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.

Overall Rating: 84%
