1. Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanon defeated D-Lo Brown and Godfather by pinfall
Wow, you really want to open your biggest show of the year with this?
Rating: .25 (out of 5)
2. Hardcore Holly won the Hardcore Battle Royal by pinfall to win the Hardcore Championship
For as big of a trainwreck that this match was, there were some fun spots. The ending still has me confused though?
Rating: 1.5
3. T&A defeated Head Cheese by pinfall
I love Al Snow, but man was this match ever horrible. That's 2 duds already.

4. Edge and Christian defeated The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz in a Ladder Match to win the Tag Team Championships
***Match Of The Night***
Well, here's your show saver right here. As if you didn't know that by now. These guys put every ounce of effort into this match and it paid off, as this was a classic.

JR warned that this match was not for people who use the star system to rate matches. So in other words this one gets a...

6. Too Cool and Chyna defeated Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn by pinfall
Why would you have Chyna pin one of the greatest performers of all time at WrestleMania? I'm sorry, I don't care what the storyline is, that should have never happened.
Rating: 2
7. Chris Benoit defeated Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle by pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship
Chris Jericho defeated Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle by pinfall to win the European Championship
This was a good solid match, but deep down, I know it would have been better without the goofy stipulation and had it ben given more time. However, on this show, I'll take any good match I can get.
Rating: 3
8. Kane and Rikishi defeated X-Pac and Road Dogg by pinfall
This was nothing more than a Raw match.
Rating: .75
9. Triple H defeated The Rock, Mick Foley, and The Big Show by pinfall
This was a good main event and I'm still shocked to this day that it got over a half hour. I didn't like how early The Big Show was eliminated or the way that Foley went out, but there were some good moments in here. There were also a few sloppy ones and the McMahon storyline overshadowed the match at times (big surprise, right?). This is one of the rare moments where the heel won in the main event at WrestleMania.
Rating: 3.5
Well, this show is prety hard to rate. You have 2 matches at 0, but have one of the best matches in WrestleMania history. There is just so much crap on here that I can't give it much higher of a rating than...

Royal Rumble 2000
1. Tazz defeated Kurt Angle by submission
This was Tazz's debut with the WWF and he got a huge ovation. However, he really didn't do much after this, but it was a fun moment. Kurt Angle was already approaching greatness at this point.
Rating: .75 (out of 5)
2. The Hardy Boyz defeated The Dudley Boyz by throwing them through tables
This was actually a pretty awesome match that is forgotten because of all of the classic ladder matches. This was a total ECW-style brawl, but was pieced together better than most matches of that style.
Rating: 3.75
3. Chris Jericho defeated Chyna and Hardcore Holly by pinfall to win the Intercontinental Championship
This was much better than I remembered, even though Chyna is just horrible. I don't know why they forced Jericho into a feud with her. What a waste.
Rating: 2.5
4. The New Age Outlaws defeated The Acolytes by pinfall
Why did they book this match if it was only going to be three minutes? Not that I'm complaining.
Rating: .5
5. Triple H defeated Cactus Jack by pinfall
***Match Of The Night***
Well, this was fricken awesome. Not that you probably don't know that by now. Foley brought the goods and Triple H proved he's willing to take a beating. An absolute classic.
Rating: 4.75
6. The Rock won the Royal Rumble
This was actually a pretty lackluster Rumble. They really missed Austin and Undertaker's star power and the first half was pretty brutal. There were some good moments, but overall not the best Rumble match.
Rating: 2.25
Well, things were going along great, but the Rumble didn't deliver. On the other hand, you have one of the greatest WWF/E title matches of all time and a really good tables match. Automatic thumbs up there.
