well this event could of been a little better but still good. It started out with the hardy boyz and lita against t@a and trish stratus (7/10). perry saturn against eddy gurrero was average 7/10. acolytes against edge and christian was a snooze fest 4/10. Kurt angle vs. undertaker was better than i expected 8/10. y2j against hhh in a last man standing was the best match 9/10. The main event was chris benoit against the rock in a pretty good match 8/10. I would pass on buying but it is good for a rent or two.

When I first saw the card for Fully Loaded, I expected a good show. But I was wrong. The show was excellent. Easilly one of the WWF's best Pay Per Views for a long time. The show starts off with an exciting opener between The Hardy Boyz & Lita and T&A & Trish Stratus. Next match was a decent one between Tazz and Al Snow. Perry Saturn took on Eddie Guererro in a fair match. Edge & Christian squared off with The Acolytes in a poor match (the only poor match of the night). Rikishi took on Val Venis in a good cage match. The Undertaker then faced Kurt Angle in the first of a Triple Main Event. Chris Jericho t00k on Trtiple H in an absolutely cracking Last Man Standing match. And finally, The Rock squared off with Chris Benoit in a strong main event. Overall, Fully Loaded was the second best PPV of the year (behind Backlash.).

seeya!

MATCH 1: The Hardy Boyz And Lita Vs TNA And Trish Stratus - 7/10
Great opener at a good length.

MATCH 2: Tazz Vs Al Snow - 5/10
Why was this on here?

MATCH 3: EUROPEAN TITLE - Eddie Guerrero Vs Perry Saturn - 7/10
Another good match.

MATCH 4: TAG TEAM TITLES - The Acolytes Vs Edge And Chrsitian - 4/10
Bad match and a bad ending.

MATCH 5: STEEL CAGE MATCH - INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE - Val Venis Vs Rikishi - 8/10
Very good, rikishi dives off the top of the cage onto val venis.

MATCH 6: Kurt Angle Vs The Undertaker - 7/10
Good match although perhaps a little too long.

MATCH 7: LAST MAN STANDING MATCH - Triple H Vs Chris Jericho - 9/10
Match of the year candidate.

MATCH 8: WWF TITLE: The Rock VS Chris Benoit - 9/10
Great match, Chris Benoit wins by DQ so Mick Foley come out and restarts the match.

Overall Event Rating: 8/10

This PPV blew me away.... Wrestlemania 2000 was huge, but for a low PPV like this one was amazing!

Lita and Team Extreme vs. T&A and Trish 5/10
It was an ok opener, could of been better if Lita and Trish got at it more

Perry Saturn vs. Eddie Guerro European title match 6/10
This match was boring and the little Chyna, Terri thing was dumb and pointless, but Perry and Eddie put on a good match

Rikishi vs. Val Venis IC Title Cage Match 6/10
RIKISHI OFF THE TOP OF A CELL??? WHAT! Yes Rikishi does fly off the cell but still loses the match because of Tazz??

Tazz vs. Al Snow 3/10
BORING! Both of them should just stick to Tough Enough, and Commentary

APA vs. Edge and Christian 4/10
This match blew by so fast, nothing happened

Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle 6/10
Again this match blew by fast also, but Taker put on a show

Chris Jericho vs. Triple H Last Man Standing 8/10
AMAZING! Jericho started his carerr on this match he deserves all the credit for this match.. Started out slow, and pretty boring but ended with a BANG!

The Rock vs. Chris Benoit with Shane McMahon WWE CHampionship 10/10

Match of the year!! With the little interference with Shane just made the match that much better! This match was a high paced brawl.. Where Foley reversed the decision, where the Rock won!!

First I would Like to say that I was there and that the graham dude is a moron. A last man standing match is just what it says, the last man standing wins...you cannot tap out. Now about the show. It was a somewhat predictable Pay per view, at least for the matches that you cared about.

The Hardy Boyz and Lita vs Trish Stratus and T&A

Great opening match, but it was then booked two weeks later on Heat, and that really diminished the credibility of the card.

6 out of 10

Now, the next two matches I don't remember the order because I was up at the concession stands but I did watch them on the monitor. They remind me of Rock Bottom, the WWF pay per view in Dec. of 1998. It was a pay per view that had a lot of unhyped and television-type quality. These matches were not pay per view quality!

WWF EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP
Eddie Gurerro (C) vs Perry Saturn

Eddie lost, and that is always good

Taz(z) vs Al Snow

It is an Al Snow match. The Jerry Lawler vs. Taz(z) match was more interesting. Don't get me wrong, I love Al Snow, but this was a match that someone just pulled out of the air one day.

WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Edge and Christian (C) vs APA

OH MY GOSH! This was a total waste of time. I would have rather seen the Al Snow match and gone to the concession stands during this match. The hated champions get themselves disqualified so they can keep their championships. I realize that the WWF was saving them for the next ppv, but why would you book the match then? This match was a match that WCW would be embarrassed to air.

WWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
CAGE MATCH
Val Venis (C) vs Rikishi

2ND BEST MATCH OF THE NIGHT. Excellent match, especially the big bump from the 480 pound Rikishi when he jumped off the top of the cage. The only bad part was the ending. It ended when Taz(z) came down and hit Rikishi with a big camera when he was about to win. This match ended in typical WWF fashion and a feud that went no where.

TRIPLE MAIN EVENT

The Undertaker vs Kurt Angle

Well, at least Angle lost. His biggest offensive move was that deadly and dreaded knee lock! I know, you are so horrified. If you would have blinked, you would have missed the match. Undertaker did hit the last ride and the chokeslam, and Angle did act like an idiot, so all was good. The worst thing was the fact that they had a rematch the next night on Raw.

LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
Triple H vs Chris Jericho

AMAZING MATCH! One of HHH's best (as well as Y2J's). I would rank it right up with the matches against Cactus Jack and Stone Cold Steve Austin (at No Way Out 2001). Seeing Steph put in the walls of Jericho was cool, as well as all the blood. Those men gave their souls that night, and the crowd loved it. It is without a doubt the greatest match that I have ever witnessed live.

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP
The Rock (C) vs Chris Benoit

A very hyped match that was meaningless the next night on Raw. It was a good match until The Rock used the Sharpshooter. THAT IS BRET HART'S MOVE!!!! He also used the crippler crossface way too much. Frankly, the only good part of the match was when Foley came out because it is always cool to see Foley and it would be my last time to see him in person. It ended with The Rock winning and leaving about 2 minutes after Benoit and didn't even get pops from the crowd. Foley stayed longer.

Overall, the PPV was pretty good. The HHH vs Y2J match stole the show and could be considered the best match of 2000. Buy it if you like good wrestling.

Fully Loaded is defiinately the best PPV I have seen all year. All of teh WWF's big stars were there, such as Undertaker, HHH, The Rock, Chris Jericho and more. The matches were all of high quality and very entertaining. The bloody Last man standing match between Jericho and HHH was one of the best matches this year. The Benoit vs. The Rock Title match was full of entertaining moves blood. The cage match between Rikishi and Val Venis for the Intercontinental Title involved one of the most awesome things I've seen for a long time, as Eikishi climbed to the top of the cage and splashed Venis who was 15 feet below in the ring. This ppv included many more exciting matches also, like Kurt Angle vs Undertaker and Tazz vs. Al Snow. I am definately going to buy this video on September 19.

I saw this event live on ppv and thought it was pretty good for an experimental ppv. The show started off with a six-person tag team match that saw T & A and Trish Stratus vs. the Hardy Boyz and Lita. Pretty good match that saw Lita showing off her high flying ability. Next up was Tazz vs. Al Snow, the match was a little slow with some high spots, nothing memorable though. Next up Perry Saturn vs. Eddie Guerrero for the European title, some high flying and power moves involved in this match. Fourth, the tag team champions Edge & Chirstian defened their belts against the Acolytes. Next was Rikishi vs. Val Venis in a steel cage match for the Intercontinental championship. Rikishi leaped off the top of the 15-foot steel cage on to Val. Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle was next. Taker got his revenge on the American Hero. Triple H vs. Chirs Jericho in a last man standing match was 7th. Excellent match that sees HHH bleed profusly. Last was Chris Benoit vs. the Rock for the WWF title. Awesome match that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. Overall another great ppv from the WWF. Buy it.

I was there live and it was great. The only disappointment was only one title changed hands and that was Perry Saturn defeating Eddie Guerro for the European title. The best match was Rikishi vs. Val Venis in a steel cage for the Intercontinental title when Rikishi did the Jimmy Snuka off the top of the cage and onto Val Venis's ribs. I loved watching The Hardy Boyz w/Lita beating T&A w/Trish, especially when Lita kicked Trish's ass. As usually Edge and Christian kept the belts after getting themselves disqualified after using the belts on the Acolytes. I was pretty sure Tazz was going to choke out Al Snow. Lot of blood in the Last man standing match when Triple H beat Chris Jericho by one second. The Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle was the funniest because Angle just didn't stand a chance bsides he was still too paranoid. I was proud of Mick Folly when heordered the main event to continue after Benoit thought he won the belt from the Rock, but the Rock won in the end.

