Every WCW PPV Of 2000 Ranked From Worst To Best
There are some really bad shows from WCW in 2000!
6. SuperBrawl 2000
As per usual, WCW sent out the cruiserweights to warm the crowd up at Superbrawl 2000, with Lash LeRoux and The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iaukea competing in the tournament final for the vacant Cruiserweight Title. It was just sort of…there.
So too was Brian Knobbs and Bam Bam Bigelow’s Hardcore Title match. Like much of what WCW were attempting in this era, it was a pale imitation of stuff WWE were doing far better on the other channel.
Another short and uninspired match came next in the form of Norman Smiley’s handicap match loss to 3 Count.
The theme continued with The Demon versus The Wall and Tank Abbott taking on Big Al in a Leather Jacket on a Pole match.
Shockingly this show was booked by Kevin Sullivan and not Vince Russo but you wouldn’t know it from the matches.
The show finally perked up seven whole matches in with Billy Kidman and Vampiro managing to wake the crowd up with an action-packed (albeit slightly sloppy) bout.
Unfortunately, the Sicilian Stretcher match for the tag titles between The Mamalukes and David Flair & Crowbar couldn’t keep the momentum going. Despite having some fun moments, it was a bit of a mess overall.
James Brown then showed up for a segment with Ernest Miller for some reason.
Ric Flair and Terry Funk’s Texas Deathmatch would have doubtless been better had it been 1989, but it was still fun to see the old boys out there doing their thing.
Speaking of old boys doing their thing, Hulk Hogan’s win over Lex Luger was basically a red-and-yellow greatest hits tape in what was Hogan’s second match back following his post-Halloween Havoc vacation.
And while we’re on the subject of phoning it in, the three-way WCW World Title main event of Sid vs. Scott Hall vs. Jeff Jarrett really should have been better considering the players involved. Scott Hall’s last WCW match was not exactly one to savour.
