I have seen every SummerSlam except 1989, and I have to say that S'Slam 2000 is the best so far. It ranks up there with Backlash 2000, and just narrowly beats Judgment Day 2000 for card of the year. The WWF proved why they are the industry leader, and added on to their so far tremendous year for PPVs.

The TLC Match will rightly be claimed Match of the Year, as it was slightly better than the Triangle Ladder Match featuring the same three teams at this year's WrestleMania.

The main event showed that the WWF is in a class of it's own as far as storyline-based matches are concerned.

The opening six man tag match was enjoyable; the Undertaker vs. Kane non-match was decent; and the Benoit vs. Jericho match was very good, if a little bit shorter than it shoud, have been. The Thong Stinkface Match was awful, but the whole point was to show women in skimpy costumes - and it worked for me!

Shane McMahon is a bump machine, and his fall from the 30 feet tower was a big shock.

Combine all the great action with a live crowd, and this is another example of the dominance that Vince McMahon's WWF has over the wrestling business. It was worht staying up to 4 o'clock in the morning here in the UK, and is highly recommended by me, and all the most reliable websites such as 1Wrestling.com and PWTorch.com.

You've got to see this PPV at least once!

SummerSlam 2000 was awesome! I was there! There were lots of surprises, and lots of awesome matches. The matches are: 1-Thong Stink Face match-The Kat vs. Terri 2-Road Dogg vs. X-Pac 3-Right To Censor vs. Too Cool and Rikishi 4-Hardcore Title match:Shane McMahon vs. Steve Blackman 5-InterContinental Title match: Val Venis and Trish vs. Chyna and Eddie Guerrero 6-Tazz vs. Jerry " The King" Lawler 7-Undertaker vs. Kane 8-TLC match for the Tag Team Titles:Hardyz vs. Dudleyz vs. Edge&Christian 9-Triple threat match for WWF Title:Kurt Angle vs. Triple H vs. The Rock

This was probably the best ppv I have ever seen. Every single match was completely exciting and enthralling. RTC vs 2 Cool and Rikishi was a great opener. XPac vs Road Dogg was awesome. Undetaker vs Kane was great. Pause the tape or DVD when Kane gets his masked ripped off, although it is clear enough to see his face. The TLC Match was the best match ever. Wild and audacious. Jericho vs Benoit 2 out of 3 falls match was great. This was a very wild match up. Stink Face Match with Terry vs Kat was the best. They are lucious. The tag team IC title match up between Chyna and Eddie Gurerro vs Val Venis and Trish Stratus was solid and exciting. The Triple Threat WWF Title mach was excellent. Although is was mostly HHH vs Rock, Angle made a huge impact and this was still a great match. Get this one now. Summerslam is the one wwf ppv you can always count on, with 98, 99, and 00 delievering and it will still go on.

Im sure you know the scale 1-10 by now so lets get started.

Six Man Tag Match
Right TO Censor Vs. Too Cool and Rikishi

This was a pretty good opener for summerslam 2000. Even though most parts it was boring i thought they tried hard to entertain. Winner: Right to Censor. 6/10

Single Match
X-Pac Vs. Road Dog

This match was a little bit better than the first match. They can also be boring but this match was good. They did alot of moves i was not expecting them to do. Road dog tried to do a pump handle slam for the win but X-Pac comes back. Winner: X-Pac. 6.5/10

Intercontinental Championship Mixed Tag Match
Trish and Val Venis VS. Eddie Guerrero and Chyna

This match was a pretty good match. It is funny because of the Story-Line Eddie loves China but in this match he wants to win.(We all miss Eddie) They tag each other and pretty short match. Then Chyna pins Trish for the win. It is funny because Eddie wanted to win but Chyna did. Eddie still liked Chyna. Winner: Chyna 7/10

Single match
Taz VS. Jerry "The King" Lawyer

This match had a pretty good story line about Jr. and King hatting Taz. It was about Taz knocking out the window of the limo and glass getting in Jr.'s eye. King gets in the and they start to wrestle throughout the match Taz keeps calling Jr. a redneck. King hits a nice Piledriver in this match and does better than i thought. Another reason Jr. and King hate taz is because he is from ECW. I love ECW and still like Jr. and King still i dont care. But then Taz is Chocking out King and Jr. gets up and hits him with a candy jar glass in Taz's head. Then King pins him for the win. SOme people would of thought this match was boring but i liked it. Winner: Jerry Lawyer 8/10

