WWE No Way Out 2000 Review - Is This The End of Cactus Jack?

[@TarvayWay]

I recall a Hell in the Cell compilation DVD from like 2006 where Foley explains coming out of retirement as "Cactus Jack's last match, not Mick Foley's."

[@reddhead2948]

The hell in a cell dvd compilation was 2008 I know because it has the Taker vs Battista hell in a cell from the 2007 survivor series

[@chronovac]

I loved that compilation dvd.

[@therealangelalexander1858]

Until he wrestled Orton for the IC belt and wrestled in Japan under the gimmick, anyways. Gotta love wrestling retirements.

[@TheGreatDevlin]

​@@chronovac I think the Ladder Match DVD came out around the same time. Also really good.

[@Joker_JAK]

I recently met Mick Foley. Told him that his promo "becoming" Cactus Jack is my favorite of his. He gave all the credit to Triple H for his reactions and how he sold it.

[@kenrickkahn]

I remember when Triple H and Cactus Jack first met.. Triple H sold the hell out of their first time meeting (Character wise)

[@Babblebabble87]

That's the best thing about Foley, he raised the hell out of his opponents, he gives H his dues.

[@zlinedavid]

I’d 100% believe it. Thats a Mick Foley comment if there ever was one. Jim Cornette is telling the truth when he says that Mick was “one of the few that was too nice to be in this business.”

[@cullinaaronkress]

I love Triple H's selling there.

[@TheCamSays]

“Some people think Hell In A Cell is a nightmare. Well, it’s my nightmare but I decide when to wake up.” It’s such a great line that I’m surprised that Wes Craven didn’t write it.

[@frozenlimemix]

"Still in his rookie year." He was the Euro + Intercontinental champions after only 4 months on the main roster, that's insane!

[@jackburton2680]

How long had he been with the company by then though and was OVW under Cornette and companys tutelage up and running yet or was that not till a touch later? I THOUGHT OVW had ramped up its game by that point. It would explain how a LOT of these wrestlers could look so seasoned and rdy to go, especially compared to a LOT of what we see nowadays, despite being rookies with mere months on main roster back then. Can't be overstated how valuable a well run training prgm like OVW was to prep these folks.

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

It’s clear they had the Highest hopes for em.

[@metalanarchy5186]

They kind of tried with the European belt but really didn't mean much HBK barley defended it then gave it to Triple H and then most of the time it was very far down the card I think it was made just as a gimmick for the Bull Dog then I think they thought it would be like there T.V. title but never really seemed to reach that level

[@mspacely6521]

Kanes inverted outfit always looked amazing wish he stuck with it.

[@ericmonaco4509]

Same too it made him look like an actual Demon

[@Lilbeef1]

[@mattm7798]

I was heartbroken with Cactus Jack lost, but listening to Foley is Pod, I more than understand why Mick chose to end his full time in ring career at this point.

[@MakuraZalis]

Mick Foley at this time didn't care about wins or losses. He already had multiple title wins. Cactus got over and was booked not horribly

[@vciotoli2126]

I maintain Foley was one of the most important parts of the Attitude era - ALL the big names ran through him.

[@shadow_strike9956]

Mick Foley is the ultimate kingmaker. Elevated names like The Rock, HHH, Randy Orton, Edge etc

[@kenrickkahn]

He was involved with Steve Austin earlier as Dude Love..

[@chrisbutler1668]

@@shadow_strike9956 You're forgetting the most important name: The Undertaker. If it wasn't for Mick Foley, you could argue Undertaker would not be the legend he became, nor would he be considered the "greatest gimmick". He was just coming off his only watchable WrestleMania match against Diesel when Foley debuted the night after WM12. Before this, he spent years in terrible matches versus Harvey's Whippleman's monsters and Ted Dibiase's stable of "bought" wrestlers. It wasn't until Survivor Series 1996 that Undertaker debuted his new look, without the big purple gloves and the magical urn, which is the gimmick that would not have gone over in the post-NWO/Attitude Era world of wrestling. Without those brutal and violent matches throughout 1996 and continuing into 1998, where would The Undertaker be today?

[@vciotoli2126]

​​@@chrisbutler1668 I'd go as far as to say that Taker never had a good match until Foley joined the company

Billy Gunn did not come back as "The One". He came back and was still called Mr. Ass. He became "The One" after feuding with Right to Censor.

[@labbaby189]

I remember when he came back around the same time Austin did, and he was named a suspect in the hit and run. They had a stare down that shook the building a little, but nothing came of it. Didn't The One gimmick start early 01?

[@machravens]

He returns eight months later... against Right to Censor? And is forced to change his name the next week?

[@SapinskiMath]

Honest Take: That pose of Stephanie in the match graphic has always goofily been my favorite. The angle she's got her wrist bent on that finger wag, you can't duplicate that without giving yourself a cramp. It just sells her attitude SO bad. I love it.

[@DoobieKeebler]

Before No Way Out, Mick Foley did a sit down interview for "60 Minutes." As he sat next to his wife, he said he was retiring because his body was breaking down & No Way Out was the final match of his career. So I remember being just gutted, leading up to & as I watched the ppv because I was a big FoF (fan of Foley 😅 ). I have always thought it was awkward, the way that played out. I mean, sure, most wrestling fans at the time probably didn't also watch 60 Minutes, but it seemed like something was taken from the match. Already knowing Foley was gonna lose, going into the ppv.

