Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

1. Right To Censor Vs. Rikishi/Too cool - I don't like watching Too Cool, but there was push for Right to Censor, at least. 6.5/10 2. Road Dogg Vs. X-Pac - Clean victory for X-pac, Road Dogg than refuse X-Pacs tries for loving each other again and turn on him. 6.5/10 3. WWF Intercontinental Title Match: Eddie Guerrero/Chyna Vs.

Benoit won with a little help by ropes. 8.5/10 7. WWF tag Team Title TLC Match: Edge/Christian Vs. Dudley Boyz Vs. Hardy Boyz - I am out of words, so much great action, that is clear, full rating. E&C retained. 10/10 8. Stink A$$ Match: The Kat Vs. Terri - Damn that was hot, I wanna fight like that too :) 8/10 9. Kane Vs.

In a time when the WWF was excelling themselves, Summerslam 2000 proved to be one of the best PPV's of all time.Opening with a great face vs heel match which really broke the crowd into the event, the show snowballed and was topped off with a fantastic main event between The Rock, Kurt Angle and HHH. This main event was superb, full of action, near falls twists and a superb story line which carries throughout the match.Other memorable matches involved the Thong Stinky Face Match (come on who DOESN'T wanna c The Kat and Terri wearing very little and trying to push their perky little behinds into each others faces!?), the brawl between Kane and the Undertaker and of course the infamous TLC match between The Hardy's, Edge And Christian and The Dudleys.Overall this was a perfect PPV and is the best Summerslam of all time, well worth a watch and a must for any WWF(E) fan.

Summerslam 2000 was pretty good in my opinion. Great action and good story lines made this one of the last great PPV's for a while.SPOILERS AHEAD.Six Man Tag Match: The Right To Censor Def Rikishi and Too Cool. Good opener. Nobody likes the RTC even in the bible belt of the US. This was a great setup for the push RTC was about to receive.X-Pac def Road Dogg. This match sucked. Friendly Rivalry storyline was good for hyping this match but the overall result was crap.Intergender Tag Match for the Intercontinental Championship: Eddie Guerrero and Chyna def Trish Stratus and Val Venis, Chyna pins Trish to win the belt.I enjoy the work of Eddie Guerrero, when he was with Chyna was when he had some of his best moments. Great action from Guererro and Venis. Alright MatchJerry The King Lawler def Tazz. This match sucked as well. Jim Ross helps King win with the candy jar being slammed into Tazz's head. King can't wrestle good anymore. Neither can Tazz due to his neck.Hardcore Championship: Steve Blackman def Shane McMahon. Great finish. Shane's bump from the top of the scaffolding was so surreal. Shane is what made this match great. Best Two Of Three Falls: Chris Benoit def Chris Jericho. A great best two of three falls match that has been put on in a while. Jericho and Benoit have such great chemistry when they are working together in the ring. Benoit and Jericho win 1 fall a piece by their own submission moves. Benoit wins the final fall by using the ropes to pin Jericho. Jericho pust over Beniot in his 3rd PPV match with Jericho ever since coming to the WWE.Tables,Ladders,and Chairs Match for the Tag Team Championship: Edge and Christain def The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz. The best match of the night. I was not sure that the Hardys and E&C could top their No Mercy match, but they did. Tons of great spots. Check out Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb miss off the top of the ladder onto a bunch of tables. Thong Stink Face Match: The Kat with Al Snow def Terri with Perry Saturn. Ughh. Stupid match. Only eye candy. This match was so lame. Ohh there in thongs. Well its was lame after we had already seen The Kats boobs at Armageddon 1999.Undertaker vs Kane went to a No contest: They sorta gave away the ending during the commentary by J.R. saying that the ref said he was going to let them go at it. Undertaker "wins" the confrontation by removing Kanes mask and Kane runs back to the locker room. Time Filler.Triple Threat Match for the WWF Championship: The Rock def Triple H and Kurt Angle. Kurt Angle suffered a horrible concussion when he and Triple H fell through the table and Triple H couldn't protect his head in time before it smacked the monitor. After that The Rock came out and he and Triple H carried the match. Amazingly Kurt Angle came back out and continued the match. Rock wins when he pinned HHH. Angle continues his storyline feud with HHH by taking an unconscious Mrs.Game back to the locker room in his arms. Overall this PPV gets a 9 out of 10. After this PPV the WWF starts its downhill decent in its PPV's starting with Unforgiven 2000 which was the next PPV.