Hardcore Championship Match
Shane McMahon VS. Steve Blackman

This was all out for me the awesome match this night. They start of with steve trying to hit shane with a kindo stick. Then they get in the crowd and fight with a trash can. Then Steve jumps off the stands and hits Shane with the trashcan in the head. They get back in the ring with alot of weapons. Then Test and Albert come to the ring and help out Shane. Shane hits steve with a sign right in the face and is awesome. Then they go to the stage where they come out and fight up there. Then Steve hits Test and Albert and knocks them out. Then Shane climbs the Stage Structure and goes 50-75 ft. in the air. Steve follows with a kindo stick. When he gets up there he hits Shane in the leg and shane falls 50-75 ft. off the structure to the stage!!! Then Blackman comes down and hits an elbow off the structure to Shane and Picks up the win. Winner: Steve Blackman 10/10

Two out of Three falls match all single
Chris Benoit VS. Chris Jericho

This match is a good clean awesome match if you like that. The crowd is still so pumped of what they just saw from Shane and Steves hardcore match which you have to see to believe that no one in the crowd at first cares about this match to much. Then the crowd gets involved more. They are so many suspenful parts in this match. Good wrestling. Chris Benoit pins Jericho 2-1 for the win. Winner: Chris Benoit 7/10

World Tag Team Championship TLC Match
Edge&Christian VS. Dudleys Vs. Hardys

This was an awesome match. I want tell you everything but i will tell you most parts. Jeff falls off a ladder that hits Matt in the face. 3d through a table. Matt falls backwards off a ladder through a table. Jeff does a leg drop over the ladder jumping off the turnbuckle. Jeff does a Swantom off a ladder on the outside but Bubba moves so Jeff hits and goes through the table and what impact. Jeff and D-Von hold on to the titles and the ladder falls so Jeff kicks D-von off the ladder and falls far and hits the ring hard. Everyone chanted Hardys because that is there home town. Then Edge and Christian throw a ladder at him and he falls off. Then they get a ladder and get the belts. Winners:Edge&Christian. 10/10

Stink Face Match
Terri VS. The Kat

The only reason i like this match is because of the laddies. The Kat stinks face terri for the win.
Winner:The Kat 6/10

Single Match
Undertaker VS. Kane

This match never got started but good outside wrestling. They go in the ring and fight but then undertaker rips off Kanes mask and kane runs leaving it nobody the winner. But good story line about kane turning against the Undertaker and chockslaming him through the ring. Good fighting. Winner: No one 8/10

WWE Championship Triple Threat Match No Dq at first
The Rock VS. Kurt Angle Vs Triple H

This match had a good storyline to it about Kurt and Stephanie. First Kurt comes out and talks about Steph and then Triple H comes out. They throw fist then go outside and Triple H puts kurt on the spanish announce table. Then when The Game Tries the Pedigree the table gives causing Kurts face to go right in the table really hurting him and he is out like a light. You can tell the Game was asking Kurt are you alright? Then The Game goes for a sledge and gets it then the rocks music hits. He comes and they fight in the ring while Kurt talks to medical people. Then Kurt goes backstage and the rock and the game fight now 1 on 1. Then later Kurt comes back out for Steph and fights. Good match too. The rock pulls off with the win. Winner:The rock 9.5/10

Being a wrestling fan since the late 90's I have seen many WWE/F PPV's and SummerSlam 2000 is by far one of the best ever. It is entertaing, dramatic, more matches than a normal PPV with 10 and every match is worth watching. All of the storylines are good and the TLC match is worth the price of the DVD alone. The intrigue from the Angle-HHH-Stephanie love triangle keeps you on your seat throughout the whole event. Many of these matches are still played today on highlight reels and superstar packages. Not only is this event alone a must have, but the fact that it is out of print and unblurred increases its worth dramitically. It is also great to see many popular or even retired superstars back in their younger days such as HHH, Kurt Angle, Trish, Eddie and Benoit-RIP, Chyna, and The Rock. The DVD extras are not quite over the top but include great segments leading up to the matches and post match interviews that are often not found on the poor WWE DVD's of today. Whether you are a collector or a casual fan look for a DVD i highly recommend this as a MUST HAVE!

The year 2000 for the WWF wasn't exactly a favorite of mine. "WrestleMania" was a disappointment. Steve Austin was out for most of the year. The Hardcore Title had become more of a comedy show rather than a hard-edged display of violence. But most importantly, the PPV catalog for the WWF left much to be desired.