[@NJ973201]

Fun fact: The weather was so bad in Hartford that the live feed was acting up during the Mark/Viscera match, specifically when Mae got to the ring. This was fixed for the Home Video VHS but it's still noticeable by looking at when the screen went black on the titantron and also because they muted some of JR's commentary since he did acknowledge the "technical problems" during all of that.

[@thesterlingstudies]

Jerry: "Her stomach's going to need a manicure." Me: ...so a tummy tuck? 🧐😳

[@aebking]

The pyro gun with X Pac and Kane actually had to be reshot during a commercial break because when they tried it the first time,the gun didn't work.

[@chrisbreezy3048]

As always, many thanks for the shout-out, Brian! 🙂 As a teen, I was very disappointed when Foley lost the HIAC Match and was 'forced to retire,' seeing as how I couldn't stand the McMahon-Helmsley regime and having the heels run both RAW and SmackDown made the TV product almost unwatchable at times. However, it didn't take long to figure out that something was up when Trips, Foley and Show all showed up on the SNL episode Rock hosted in the lead-up to WrestleMania 2000.

[@PierzStyx]

Mick losing here really was the worst call. They should've put the belt on him, let him go into Mania as the champ, and then drop the belt back to H.

[@deemz312]

I completely stopped watching wrestling after the Attitude Era ended. I love your channel. The trips down memory lane are awesome. There will never be a time like that ever again. It really was something special.

[@jamielloyd2289]

Last WWF PPV I ever watched in full was the 2002 Rumble. Simply not been the same since, and you’re bang on; it’ll never reach those heights again.

[@tafua_a]

In The Rock's defense, if Stone Cold counts as the winner of the Royal Rumble 1997 even though he was technically eliminated by Bret but the officials didn't see it, then The Rock counts too.

[@1992geop]

Funniest 😂 part to the end of the hardy boyz vs Edge and Christian is J.R. Calling Terri “What a bitch!” In the unedited version of the ppv and Jerry lawler yelling “What!!!” 😂

The fact that Foley is still able to move today under his own power is a miracle. Please consider reviewing No Way Out 2007. It was when No Way Out was that connecting PPV between the Rumble and Mania. Would be nice if you needed a reason to review it.

[@CasualVideoGamer]

The HIAC match was what solidified Triple H as a real top guy. He took the beating, made Foley look supremely good during one of the many times Foley had doubt in his own abilities, and was able to look both vulnerable and dominating.

[@hawk494edward]

It was a combination of the fuel with Mick Foley and the program with Vince and Stephanie that culminated at Armageddon 1999 that cemented Triple H as a Main Event Level Performer.

[@rtyuik7]

5:50(ish) - the voice you used for "...we got Two Words for ya!" has me giggly

[@redbigun]

At the time, I didn't have cable. So, I didn't know Cactus Jack had lost until Smackdown and my 10 year old heart sank. Now, having watched this PPV last year, I chuckle knowing that, like most wrestlers "final/retirement" matches, it won't last. Also, that Screensaver nostalgia.

I feel like the McMahon-Helmsley stuff doesn't get the same criticism as WCW and the NWO booking because they were around for a comparatively shorter period and did definitively end, whereas the NWO dragged on longer than it should have and they skipped several potential end points (Sting or Bret, for example).

[@richardtheconquerer]

The Attitude Era in general gets looked at through rose tinted glasses but there's a whole hell of a lot of bad stuff from back then. It was mostly helped by having two of the most over guys in history in Rock and Austin

[@bizzles44]

Important to remember that Austin and Undertaker were both out at this time due to injury. Big holes in the main event slot. Idk why they didnt have Malenko and Tazz feud during this time. They were similar height, had worked each other in ECW. Could've had some great matches. Instead they just buried both guys within months of their debuts.

[@mattbatesteacher]

Even more insane is Foley was having memory issues and blackouts months earlier. He was ready to retire, but Austin was out and the company needed him.

Yup. This was the exception to the rule. Not just with title matches. Whoever got the upper hand on the go home show would be counting the lights at the ppv. It was that way for a long long time, and this was the only time the pattern was broken. I remember being so confident Foley was winning for that reason.

I like to compare the Dudleyz/New Age Outlaws match to Demolition vs. Strike Force from WrestleMania 4. Both matches are pretty similar in some respects: the hot new heel team steamrolls the fading babyface team to win the gold. Also, Gunn was actually the legal man when D-Von pinned Dogg. Just another case of WWF adding lucha rules to their tag matches whenever the script demands it, I suppose.

I agree 100% that 2000 is def not the peak creative for the attitude era, and also 100% agree that HHH winning constantly was very grating. That said, this was the era where you started getting a new WWF champ every month, so the fact they kept it on HHH for a while was a smart move.

[@mattm7798]

Then I got obsessed with Rock 😂. 2000 was the best year ever. Rock V Triple H was my favourite rivalry of all time. Rock favourite wrestler ever. But 2000 was perfect for a year. You say it wasn't good because DX dominated, but all that did was build the hype for Rock's win at Backlash which was the most hyped win ever. What a year. And what a time. Thanks for the nostalgia.
