@@nathanclark7484 everything on Raw was pretty terrible. Especially Triple H's reign of terror. His terrible matches, him buring wcw superstars & his inability to guide people throw good matches.
Agreed! I am happy someone FINALLY said this! Although the Light Heavyweight Championship was uber forgettable,that match wasn't! And the finish was super scary. Also kudos to Guerrero vs Rios. That was underrated too!
I think much of WWF's success in 2000 can be attributed to Chris Kreski, who worked his tail off to produce quality writing for the time he was on WWF's creative team.
I had King of the Ring on tape and because of some kind of snafu the commentary could be heard only vaguely with the volume turned all the way up. It was like being there in person without the pleasure of actually being there in person.
WWE Royal Rumble 2000 was awesome, Fully Loaded 2000 , Backlash 2000 Judgment Day 2000 and Summerslam 2000 were great aswell! 2000 was a great year for the WWE thats for sure! The Attitude Era!
What a year! Royal Rumble on Channel 4 was a major reason why WWF was huge in the UK. Everyone at school was into WWF - the perfect time to be a 13-year-old lad.
Rumble 2000 is maybe my fave event ever, it had pretty much everything I want from a wrestling show. Shocks, laughs, violence. But I think 20 years of hindsight is blanking you on how over Rikishi and Crash were, 2 of the most popular guys on the roster, which is really saying something back then.
Yeah, I know it's subjective but everything about the 2000 Rumble was perfect from its card to the execution. Fully Loaded was no doubt great too, however, I wouldn't put it ahead of the Rumble or SummerSlam - or Backlash for the matter.
Question, and I know you'll probably say "No, are you mental!?" anyway but oh well: would you ever consider doing a ranking of the WCW PPV's from certain years as well like you've done with WWE so far? I mean...you'd probably need some VERY strong alcohol to get through a lot of '99 and 2000, but still. Just curious. Apart from that, keep up the good work!
Backlash 100%!!!! The crowd was lit (no surprise), the matches were top tier, and the Austin pop was all there and more. That PPV is like today’s WrestleMania.
I'm suprised no one has talked about the poster/vhs cover for Armageddon 2000. Its got to be one of the more badass posters for a WWE event ever produced.
Oh man the By far GREATEST wrestling year ever! Most fun most exciting most watchable! Man my favorite wrestlers the rock and triple h were shining and at the top of their game and the company! Better times man wish we can go back 💪🏾🙏🏾
Still find it amusing that T&A vs Head Cheese and Godfather/D Lo vs Bossman/Buchanan made Mania 2000. These days, it would barely be a kickoff show match.
Cultaholic - Stone cold & The Undertaker were out for the year due to injuries Also Cultaholic - The undertaker & stone cold both included in the first few matches on the list 😂
It was still one hell of a spectacle. My family had PPV at the time and we had a party on that night because of WrestleMania. The adults of course weren't really there to watch the show much; my friend, sister and I were glued to the TV the entire time. We had chairs set up in our living room and mostly everybody stopped to check out that Ladder match and the main event. Being such a huge Rock mark, that ending was crushing. Backlash more than made up for it though. WrestleMania 2000 will always hold a special place in my heart.
Wrestlemania 2000 was like me as a kid booking every one of my WWF figures on the PPVs. Raw and Smackdown were limited to 6 matches. PPVs had to include everyone for some reason.
@@dallasarnold1803 might just be because its the first ppv i really remember watching fully. Thought the main event had a really good build and it was something different. The fact the tournament really built up both finalists too
Ah the best year, raw on Friday nights, the pg version of smackdown on Saturday morning then the uncensored version the same night, Sunday night heat then a ppv taped so I could watch it after school on the Monday.... Perfect
You (Pacitti) were bored one night on twitter and asked your followers for a random PPV to watch before you go to sleep. I recommended Fully Loaded 2000. You're Welcome.
Oh 2000. My favorite year of WWE, Pro Wrestling in general. Stacked upper card, stacked mid card, stacked tag team division, and even stacked women's division! Every single PPV i looked forward to, everybody delivered and just the feuds and matches!! WCW DID NOT stand a chance!
1. Summerslam 2. Royal rumble 3. Backlash 4. Fully loaded 5. Armageddon 6. No mercy 7. No way out 8. Wrestlemania 16 9. Unforgiven 10. Rebellion 11. Judgment day 12. Survivor series 13. Insurextion 14. King of the ring
The fact that in the UK we only ever got 5 ppvs on dvd is tradic. ( Wrestlemania 2000, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, King of the Ring and Summer Slam)
1. Backlash: 10/10 2. Judgement Day: 9/10 3. Royal Rumble: 9/10 3. Fully Loaded: 9/10 4. Summerslam: 8.5/10 5. No Way Out: 8/10 6. No Mercy: 8/10 7. Armageddon: 8/10 8. Survivor Series: 7.5/10 9. Rebellion: 7/10 10. Unforgiven: 6/10 11. Wrestlemania 2000 (or 16): 5.5/10 12. King of the Ring: 4/10 One of the best years for WWE PPV Quality!
Backlash 2000 is one of my favourite ever PPV's. It was incredible.
100%
Had that on vhs years ago, a classic
Same. The crowd was mental for the main event. Remember I taped it from channel 4😂
Arguably the strongest midcard, and maybe the strongest year for PPVs, we've ever seen.
I would have written that right now.
I loved 2000-2004 PPVs and era fr
It's not even arguable.
I can just hear JR in the early 2000s PPVs going banana on commentary lol. Love the channel keep up the great work and stay safe
Yeah great channel this! And I'm the same with JR.. he's awesome!
@@danielsmith7084cool wwe video
I feel like in terms of overall quality 2000 was the best year WWE ever had.
99-2003 for me was the absolute best.
@@nathanclark7484 2003 was terrible. Smackdown was the only good thing out of that year.
@@craiganderson5813 I liked it. I thought the roster was super stacked with talent that year
@@nathanclark7484 everything on Raw was pretty terrible. Especially Triple H's reign of terror. His terrible matches, him buring wcw superstars & his inability to guide people throw good matches.
It was 😀
My favorite PPV from this year was definitely Royal Rumble. I felt like after this year is when Triple H peaked.
Malenko v Scotty 2 Hotty at Backlash is legit the most underrated match ever.
FACTS!!!!! I was in high school and remember being disappointed in Mania but talkin to everybody about Backlash and how good that match was.
Agreed! I am happy someone FINALLY said this! Although the Light Heavyweight Championship was uber forgettable,that match wasn't! And the finish was super scary. Also kudos to Guerrero vs Rios. That was underrated too!
I agree, they put on a great match and that top rope DDT was crazy 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Likewise. I remember how well Scotty kept up with Malenko and both men put on a banger of a match.
Definitely unsurprising that a B-show claimed the top spot instead one of the "big 5." The "second-tier" PPVs in 2000 really delivered!!
2000 was my favorite year personally
Back then the Raw replay on Friday nights was Sky's most watched show on any channel other than the Premier League.
Wasn't a replay

