Every WCW PPV Of 2000 Ranked From Worst To Best
There are some really bad shows from WCW in 2000!
7. Mayhem
Ready for more lacklustre, if not totally rotten, matches and terrible creative?!?
We check in with a damning indictment of the cruiserweight division’s decline, as ‘Above Average’ Mike Sanders battled Kwee Wee for the gold at Uncensored 2000.
Things picked up with some proper cruisers, as 3 Count, the Jung Dragons and the duo of Jamie Noble and Evan Karagias put on an entertaining three-team spotfest.
There’s only one way to follow a high-flying, all-action match like that: Jimmy Hart versus Mancow. Mancow wasn’t even some excellent Mantaur-type creation. It was just a man. A DJ or something. There was nothing cow about him.
The three-way Hardcore Title match was nothing we hadn’t seen a thousand times by this point and was boring as a result, while Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio’s handicap match victory over Kronik and Alex Wright was nobody’s finest hour.
The Cat and Shane Douglas stunk up the joint, with Bam Bam Bigelow and Sgt. Awol following suit. General Rection and Lance Storm then made it three for three in their United States Title match. The streak was then complete with a fourth stinker, this time between Buff Bagwell and Jeff Jarrett.
The streak was mercifully broken with The Insiders and The Perfect Event scrapping for the tag titles. They kept it simple, the fans responded and it was fine (making it one of the best things on the show at this point).
Lex Luger was as up for being squashed by Goldberg as you would predict, before we checked out with pay-per-view poster boy Scott Steiner beating Booker T in a Straightjacket Caged Heat Match to bag the WCW Title. They’d have better matches together, but this was about as good as you could expect from a WCW main event in this era.
