To start off this is 1 of the best if not the best ppv.8 incredible matches from begging to end.1st It starts off with Radicals vs. The Hardys & Lita. Great opener with high flying moves. 2nd Regal vs. Hardcore for the european belt. I will put it this way it was a better match than the one at Survior Series. 3rd Val Venus vs. Chyna. Not the best from these 2 competiters but very enjoyable.4th Last Man Standing Y2J vs Kane. I love this match it showed that Y2J was a tough SOB.5th 4 Corners Match for the Tag Team Belts Edge & Christian,The Dudleys,RTC,Road Dogg & K-Kwik. Fast paced, very exciting, and alot of tag team moves.6th Benoit vs. Billy Gunn for IC belt. Very good 1 on 1 match but I hated when Benoit locked on the crippler crossface.7th Triple Threat for Womens title Ivory vs. Trish vs. Molly Holly. I can summerize this match in 1 word PUPPIES.8th and the best Hell In A Cell for WWF belt Kurt vs. ABA vs. HHH vs. The Rock vs. Rikishi vs. Stone Cold. I can't even describe this match it's so awsome it has to be the match of the year. Hell In A Cell, Last Man Standing, 5 titles on the line, The top WWF superstars. Combine all these elements you got the best WWF ppv. So Stop Reading And Buy This Tape.

This was a great ppv. There were many good matches and an awesome main event. The Kane vs Chris Jericho last man standing match was a slow paced match with a great ending. The main event was a 6 man Hell In A Cell Match including Triple H, Rikishi, Kurt Angle, Undertaker, The Rock, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. This match lived up to all the hype and was long and brutal match. All in all this was a great ppv and worth the money for the video.

Armageddon was not the best PPV of 2000 but gave the 6 top performers in the WWF a chance to beat the crap out of each other.

1. Hardyz+Lita VS Radicalz: Great 6 man elimination match with all 6 competitors delivering. Eddie really deserves a push again into the IC belt.

2. Regal VS Hardcore Holly, European title: Regal is a great interview but he sucks at taking bumps. I think its Ravens debut run-in but I cant quite remember but he Evenflows Holly.

3. Chyna VS Val Venis: Val really didnt deserve to be paired with Chyna.

4. Jericho VS Kane, Last Man Standing: Nowhere near as good as Jericho/HHH at Fully Loaded but showcased both competitors fighting spirit.

5. Dudleyz VS Road Dogg/K-Kwikk VS RTC VS Edge and Christian, Tag titles: Sleeper of the show as soon as Road Dogg and K-Kwikk are eliminated and i think a certain leader of RTC gets put thru a table.

6. Billy Gunn VS Chris Benoit, IC Title: Average match by Benoits standards. Shows Billy Gunn did not desereve his push and should just go back to the New Age Outlaws with Road Dogg.

7. Molly Holy VS Trish VS Ivory, womens title: Trish is ace but ivory should just drop the title to Chyna.

8. Angle VS Taker VS Austin VS Rock VS Triple H VS Rikishi, Hell In A Cell, WWF Title: Not the best HIAC but KOTR 1998 would be hard to beat let alone No Way Out 2000. Anyway, all 6 men were bloodied and battered by the end which is essential in a HIAC match. I still would have liked to see Taker win it though after that amazing chokeslam from the top of the cell.

Overall Armageddon is good for one match with a patchy mid-card.

Armageddon was definately worth the purchase. However, most may say that this ppv was a bit dull, due to the low amounts of action involved. What really gets this event my high ranking is mainly the historic six man Hell in a Cell for the WWF Championship. A great match, and the most entertaining of all listed on the card. The other great matches are the European Championship battle, and the four corners Tag Team Championship. The matches and review for each are as follows:

1. Inter Gender Tag Team Elimination Match Hardy Boyz & Lita vs. Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko & Perry Saturn

A great match, but a predictable ending.

2. European Championship Hardcore Holly vs. William Regal

Definately better than their match at Survivor Series. One of the top of the night. Features interference from Raven.

3. Chyna vs. Val Venis

Absolutely the most stupidest and dullest match on the card.

4. Last Man Standing Chris Jericho vs. Kane

A good match, but way too long. Kane really seems kind of weak on this contest. Watch it and you'll see what I mean.

