Wrestlemania 2000 Review

 


Wrestling fans there's one event that we all look forward to each and every year and well with this years Wrestlemania over I thought that i'd take a trip down memory lane. I do have to say that i've been trying to find a copy of this particular Wrestlemania for some time and as look would have it I happend to find a copy of this particular Wrestlemania today and so you just know that I had to review this event and so join me as I review the WWE / WWF PPV event that is known as Wrestlemania 2000 but is actually called simply just "Wrestlemania" enjoy.

Now I didn't become a wrestling a few months after this event and as such i don' really know what the main storylines going into this event were / was. However they do a good job of letting you know what the main stories are going into this event and so as such you don't really have to gave seen any of the shows leading up to this event and you can just watch this even and get a really good idea as to what the stories are going into this event.


The set for this show is the first thing that I thought that this event did wrong since the set for this event is just so bland. Which isn't something that you'd want to see when your looking at a Wrestlemania set / stage since when you think of a Wrestlemania set / stage you think of something that's big and in a way outlandish which is sadly not the case with particular set / stage since the set / stage for this particular event is very minimalistic and it's just uninteresting to look at in my opinion.

There's just so much dead space when it comes to the set / stage used in this show since there's alot of room both at the top and at the side. Which could have been used to make the set / stage all the more interesting and hell they even could have gone with a theme for this particular Wrestlemania which they sadly don't do and so I gave to wonder the idea for this set / stage design even was and I have to wonder why there's so much dead space since it makes the set / stage design all the more lazy.


It was while watching this event that I was reminded of how good of a wrestler the late Joanie Laurer AKA Chyna actually was. Since she does put on a good match in this event which shouldn't come as a surprise since she's working with Too Cool and the three members of The Radicalz that we actually want to remember fondly and all of those guys can get good performances out of anybody and it honestly saddens me that it took us along time to convince the WWE and all of those in charge at the WWE along time in order to get Chyna / Joanie Laurer into the WWE Hall Of Fame.


Out of all of the matches that are featured on the match card for this event the one which has the most confusing set of rules is the Hardcore Championship Battle Royal match. Simply because even tho it's a battle royal match the wrestlers are allowed to fight outside of the ring and for some unknown reason you can only pin the champion in order to win the Hardcore Championship which doesn't make sense in the context of the match since when big bad Viscera wins the Hardcore Championship everyone try and fails to pin him and yet it would have made more sense to try and pin someone smaller and weaker like for example Crash Holly but I guess that that just makes far to much sense.

I do believe that many wrestling fans consider this WrestleMania to be one of if not the worst Wrestlemania of all time and if so I can quite frankly see why. Since there's nothing that really stands out about this particular Wrestlemania since there are alot of botches to be found all over this event and what makes matters worse is that the WWE choose angles where you can quite clearly see that the wrestlers aren't hitting each other and it honestly makes the WWE and the WWE superstars look like jokes which for a WWE branded PPV should never ever be the case in my opinion.


I would very much like to talk about the women's match of this show but honestly the only women's match that they have is just so bad thats it's not even worth talking about but i'm going to talk about it anyways. Honestly what would have made this womens even watchable would have been if it was a tag team match and both of the women which in this case Kat and Terri were teamed up with people who could actually wrestle since then the match would be watchable and not the mess that we actually ended up with.

Thus event has a total running time of three hours and twenty one minuets and thirty five seconds and I have to be honest this event doesn't feel that long at all. If anything this event felt like it was three hours long and not three hours and twenty one minuets and thirty five seconds long but with that said some matches could have been a bit shorter like for example the Triangle Ladder match and the Hardcore Championship Battle Royal match since both matches did start to drag on for me personally but I would fully understand it if someone didn't want either of those matches cut down or for that matter even trimmed down.


Now then boys and girls this is a wrestling show after all and that means that I have to discuss / talk about the actual wrestling that's featured / presented to us in this actual wrestling event and if i'm being honest apart from the women's the actual wrestling that was on display during this event wasn't that bad. Since there was a lot of really good moves being performed with next to no missed spots but as i've mentioned there was alot of botches which were very noticeable tho and that did bring down the overall quality of the wrestling for me personally and in my personal and very humble and in my very honest opinion anyways.


Overall yikes was this wrestlemania bad it was honestly laughable at how bad this particular wrestlemania was in my opinion since alot of the things that I found / took issue with in this event could have very easily have been fixed or altered oh well at least the next wrestlemania is one that alot of wrestling fans myself included say us the best wrestlemania of all time. Since i've talked about all of the good and all of the bad things that in this particular event this even gets a score of a 3.5 out of 10 from me and as for where I got all of the images that I used in this very review well I got all of the images that Iu used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and Google Images with my personal preferred website to use to get images this even or any wrestling even for that matter is the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page jst simply due to the fact that they have alot of images from a lot of different wrestling events up on the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page.