"SummerSlam 2000" isn't exactly a great PPV. But it's good enough to be seen at least once. Skip to the end of my review if you want to know how I suggest you check this one out. Otherwise, read on for a match breakdown:
___________________________________________________

1) Right To Censor v. Rikishi & Too Cool
---The RTC was a fairly new faction, but they quickly became one of the most hated of their time. How exactly Rikishi & Too Cool caught on is beyond me, but whatever. This opening contest is a fast-paced flurry of tag action. It was meant to get a crowd ready for 3 hours of PPV, and on that basis, this is a fun little ride. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed this one on any other spot on the card, but as a curtain jerker, I enjoyed it enough to want to watch the rest of the card.
"6.0 / 10"
___________________________________________________

2) Road Dogg v. X-Pac
---Honestly, it was about time that DX had split up. With HHH or Billy Gunn not around this faction needed to go. Leave it to talented competitors like X-Pac & Road Dogg to finally close it up. While I commend them for giving us an enjoyable contest, it was way too short considering the history between these two. It deserved more than 5 minutes for a true sendoff. Fun while it lasts, but nothing more.
"6.5 / 10"
___________________________________________________

3) Intercontinental Championship
Val Venis (champion) & Trish Stratus v. Eddie Guerrero & Chyna
---Okay, context is everything, so here's what you need to know if you haven't heard about or seen this Intergender affair. Trish was VERY new to the company, and had very little in-ring experience. Chyna was the dominant female she'd always been. And Eddie & Venis do most of the work. The two men had my favorite match of the "King-of-the-Ring 2000" Tournament, and they continued to work very well together on this night. Chyna could always work well enough with the male superstars, and Trish's minimal involvement is good comedy. This isn't a throwaway Intergender contest; these four went for something better, and it's a lot more fun than you'd think.
"7.0 / 10"
___________________________________________________

4) Tazz v. Jerry Lawler
---The former ECW wrestler's career in the WWF was less than stellar, such as this bizarre feud with Lawler, that previously escalated in an assault on Jim Ross. Well, if you can believe that Lawler's fists can hang in there with Tazz's technical array of suplexes & submissions, then maybe you'll enjoy this one. For me, I had a hard time believing it. The finish is kinda neat, but other than that, it's a typical Lawler match.
"5.0 / 10"
___________________________________________________

5) Hardcore Championship
Shane McMahon (champion) v. Steve Blackman
---Throughout the night, Shane had been running away from Blackman backstage. When they finally got to the ring, Blackman proceeded to punish the champion. eventually Test & Albert interfere to even Shane's odds, until Blackman manages to fight back and chase Shane to the top of the Titan-Tron. This sequence led to the thing that Shane will always be most remembered for --- taking a ridiculous fall or leap of faith to entertain a crowd. Oddly enough, this match isn't as much as it sounds. It feels very by-the-numbers. Hero dominates. Villain's buddies come in to even his odds. Hero makes a miraculous comeback. Only the finish is anything special...I can't take anything away from that, I guess.
"5.5 / 10"
___________________________________________________

6) Two-Out-of-Three Falls
Chris Jericho v. Chris Benoit
---These two had an on-and-off rivalry throughout 2000, and it eventually ended in early 2001. Along the way, they had this exceptional display of technical wrestling. While it's not the kind of masterpiece you'd expect from these two, it's still pretty darn good. Perhaps the big drawback is that it's a little short, clocking in at about 13 minutes total. Don't get me wrong, you're going to see some wicked takedowns, submissions, & counters that only athletes of this caliber are capable. But if you were to compile a list of all of their matches together, this would probably be somewhere in the middle. Then again, a bad Jericho/Benoit contest is better than 95% of the WWE stuff today.
"7.5 / 10"
___________________________________________________

7) TLC Match - Tag Team Championships
Edge & Christian (champions) v. The Dudley Boyz v. The Hardy Boyz
---If it weren't for all of the DVDs that include this match, I'd say buy "SummerSlam 2000" just to see this match. It was (and still is) my favorite match from the year 2000. With all due respect to the "No Mercy '99" Ladder Match that started it all, and to the Table & Triangle Ladder Matches that took things further...THIS is the true culmination of what these three guys were capable of in high-spot showcases. Most people will tell you TLC II from "WrestleMania X-Seven" is the best of them all, but I prefer this because the rematch repeated a few spots, and because everything flows a lot faster in this one. It feels like just the right balance of trying win the tag team gold AND trying to punishing your opponents. Regardless of which is your favorite, you must see this match!
"10 / 10"
___________________________________________________