5. Four Corners Tag Team Championship Edge & Christian vs. Bull Buchanan & Goodfather vs. Road Dogg & K-Kwik vs. Dudley Boyz

Although it may upset some for Edge & Christian's victory, it was probably one of the best matches of the year, but doesn't contend with the TLC match at Summerslam.

6. Intercontinental Championship Billy Gunn vs. Chris Benoit

Alright match, but not one to sit through again.

7. Triple Threat Women's Championship Molly Holly vs. Trish Stratus vs. Ivory

Typical Women's title match. Nothing special. Ends quick.

8. Hell in a Cell WWF Championship Kurt Angle vs. Triple H vs. The Rock vs. The Undertaker vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Rikishi

Undoubtedly one of the greatest matches of the decade, though it did lack alot of blood and damage.

Even if you didn't like this ppv, you should get it anyway for nostalgia. They will probably never have these kind of matches again, so it's worth the price. Overall, a great way to end 2000.

Armageddon was an great event.There was an bunch of great matches with Hell in an Cell topping off the cake.It was funny to see Rikishi get chokeslammed off the top of the cell by the Undertaker but Kurt Angle won the match so that made me piss on myself.Anyway Armageddon was an knockout p.p.v which ended the year 2000 in an great way!

This ppv has it all... It's HELL IN A CELL enough said. EVERY MATCH DESERVES A 10++++

What happened here? This lineup of matches looked like we were gonna have a good time (I first saw this live in December 2000). What really hurts this PPV is that the heels win every match, but worse is that nothing really stands out when all is said & done. Well, let's tackle this one.

Elimination Match
The Hardy Boyz & Lita vs. Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, & Dean Malenko
---I actually liked the hype that went into this match. But considering that all six of these superstars have been in rougher bouts, the eliminations come very quickly. It's fast-paced, plus I'm always a sucker for Elimination matches. But it's way too short. Entertaining, but I expected more from these six incredible performers.
"6.0 out of 10"

European Championship
William Regal (champion) vs. Hardcore Holly
---After Regal gives a hilarious in-ring promo and disses the Alabama crowd, Holly enters the ring. Unfortunately, we then get a "Survivor Series 2000" encore. It's not horrible, but very average. Regal is doing his hardest to wrestle a good technical match, but the crowd just doesn't seem to care (odd considering Holly's from their homestate.) Raven makes a sudden run-in, which is neat. Overall, not much to say.
"5.5 out of 10"

Chyna vs. Val Venis
---Get ready for the Right To Censor music...you'll be hearing it a lot. I thought Chyna was a better brawler than people gave her credit, and Venis can sell movies very well. Solid, but forgettable.
"6.0 out of 10"

***We now get a 10-15 minute promo where Vince McMahon begs the crowd to protest the Hell-In-A-Cell Match. I actually liked this promo, even if it should've been an episode of "RAW", "SmackDown", or "Heat". I dunno, you'll have to decide for yourself.***
________________________________________________

Last Man Standing Match
Kane vs. Chris Jericho
---Another "Survivor Series 2000" rematch, only with supposedly more brutal stipluations. I was totally bored with this one. As if the PPV match wasn't bad enough, Kane & Y2J are way off their game tonight. It's not very violent or hardcore, and Kane practically dominates the whole thing. Jericho literally can't answer a ref's 3-count at one point. The ending is also unconvincing & cheesy. Skip this one and watch Jericho-versus-Triple H at "Fully Loaded 2000", instead.
"4.0 out of 10"
________________________________________________

Tag Team Championships
Edge & Christian vs. Bull Buchanan & The Goodfather (champions)
vs. Road Dogg & K-Kwik vs. The Dudley Boyz
---Not great, but each of the teams gets enough time to showcase their talent. I don't know how this title bout got booked, but if you think of it like an all-star ballgame, you might like it. Even though Dudleyz and E/C had classics earlier in the year, I can't complain too much.
"6.5 out of 10"
________________________________________________

Intercontinental Championship
Billy Gunn (champion) vs. Chris Benoit
---This s easily the best match on the card. Benoit is a master technician, and Gunn is a capable performer. In fact, this might be one of Gunn's best singles matches ever. A good back-and-forth match with some neat counters and good mat wrestling.
"7.5 out of 10"
________________________________________________