Fully Loaded. Those 2 words alone can tell you how good this PPV was. I ordered it on tv, and I was totally blown away. I was expecting everybody I wanted to win would lose. I was totally wrong! Matches include: 1. 6 person tag team match:Hardy Boyz w/ Lita vs. T&A w/ Trish Stratus. 2. Tazz vs. Al Snow. 3. Tag Team Championship:Edge&Christian vs. Acolytes. 4. Steel Cage match for Intercontinental Championship:Val Venis vs. Rikishi. 5. Bonus match:Shane McMahon challenges "The Great One" himself, The Rock. TRIPLE MAIN EVENT 6. Kurt Angle vs. Undertaker 7. Last Man Standing match:Triple H vs. Chris Jericho 8. WWF Championship:Chris Benoit vs. The Rock

Let's cut to the chase: WWF FULLY LOADED 2000 is an overlooked gem, and one that deserved to be on DVD so that more fans could see it. It's not perfect; but sometimes pacing and energy are all you need to forget the missteps. I'm psyched to type about this, so here's what we got:

1) T&A and Trish Stratus v. The Hardy Boyz & Lita
---There are few openers better than this 6-person Tag Team Match. It clocks in at about 15 minutes, and the crowd was at an unbelievable fever pitch. The physicality is stiff, the women don't resort to catfight tactics, and the action just never stops. A textbook definition of how to get a show started! (8.0 / 10)

2) Tazz v. Al Snow
---FULLY LOADED loses a bit of steam, starting with this one. I think fans' expectations were high because both of these guys were ECW veterans. It's really not as bad as some say, because Snow & Tazz are working their butts off to put on a good show. But Snow & Tazz don't make us care as much as we want to. (5.5 / 10)

3) European Title - Eddie Guerrero (champion) v. Perry Saturn
---Considering these guys have worked in Japan, ECW, and WCW...they should've done better than this. When they go fast, moves are botched and it takes us out of it. When they go slow, it's not slow in a good way. Not a terrible match, but very disappointing by Saturn & Guerrero standards. (5.5 / 10)

4) Tag Team Titles - Edge & Christian (champions) v. The Acolytes
---Easily the worst match on the PPV. The Canadian champs always knew how to get a crowd to hate them, but Faarooq & Bradshaw were better characters than they were wrestlers. Frankly, this one doesn't deliver. Don't get me started on the cheap finish, either. But have no fear, the PPV is going to get much better from here. (4.0 / 10)

5) Steel Cage Match for Intercontinental Title - Rikishi v. Val Venis (champion)
---The Samoan Butt Man in a Steel Cage?! You read it right, and the bout is more brutal and entertaining than any review could explain. It's fast-paced and stiff. Venis and Rikishi had a good match at KING OF THE RING, but it's got nothing on this one. To top it off, Rikishi performs a high-risk move that will make you gasp! I don't wanna give it away (though other reviewers have), but you won't believe it. Overall, surprisingly one of the year's better PPV matches. (8.0 / 10)

6) Kurt Angle v. The Undertaker
---FULLY LOADED 2000 advertised a Triple Main Event, which starts here. To be honest, this one's hard to call. On the positive side, the match features some good counters and brawling from the two rivals. However, the downside is that Taker and Angle went on to have masterpieces in the years since. Forget "years since" --- their SURVIVOR SERIES 2000 contest wipes the floor with this one. Plus, the WWF would make Angle a superstar one month, and then embarrass him the next. Talk about a weird character development. This Angle/Taker encounter is pretty solid, but time hasn't been kind to it. (6,5 / 10)

7) Last Man Standing Match - Triple H v. Chris Jericho
---This "WWF BEST OF 2000" entry is arguably the greatest Last Man Standing Match of them all. There's really not much else to say, other than Y2J & HHH were never in better physical shape than they were tonight. Seriously, these guys just beat the crap out of each other, and then some. Anyone who thinks Triple H does nothing but "use his political power" better watch this one to find out why earned it. Weapons, physical wrestling, blood, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, Spanish table......it's all here for out sadistic enjoyment! (8.5 / 10)

8) WWF Championship - Chris Benoit v. The Rock
---Let me first admit this: I hated The Rock in the year 2000. When he first became a face, I his matches' quality suffered. He barely had any creative offense or storytelling; might as well have put bright red 'S' on his chest. Now that I got that rant out of the way, this main event is a masterpiece! Rock and Benoit were perfect opponents, and I wish they squared off more. Rock is forced to compete in a technical match, which is a treat for anybody to watch --- he's really entertaining when he throws in some old-school grappling. Benoit was as tough & aggressive a competitor as anybody. I would probably call this his first WWF/WWE classic, even though he'd already entertained me plenty before. Throw in a "Rock-Loses-Title-If-DQ'ed" stipulation, and you've got the only reason needed to buy this videotape. (9.0 / 10)

OVERALL
---WWF FULLY LOADED 2000 never got a DVD release, and it probably never will. Unfortunately, the Benoit murder/suicide jeopardizes the main event from ever being re-released. HHH/Jericho is available on the "THAT DAMN GOOD" DVD, but that's it. Every other match is only on this tape, and if you pass it up, you're missing a awesome Tag opener & Cage match. WWF FULLY LOADED 2000 has some of the year's best matches, and remains the year's best overall PPV.
