WWF No Way Out 2000 - The "Reliving The War" PPV Review

[@DetectiveGumshoe2025]

This feud, the build up and the HITC finale were iconic. WWE really destroyed the meaning and importance of HITC when they made it into a set yearly PPV format. Rather than having it just be used as an unpredictable, unscheduled final showdown for a long standing, well established feud, like it was in this instance.

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

Agreed. Though they kinda rectified it by discontinuing the PPV

[@MauFerrer2000]

And now they're doing the same thing with WarGames every year and the Elimination Chamber. At least they save HIAC now for big feuds, like Punk vs McIntyre

[@Kas58223]

So glad they scrapped that PPV and make it more of a heated rivalry putting it to rest

[@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090]

@ Elimination Chambers fine with me cause it’s a wrap around for Rumble and Wrestlemania, I feel there’s more things you can do with the Chamber yearly to keep it from being old, and if we don’t do it yearly it’s gonna be a very forced and ridiculous gimmick otherwise. For what reason would we do it at another event? I think they introduced it to PPV early enough for it not to feel like a down grade: New Years Revolution 2005

[@DerekDolcy]

😅 yea true 👍

[@DrTenma-w5j]

Mick Foley and Eddie Guerrero both made their wrestling debuts a couple of months apart in 1986. But Eddie looks like a fresh faced rookie and Foley looks like a 30 year veteran

Billy actually did get injured on the go-home Smackdown. Giving a fame-asser to Bubba Ray Dudley on a table, he landed badly and damaged his left arm. Notice during the match he isn't moving his left arm much.

[@bryanbalment7993]

Yeah. Torn rotator cuff. He had surgery and didn't wrestle again for several months afterwards.

Yeah he would be out for half a year and would come back with a new gimmick. "The One" Billy Gunn.

[@kurtpaulsen6579]

Actually, he returned as Mr. Ass, but lost the right to use the gimmick against the Right To Censor

[@LostChrisB]

That clip of him delivering the famouser (is that how it’s spelled) you can see him holding his arm in an odd angle, held protectively to his chest. Even if it was for only a few moves, to go out and perform when injured, only in wrestling man, only in wrestling.

[@roccojamison89gooker51]

@@LostChrisB Billy Gunn should have done a chinlock or a nerve pinch instead to reduce the risk of injurying himself.

[@guyfranchise934]

What happened after E&C / Hardy match was the gloves APA were wearing and the belt Jeff had on. Ron's finger had been caught while lifting Jeffrey up. For a split second you see the instincts of both men take over. Jeffrey went limp which allowed Ron full control in case he needed to throw, drop or put him back down. If either man decided to go all the way through with the move, there would have been a very noticeable botch. But instead we see a little hiccup, Jeffery has to wait for another day to get killed in a wrestling ring and Mr. Simmons keeps eleven fingers. *Side note, the APA wear fingerless gloves moving forward

[@NJ973201]

6:07 Fun fact: The satellite feed cut out during this bit on PPV for a few seconds but JR & King could still be heard. This is why the video on the titantron went black for a bit (as seen in the two still shots shown after) and thankfully it was restored for the Home Video VHS with JR acknowledging the feed problems getting muted out.

One of the big differences between WWF and WCW right now is a lot of featured performers on this show weren't even in WWF 6 months ago. They have bolstered their roster with Angle, Jericho, the Radicalz & Dudleys and given the likes of the Hardys, E&C, Too Cool & Rikishi the chance to develop into stars. Its becoming so one sided even without Austin & Undertaker being around. WWF is reinventing and WCW is booking Flair v Hogan
