10 Best WWE PPVs Ever
The 10 best WWE PPVs in history
9. Backlash 2000
When you talk about WWE’s best and most consistent years ever, you will invariably land upon 2000.
WWE had the balance right in the first year of the new millennium, with everything from the opening match to the main event firing on all cylinders and the product having a true ‘something for everyone’ feel about it.
That was reflected at Backlash, which was capped off by The Rock’s pulsating WWE Title victory over Triple H in a barnstorming sports entertainment spectacle notable for the tide-turning appearance of Steve Austin, who was still in the process of recovering from major neck surgery.
The promotion’s talent roster depth was on full display elsewhere, as Chrises Benoit and Jericho fought hard over the Intercontinental Title in a cracking match, Dean Malenko retained his Light Heavyweight Title in a gem with Scott 2 Hotty, Eddie Guerrero walked away with his European Championship after besting Essa Rios in an entertaining bout and Crash Holly emerged from a wild six-pack challenge with his Hardcore Title.
The show also featured a couple of very memorable moments, such as Bubba Ray Dudley finally putting Trish Stratus through a table and The Big Show cosplaying as Hulk Hogan to squash Kurt Angle.