Was he the head writer in WWF at the time?

@@dylanogg347 Awesome - I’ve been watching an interview of him. I knew of his name for many years but never saw his face

Cuz of steroids
You guys should take the #1 PPV from each video y’all did from years 1990-2000 and rank those 10 PPVS to determine the best one of the decade
2000 is probably the best overall year (at least creative wise) in WWE history. 1997 and 2008 are close though.
I really like 2004
2008 was shit the especially WWE going PG.
Which ironically had a disappointing WrestleMania
Nah 1999
@@AR_1121999 ppv quality was poor
2000 was my favorite year in wrestling. The peak of the Attitude Era, and it was interesting.
2000 was one of the best WWE years of all time 🔥💯
I had SummerSlam 2000 on tape and must've watched it dozens of times.
I had King of the Ring on tape and because of some kind of snafu the commentary could be heard only vaguely with the volume turned all the way up. It was like being there in person without the pleasure of actually being there in person.
That Backlash 2000 set was awesome.
2000 is easily WWEs best year. No arguing.

watching through the smackdowns and PPVs of this year with tom and maff has been quite fun so far
What a year! Royal Rumble on Channel 4 was a major reason why WWF was huge in the UK. Everyone at school was into WWF - the perfect time to be a 13-year-old lad.
I need to watch the main event of Armageddon 2000
2000 and 2008 in my opinion were the best wwe years of the 2000’s
2008?! The undercard and Midcard were trash in 08, 01-06 were all miles better
Don’t forget 2002
Maybe I judged a little prematurely it’s just a lot of the ppv’s were good even the weaker ones like survivor series and the great American bash
@@dallasarnold1803 forgot about that

2000 & 2001. I have been waiting for these,
That animation doesnt look like Lawler Waking up Laughing. It looks like he's up to something else
Ha Ha all my years watching i never heard that the pants undertaker wore was the godfathers🤣🤣
Everyone had a purpose... so true. Everyone had a storyline. And this was without the 12 odd titles they have today.
Been waiting for this forever!!!

