Backlash 2000 is one of my favourite ever PPV's. It was incredible.

[@anthonycampos8057]

100%

[@jakenewiss2975]

Had that on vhs years ago, a classic

[@bluedan1873]

Same. The crowd was mental for the main event. Remember I taped it from channel 4😂

[@christianjohnsjohns8723]

I feel like in terms of overall quality 2000 was the best year WWE ever had.

[@nathanclark7484]

99-2003 for me was the absolute best.

@@craiganderson5813 I liked it. I thought the roster was super stacked with talent that year

@@nathanclark7484 everything on Raw was pretty terrible. Especially Triple H's reign of terror. His terrible matches, him buring wcw superstars & his inability to guide people throw good matches.

My favorite PPV from this year was definitely Royal Rumble. I felt like after this year is when Triple H peaked.

[@Ykwhat75]

2000 was the BEST year of WWF mannn....

[@jimmysdadgoingcrazy]

2000 was my favorite year personally

[@jakubwidlarz]

Back then the Raw replay on Friday nights was Sky's most watched show on any channel other than the Premier League.

[@SteRDLK]

Wasn't a replay

[@andresgc770]

Definitely unsurprising that a B-show claimed the top spot instead one of the "big 5." The "second-tier" PPVs in 2000 really delivered!!

[@ChrisSmith-wh6bq]

Malenko v Scotty 2 Hotty at Backlash is legit the most underrated match ever.

[@JustChrisTM]

FACTS!!!!! I was in high school and remember being disappointed in Mania but talkin to everybody about Backlash and how good that match was.

[@SheriffOutlaw]

Agreed! I am happy someone FINALLY said this! Although the Light Heavyweight Championship was uber forgettable,that match wasn't! And the finish was super scary. Also kudos to Guerrero vs Rios. That was underrated too!

[@rodericklee8251]

I agree, they put on a great match and that top rope DDT was crazy 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@LexingtonDeville984]

Likewise. I remember how well Scotty kept up with Malenko and both men put on a banger of a match.

You guys should take the #1 PPV from each video y’all did from years 1990-2000 and rank those 10 PPVS to determine the best one of the decade

[@philly_sports1558]

2000 is probably the best overall year (at least creative wise) in WWE history. 1997 and 2008 are close though.

[@lukeayer1352]

I really like 2004

[@MaximMicheal20]

2008 was shit the especially WWE going PG.

[@ANDCFC95]

Which ironically had a disappointing WrestleMania

[@AR_112]

Nah 1999

[@DBDUndisputed]

2000 was one of the best WWE years of all time 🔥💯

[@dylanogg347]

I think much of WWF's success in 2000 can be attributed to Chris Kreski, who worked his tail off to produce quality writing for the time he was on WWF's creative team.

[@shannonswift2233]

Was he the head writer in WWF at the time?

[@HatterIsMad]

I had SummerSlam 2000 on tape and must've watched it dozens of times.

[@quentinkaasa47]

I had King of the Ring on tape and because of some kind of snafu the commentary could be heard only vaguely with the volume turned all the way up. It was like being there in person without the pleasure of actually being there in person.

[@M1CHA3L22]

2000 is easily WWEs best year. No arguing.

[@tequilapapii5936]

Cultaholic - Stone cold & The Undertaker were out for the year due to injuries Also Cultaholic - The undertaker & stone cold both included in the first few matches on the list 😂

[@jackryan8736]

Question, and I know you'll probably say "No, are you mental!?" anyway but oh well: would you ever consider doing a ranking of the WCW PPV's from certain years as well like you've done with WWE so far? I mean...you'd probably need some VERY strong alcohol to get through a lot of '99 and 2000, but still. Just curious. Apart from that, keep up the good work!

[@flippineck2825]

Lita in that 6 person tag was insane, she threw everything at everyone 🤣

[@markmccallum475]

Everyone had a purpose... so true. Everyone had a storyline. And this was without the 12 odd titles they have today.

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

Still find it amusing that T&A vs Head Cheese and Godfather/D Lo vs Bossman/Buchanan made Mania 2000. These days, it would barely be a kickoff show match.

[@carribob1992]

I'm suprised no one has talked about the poster/vhs cover for Armageddon 2000. Its got to be one of the more badass posters for a WWE event ever produced.

I actually enjoyed KOTR 2000. The mainevent was so much fun.

[@murmursmeglos]

Rumble 2000 is maybe my fave event ever, it had pretty much everything I want from a wrestling show. Shocks, laughs, violence. But I think 20 years of hindsight is blanking you on how over Rikishi and Crash were, 2 of the most popular guys on the roster, which is really saying something back then.

[@quentinkaasa47]

Yeah, I know it's subjective but everything about the 2000 Rumble was perfect from its card to the execution. Fully Loaded was no doubt great too, however, I wouldn't put it ahead of the Rumble or SummerSlam - or Backlash for the matter.

[@finlaylavery8408]

Oooooooh they were The Godfather's trousers... that explains everything. Never knew that.

In hind sight, WM16 wasn't all that... but honestly, as it happened live we all loved it!!

[@quentinkaasa47]

It was still one hell of a spectacle. My family had PPV at the time and we had a party on that night because of WrestleMania. The adults of course weren't really there to watch the show much; my friend, sister and I were glued to the TV the entire time. We had chairs set up in our living room and mostly everybody stopped to check out that Ladder match and the main event. Being such a huge Rock mark, that ending was crushing. Backlash more than made up for it though. WrestleMania 2000 will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@GrantDeezNutz]

I'm shocked that Wrestlemania 2000 wasn't at the bottom of the list.

[@SouthyA]

Survivor Series was worse

[@GorditoCrunch343]

As bad as Wrestlemania 2000 was, King of the Ring and Survivor Series were just terrible. They're what hold the year back from being the greatest quality year ever.
