Every WCW PPV Of 2000 Ranked From Worst To Best
There are some really bad shows from WCW in 2000!
10. New Blood Rising
Vince Russo was back in the big seat as WCW’s creative force and sought to push fresh stars for New Blood Rising. Good intentions and a hungry roster will only get you so far if the gimmicks, angles, storylines and match finishes are horrendous, however.
The pay-per-view at least began on a positive note, with 3 Count and the Jung Dragons risking life and limb in a wild ladder match.
Great Muta and Ernest Miller couldn’t hope to follow them. Nor could Buff Bagwell and Kanyon in their Judy Bagwell on a Forklift Match.
The four corners tag team title match had two too many teams and three special guest referees – with Chavo Guerrero putting on a zebra shirt and joining the fun midway through, because why not?
Shane Douglas and Billy Kidman’s strap match should have been better. It also shouldn’t have been a strap match, but here we are.
That unnecessary stipulation was followed up with a good old-fashioned 'Mud Rip off the Clothes Match' between Major Gunns and Miss Hancock. The winner? Anyone who enjoys a terrible pun.
Sting then buried The Demon before Lance Storm retained his US Title match against Mike Awesome in a Canadian Rules match (which was basically a Texas Death Match with the ref counting a five instead of a three).
A second Kronik match wasn’t something that anyone ordered, let alone against Vampiro and a totally uninterested Great Muta.
Kevin Nash then beat Scott Steiner and Goldberg in the semi-main. Only after Da' Man had entered halfway through and then walked out again in an insufferable worked-shoot centred around him ‘refusing’ to take Big Sexy’s Jacknife Powerbomb finish.
Finally, Booker T retained his WCW World Title in a mediocre and overbooked match with Jeff Jarrett.