I actually enjoyed KOTR 2000. The mainevent was so much fun.
Unforgiven 2000 should be in the top 5 for the Austin pop alone.
Still find it amusing that T&A vs Head Cheese and Godfather/D Lo vs Bossman/Buchanan made Mania 2000.
These days, it would barely be a kickoff show match.
The moment we all been waiting for, the new millennium for WWE, here we go!
Confused y rock is not on this thumbnail but awesome video.
Cultaholic - Stone cold & The Undertaker were out for the year due to injuries
Also Cultaholic - The undertaker & stone cold both included in the first few matches on the list 😂
Because those PPVS happened late in the year after they returned
Any year where there are 5 different contenders for best PPV for the year is absolutely insane
Def disagree about Jericho vs Kane at Armageddon 2000, that’s my favorite Kane match ever, awesome storytelling and just a very underrated match
In hind sight, WM16 wasn't all that... but honestly, as it happened live we all loved it!!

Fun Fact: Undertaker was originally supposed to wrestle Big Show at Summerslam but obviously Show was written off tv and sent back to OVW.
Backlash should've been ranked #1! That's just my opinion!
Oooooooh they were The Godfather's trousers... that explains everything. Never knew that.
5:42 on the subject on lost clothing, is Albert wearing an APA shirt?
He, Test and Trish Stratus wore APA with T&APA written on them instead
Undertaker dressed like 2000 Albert and 2003/4 Matt Hardy with those trousers lol
seems like Pacitti forgot about Foleys match vs Edge at WM 22. THAT was Foley's last REAL match
Vs sting at lockdown
Imagine a Every WWE Light Heavyweight Champions Ranked from WORST To BEST

Lita in that 6 person tag was insane, she threw everything at everyone 🤣
Props for putting Fully Loaded 2000 as Number 1 as it was the 1st WWE PPV I saw when it was Broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK.😄👍👍👍👍👍
2000 was a boom period
I've always liked the King of the ring 2000 tbf.
Feel like that was the last time the King of the ring actually meant something too
@@dallasarnold1803 might just be because its the first ppv i really remember watching fully. Thought the main event had a really good build and it was something different. The fact the tournament really built up both finalists too

1998-2002 best years of wwe

Kurt Angle walked out with a concussion.
Picture: Kurt Angle walked out with Stephanie McMahon in his Olympic arms.
I loved WrestleMania 16(2000)
It’s easier to give everyone a chunk of screen time and a mini feud when you don’t have a roster of 300 faceless, boring (though competent) nobodies.
I love these videos so much
Easily the best year for WWE. Without a doubt.
Ik 1999 was another good one tho
2016 was the best on recent memory
Agreed
2004
@Frank Adams you’re probably a pg era kid. Everyone knows 2000 is one of the greatest years.
17:52 to be fair at that point the statement you made Adam would elicit the same response from Bubba in either context.
"Pacitti is Legend" pass it on
Ah the best year, raw on Friday nights, the pg version of smackdown on Saturday morning then the uncensored version the same night, Sunday night heat then a ppv taped so I could watch it after school on the Monday.... Perfect

...So we’re not going to talk about The Kat shaking the goodies after the arm wrestling match?
Nope?
Just me?
Okay...
Once you rank 2021 you need to do an all time ranking of all WWE PPV's. That would be epic and amazing
You should start doing WCW soon
Every WCW 2000 ppv will be a rough watch! That was the dreadful New Blood era!!
1. Summerslam
2. Royal rumble

11. Judgment day
12. Survivor series
13. Insurextion
14. King of the ring
The fact that in the UK we only ever got 5 ppvs on dvd is tradic. ( Wrestlemania 2000, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, King of the Ring and Summer Slam)
There's the Tagged Classics series for all the PPVs on region 2 DVDs
5:37 RTC and Edge & Christian
I thought Backlash was a shoe-in for number one and it didn't even make the top three... :(
Wow Jericho put Benoit over on PPV more than I remembered.

Mania was good
Regal losing his title on British soil unfortunately wasn't the only tragic thing happening to him on WWE TV.
2000 (in wrestling) had it all!! All it needed was Shawn Michaels!
You telling me N0BODY had black trousers for Taker? Lol
Nice video
Fuckin Takers pants 🤣🤣🤣
Jericho vs triple H was THE BEAT MATCH THEY EVER HAD
You gotta do WCW as well now...and TNA...and ECW
That PPV streak tho....
Way better by far,I think every 2000 pay per view was great
99 pay pay views were hard to watch other than summerslam
so how far back are we going?
I have biggest fan rooting for i really love the attitude era on year 2000
Backlash 2000 not being Number 1 is a crime
I will never ever forget or forgive taker for wearing those pants 👖😂😂😂😂😤