Women's Championship
Molly Holly vs. Trish Stratus vs. Ivory (champion)
---This match is literally only 4 minutes, and is meant to whet our appetites for the main event. Well, I mildly enjoyed myself, but overall a pointless cool-down contest.
"4.0 out of 10"
________________________________________________

Hell-In-A-Cell Match for the WWF Championship
Triple H vs. Rikishi vs. Kurt Angle (champion)
vs. The Undertaker vs. The Rock vs. Stone Cold
---Alright, the moment we've all been waiting for. Every participant got their own interviews and promos --- during the PPV, by the way --- to prove why they will leave the champ. Arguably the six best superstars in the WWF get to battle it out in the most dangerous structure ever created. So what do we get when the most violent, charismatic, technical, and determined performers get stuck in this Cell? Sadly, a 20+ minute slugfest. That's right: few neat spots, no tag action, little wrestling, and a high-spot that looks faker than it might've been. This Cell match won't be added to the classic archives. The door removal, Rikishi's infamous fall, and Undertaker's disappearance from the final minutes...all very convenient. Just because everyone bleeds (unconvincingly) and pulls off their finishers doesn't mean it's an epic battle. I kinda like it, but Cell matches have been much better than this.

OVERALL
There is no need to purchase ARMAGEDDON 2000. Benoit/Gunn is a very good title bout, but you can see Benoit in better classics on better PPVs. The Last Man Standing Match is a pathetic joke. The Lita/Malenko storyine didn't really climax; their Elimination Match was a crowd-pleasing opener, nothing more. This Hell-In-A-Cell Match is outclassed by almost every other Cell match to date, so SKIP IT.
You might like the PPV, but there's little reason to buy it, even you're a hardcore collector of all WWF/WWE Video.

Armageddon 2000

Hardys & Lita V Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko & Perry Saturn
Pretty good opener to the show with some cool moves. Dean sucks though. 7/10

European Championship - Hardcore Holly V William Regal
An alright match but nothing special. Raven interferes in the match. Not enough action to keep interesting. 5/10

Chyna V Val Venis
This was a load of crap and RTC sucked badly. The end is stupid too. 3/10

Last Man Standing - Chris Jericho V Kane
This was a pretty good match but it went wrong in various places. First off they go backstage, but there are camera problems and you can't see some of it. Back in the ring the match is quite good, and Jericho uses a chair a few times. After a while though the match really starts to drag. Later Jericho tries to put Kane through a table but it won't break! The end is quite good though. 7/10

Four Corners Tag Team Championship - Edge & Christian V Bull Buchanan & Goodfather V Road Dogg & K-Kwik V Dudleys
A decent enough tag match, but the rules are pretty weird as they can tag anyone not just their partner because only 2 people are in the ring at once. RTC loose the belts, but to E&C not the Dudleys. 6/10

Intercontinental Championship - Billy Gunn V Chris Benoit
This was supposed to be a push for Gunn to become a main-eventer again, but it didn't work as he didn't put in enough effort. 6/10

Women's Championship - Molly Holly V Trish Stratus V Ivory
This was too high on the card. At least it was short because no one cared they just wanted to get on to the main event. 4/10

WWE Championship Hell in a Cell - Kurt Angle V Triple H V The Rock V The Undertaker V Stone Cold Steve Austin V Rikishi
This was an incredible match and a brilliant way to end the year. By the end everyone is busted open except for Rikishi. Vince comes in with a truck and rips the door off the cell. Austin is put through a car window and Rock is pedigreed on a car. The spot of the match though is Undertaker chokeslamming Rikishi of the top of the cell onto a truck below. The only bad thing about this match is the abrupt ending. One of the best matches I've ever seen. 10/10

Overall
Get this for the Hell in a Cell. It makes this a 5-star event on its own!

If you are a WWF fan and missed the PPV, you should buy this tape. From top to bottom this was a good card but the result was amazing. The 6 Man Hell in A Cell match is amazing. Those 6 man basically destory each other. Chris Jericho/Kane in a Last Man Standing Match is also good. There is also 6 Man Tag, 4 Corners Tag Title Match, Women's Triple Threat, European and Intercontential Title matches and Chyna faces RTC member Val Venis. Buy the Tape and see Armageddon.

6-way hiac match for the title and a last man standing match. what else can u ask for!?
