men weren't getting much of a reaction out of the crowd. (**)
The Rock vs. Rikishi - I hate the Rock, absolutely hate him. I don't like wrestlers who are good on the mike and have wrestling skills worse than Hulk Hogan. I was rooting for Rikishi but... oh my god! The Rock won can you believe it! Complete waste of pay per view time, count the Rock's moves I counted 5, that might be a record for him! Remember the People's elbow doesn't count. (**)
WWF Womens Championship Lita (c) vs. Ivory - I don't like women wrestling unless it's a mud wrestling match, Bra and Panties match, etc. I don't believe their bodies were built to seriously wrestle as they can't take bumps without taking long breaks. Pure Sloppy. (*)
WWF World Heavyweight Championship Kurt Angle (c) vs. the Undertaker - I loved the ending, I think Kurt Angle is hilarious and a good wrestler and I don't like the Undertaker. Seriously, what is so good about him? He's a senseless brawler and can't even do the Tombstone anymore since it was outlawed. Senseless brawl. (**)
Survivor Series Match The Dudley Boyz, The Hardy Boyz vs. The RTC, Edge & Christian - I like three of the four teams (Can anyone guess which three?) and the team I don't like ruined the match. The WWF rushed this match too much and didn't give it any time. I would got rid of one of the D-Von and Matt Hardy and RTC to let the good wrestlers get things going. But no they did it completely different and I can't believe they got rid of Edge so quickly. (**)
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin vs. Triple H - A senseless brawl but great psychology. Both men are veterans of the ring and have my respect... more so, Triple H. But the ending... does the WWF take us for idiots. We all know that in real life a fall like that would kill a man. But if most of you are watchers of the WWF you know that Triple H came back two weeks later without a scratch, come on. (***)
Movie Review: NOTHING TO SPECIAL
Summary: 2 Stars
i didnt watch this live. i hired this one...and i am sort of glad because when i watched it ,it was nothing special...... the austin vs hhh match could have been more hardcore and more action. a funny and confusing match with taker and kurt angle and his brother. higlights in this ppv was the ending of the chapionship match with the car...pretty amazing...dont know how they did it. i would strongly suggest to hire this out before spending your money....if you want to see hhh in some hardcore action...do get the royal rumble 2000.....it was amazing!