Too Cool vs. Right to Censor - 6-Man Tag Team - **I loved the 2000 version of Too Cool back when it was Sexay, Scotty & Rikishi dancing to crazy techno music during Royal Rumbles. It was so entertaining to watch and so fresh for it's time, shame Rikishi's heel turn in October 2000 killed the group. Right to Censor was an even better idea, sure it was a rip on the PTC but my God was it so well executed. They came out and "censored" and had great heel heat...like Too Cool it was fresh and original. Anyways, enough gloating, onto the match. Both teams worked the crowd very well with Goodfather getting heat for assaulting the ho's while the crowd popping hard during the "buttslams" spot, (no idea what that move is called, so I'll refer to it as that). It was below average in terms of work rate, but the gimmick is where the two teams excelled at.Road Dogg vs. X-Pac *3/4DX really faded away in 2000, didn't it? To make matters worse, this tag team break-up was the last hurrah that DX ever had, (aside from their brief renewal at a November 2000 SmackDown and perhaps that brief tease at a return in 2002). This match wasn't really any good from a technical standpoint. The crowd has only mildly into this and the only point they really gave a damn at what was occurring in the ring was giving bad heat in the form of "X-Pac sucks!".Eddie Guerrero & Chyna vs. Val Venis & Trish Stratus - IC Title - *1/4I never liked Chyna, having her win the IC strap did not help my perception of this match. Fairly uneventful, though the chemistry between Eddie & Chyna worked during this period of time. The plain white trunk wearing-phase of Val Venis was a really watered-down concept while mixed-tag matches rarely raise above the **1/2 mark.King vs. Tazz - 1/2*I wanted the WWF to push Tazz during this time, why did they put him in this feud with King that accomplished nothing? Oh well, at least his commentary on SmackDown nowadays is top-notch. I really don't like these "commentator" matches because it always leaves one guy on the mike and it just doesn't sound right to listen to just the PBP guy. The match was pretty lame and didn't do much for either men and certainly did not get Tazz even remotely over, (getting pummelled by the commentating team rarely does...anything).Shane McMahon vs. Steve Blackman - Hardcore Title - ***After witnessing four consecutive sub-** matches, I was thinking that maybe this PPV wasn't such a good idea. The along comes this major bump-fest featuring the daredevil Shane. His fall from the 50-foot mark onto a wooden elevation is one hell of a spot. Like any hardcore match, it's all about the bumps and spots and less about the work rate and both men have shown to be able to accomplish that with Blackman carrying non-wrestler Shane to a good match.Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho - 2 out of 3 Falls Match - ***3/4I expected great things from this match and boy did I get it. Benoit and Jericho are such good workers that they put on one great match. The first fall is all reversals and attempted submission holds, all of which are paced very well. The rest of the match is like this, with men trading spots back and forth resulting in an great match to their fantastic series. Jericho's top rope hurricanrama being the highlight for me.Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian - TLC - *****Mark this down folks, this is the best match of 2000 and you should buy the DVD/VHS simply for this one match alone. This is a massive spot-fest with insane bumps all around. We have people falling through four stacked-up tables, Lita getting speared hitting her head on a ladder and many "my God that killed him!"-style falls to the outside. When I saw their initial match at WM16, I saw great things in this style of match and by God did this TLC match show it. I really don't want to get into too much detail on the bumps or spots because they are so damn good to watch for the first time.The Kat vs. Terri - Thong Stickface Match - DUDDid the WWF really think an encore of the train wreck from WrestleMania 16 would be a suitable match to have after a classic TLC match? Let's just let this mess be forgotten and move on.Undertaker vs. Kane - *1/2I have to admit, Undertaker and Kane had great chemistry as both allies and heels during their heyday. This match isn't really much of a match, due to Undertaker spending much of the time trying to remove Kane's mask. So, I'll just be a little lenient with the score.Kurt Angle vs. The Rock vs. Triple H - WWF Championship - ***1/2This was a great storyline at the time: Kurt Angle subtly wooing away Stephanie McMahon from her husband Triple H. It was the sheer nature of the Angle character, a mildly nerdy self-absorbed Olympic hero and Triple H the jealous husband that, when combined, made for great chemistry. This match should have been Angle/HHH with the focus on Stephanie, because by this time the angle was fresh. The match didn't happen until Unforgiven the following month, but anyways...Match starts off with Angle getting on the mike and trashing Trips, Trips comes out and the two brawl. Nasty spot here where Triple H goes for the Pedigree on the table, but it breaks under the weight of Triple H and Angle giving the latter a legitimate concussion. Triple H and Rock work while trainers attend to Angle, who later joins the match. Rock really felt like the odd man out, the focus being entirely on Triple H and Angle for much of the match. Still, the three managed to work to make a great main event for a great PPV.Best Match: Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz vs. Edge & Christian - *****Worst Match: The Kat vs. Terri - DUDScore: 7.5/10The first half of the PPV is filler, the middle is pure gold and the main-event is a great ending to a solid PPV. The filler isn't all that bad with the only real offence being the Stinkface match. If anything, watch this PPV solely for the TLC match, which is one of the best matches the WWF has put on in the last 5 years. Simply put: if any PPV has a strong MOTY contender, it is worth watching for that alone.