8) Thong Stink-Face Match
The Kat (w/ Al Snow) v. Terri (w/ Perry Saturn)
---Okay, I'm not going to defend this pointless match on any intellectual level. However, the point of the match is to see two gorgeous ladies in thongs, trying to deliver the Stink Face maneuver to win the match. What else did you expect? I was mildly amused.
"4.0 / 10"
___________________________________________________

9) The Undertaker v. Kane
---I expected way more from this grudge match. I'd have thought that Taker's new biker gimmick would've allowed for a less supernatural contest, allowing for the two "brothers" to let it all out. Well, they skip the tricks of old for a slugfest of new...and it sucks! They basically punch & kick each other for a plodding 7 minutes, and it ends in a very strange fashion that was never explained in the weeks afterwards. Taker rips off Kane's mask, we barely see Kane's face, and then...Kane has his mask back the next time you see him on WWF TV. It's okay for a match to be more about the storyline than the physical contest, but this WWF had a lot more faith in our love of the characters than they should've.
"3.0 / 10"
___________________________________________________

10) WWF Championship
Kurt Angle v. Triple H v. The Rock (champion)
---Okay, you've probably heard how this all starts. Because of the love triangle between Angle, HHH, & Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, HHH & Angle brawl before Rock even gets to the ring. Angle is given the Pedigree through a table, but it was botched so badly that Angle got a real concussion, forcing Rock & HHH to basically have a one-on-one match for most of the main event. Aside from seeing Rock & HHH duke it out for the 5th PPV in the year 2000, I actually thoroughly enjoyed watching this one play out. Considering how bad the script had been derailed, HHH & Rock pulled it off so well that I actually believed it all part of the plan the first time I saw it. If you like HHH/Rock matches with a twist thrown in, you'll like this one. If you've watched them compete a bunch of times and haven't yet gotten around to this one, I wouldn't look too forward to this main event.
"7.5 / 10"
___________________________________________________

I strongly suggest you buy the 3rd Volume of the "SummerSlam" Anthology, because you get 4 additional PPVs that are equally rare, and for an excellent price. But if you choose to grab this DVD instead, then "SummerSlam 2000" is a pleasant way to kill 3 hours.

Match 1:Right to Censor (Steven Richards, Bull Buchanan and The Goodfather) defeated Too Cool (Scotty 2 Hotty, Grand Master Sexay and Rikishi) (with Victoria and Mandy)
Rating: 7/10-I had high hopes for this match, good wrestling, bad ending.
Match 2:X-Pac defeated The Road Dogg
Rating: 6/10-Ok Match not too interesting, if you ask me this was a pretty stupid match to have, they are team mates not enemies.
Match 3: Chyna and Eddie Guerrero defeated Val Venis (c) and Trish Stratus (Intercontinental Championship)
Rating: 8/10-Good Solid Match. Interesting finish and interesting match type, overall well worked match.
Match 4: Jerry Lawler defeated Tazz
Rating: 7/10-Pretty interesting match, funny build up, good ending.
Match 5: Steve Blackman defeated Shane McMahon (c) (Hardcore Championship)
Rating: 8/10-Good match, love the old hardcore matches of WWF, interesting finish.
Match 6: Chris Benoit defeated Chris Jericho
Rating: 9/10- Solid Wrestling, Awesome match.
Match 7: Edge and Christian (c) defeated The Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff) (with Lita) and The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) (Tag Team Championship, TLC)
Rating: 10/10- Awesome match with awesome wrestlers. PERFECT!
Match 8: The Kat (with Al Snow) defeated Terri (with Perry Saturn) (Stinkface match)
Rating: 4.5/10- Nothing really to this match. Basically an Eye Candy match. In my opinion, not really a PPV type match)
Match 9: The Undertaker fought Kane to a no contest
Rating: 8/10- I wouldn't really call this a match since it never really offically started. All this was filled with was spots and Taker trying to take Kane's mask off which he succeeds in doing at the end.
Match 10: The Rock (c) defeated Kurt Angle and Triple H
Rating: 8.5/10
Decent match. Kind of a one on one for the most part of the match. Good wrestling.

Total:76/100
Overall, I encourage you to purchase this PPV it had many good spots and many good matches.
Best Match: TLC
Worst Match: Stinkface Match
