The Briscoes
It was a honor to grow up as a 9-10 year old kid during the year 2000. This felt like the wwf was life. Wouldn’t miss one show. I miss these days so much
I was 9-10 during the hulk Amanda ara 😒
yup I was in the 5th grade in 2000 I remember a lot of this
I was 6 years in new delhi in India
I was in university at this time, thinking the product couldn't be geared toward kids whose voice hadn't changed yet. Something so odd about hearing "Suck it!" said by kids.
That said, I would have loved for this era to have shaped my life probably as much as the one that did.
Yh I loved wwe in the early 2000s man. Though I started watching wrestling in the 90s, my most nostalgic memories are from the early 2000s
December 1999 to January 2000 was when I started watching raw and SmackDown every single week. My friends were always into it and so I would watch a little bit for them but then I moved away from my friends to a new state and watching wrestling helped me feel connected to them... And quite frankly I was completely hooked with that storyline of triple h and the McMahon Helmsley era, and The Rock and Mick Foley fighting the power.. I stayed and kept watching every week for a few years after but I always looked back very fondly on this time.
Did you stay in touch with them once you moved? The same happened to me but lost contact with my friends
The early 2000s and the late 90s was the hottest Wrestling EVER got the ratings were so high on a weekly basis I doubt itll EVER be the same or as high again! Sadly theyll never have another Stone Cold or Rock let alone others like Taker, Kane, Trips etc.... The Roster back then was so staked!!
The late 80s to early 90s was also an iconic time for wrestling: Hogan, Andre, Savage, Flair, Warrior, Piper, DiBiase, Taker, etc...
@@jp3813 yea I remember watching Mania 6 and my step brother was a hulkamaniac and I was a huge Warrior fan! What a great time that was and the memories are the best!
Couldn’t agree more, man, I used to race home to watch this every saturday in the uk. Every raw I would tune in late nights,
I swear my family thought I was watching porn lol, I was hooked man
Stacked*
The issue isn’t whether there will be another *insert wrestler’s name*. The issue is a direct result of going public and buying up their last competitor when Turner sold WCW to Vince. They control too much, down to fully scripted promos to insure they keep it clean while stifling the any creativity these weather today might have all so they don’t piss off investors. They can be as campy as the 80s and early 90s and as clean as a Disney show, because there is no direct competition making them look old and played out. The WWF suffers from the same thing Madden Football does. Being the only show in town ruins a great product. AEW will never be to the WWE what WCW was to the WWF.
In 2000 it was arguably the greatest year. The storylines was next level.
Kinda overatted
@@coolj661 "overatted" jajajaja
@@coolj661don’t be stupid
Eh but they were relying heavily on wcw talent that jumped. I’d say 98 was perfect for all companies
Facts
Kurt Angles accomplishments this year are ridiculous lol, this man won every major championship and KOTR all in one year
What made it so impressive too Is that it wasn’t forced either..He stepped right in and was already a natural in the ring and on the mic..
For me, 2000 is without a doubt the best year ever for wrestling and it really shows you how strong the company was that the absence of Stone Cold or Undertaker didn't hurt anything at all. The Rock was the most popular wrestler ever, Triple H was the biggest heel, Kane was on fire (no pun intended) Kurt Angle stepped up to become a big player.
Lots of guys stepped up to make names for themselves and the tag team division was stacked. Undertaker returned as the American Badass to fit into the the 00s, Stone Cold came back more vicious than ever. Every ppv from start to finish was red hot, there's a good reason why 2000 is still looked at as the best year ever.
Great video as always and keep up the good work
If you're only watching the WWF, perhaps. But 2000 was when WCW & ECW were on their last legs. The late 90s was on a whole different level when the Monday Night Wars was at its peak.

Lita, Trish & the Radicalz were huge additions to the WWF in 2000. The Radicalz jump from WCW was a major factor in WWF winning the war.
Very proud to had grow up during this era. At the time it felt hard without Stone Cold until he finally returned from injury until September of 2000 at Unforgiven, it was still a awesome year for WWF. I say what was great about that year, the TLC matches, Benoit, Guerrero, Saturn and Malenko debut, Triple H vs Foley street fight and Hell in a cell match, The Rock vs Triple H Iron man Match, Undertaker Return, Lita defeated Stephanie McMahon for the Women's championship. Kurt Angle Rise and Stone Cold Steve Austin return.I am sure there are other moments but these my favorites.
The year 2000 was by the far the greatest year in WWF.
I was at the RAW where Jericho won the title and where Linda came out to announce that Stone Cold would he at backlash. That was the loudest pop I ever heard at a wrestling event.
Mannnn I wanna turn back time and relive my childhood 😫
I've never seen a guy as big of a phenomenon as The Rock was, lose so many matches. (Maybe Lex Luger?) Wrestlemania 16 should have been his "title win at Wrestlemania moment" that most babyface champions have. It shouldn't have been at Backlash.
If that happened today , people would be
Whining so much
Right it took him over a year to regain the title. Then he loses it a month later to triple h which was ridiculous.
@@AD-ur1fk Exactly! Vince always wanted Triple H to be bigger than The Rock but the fans felt differently. I always sensed some bitterness with Vince regarding Rock's popularity. That's why I was glad Rock left the way he did... on his own terms.
@@lexkanyima2195 I never said that's why he left. I said I was glad he did, the way he did. Vince likes to have control of the wrestlers til the day they die. He'll use you until you break every bone in your body--as long as he can make money off of you. Vince once told Hogan: "Nobody, ever REALLY leaves the business". That was Vince's way of saying: "your ass belongs to me forever".
Rock was one of the first to kinda change that narrative. He left at a very young age, with his health intact and the rights to his name. It's about control and respect! I don't think Vince or Triple H had much respect for Rock's wrestling career. That's why I was glad he got out when he did--he took control of his legacy before they could ruin it. imo
@@blkd25 the unpredictability of the Attitude Era is what made it so great. In the past, faces always won the main event at Wrestlemania but 2000 was the first time that didn't happen.
I turned 7 during the summer of 2000...Me and my older bro had it all...N64,PS1,Dreamcast,Game boy Color,Toonami,Cartoon Network on Fridays,Slime Time,WWF,WCW,ECW,Blockbuster,
NBA,NFL...The year 2000 could do no wrong
I loved when Mick came back as commissioner! Better days were looking up 😅
1998 and 2000 are amongst the very best years in WWF history imo.
I notice a lot of people skip over 99..I thought 99 was amazing because of Austin and the Ministry, but I’m assuming the Owen Hart tragedy puts a stain on 99 huh?
@@Dre0122 austing and taker being injured is what ruined 1999
They really botched mania 16. Obviously due to backstage politics on hhh part. They made up for it with backlash but that should've been mania 16 imo
2000-2002 were the best years in prp wrestling terms of star power and character work.
If you noticed in the beginning of 2000 the roster was so stacked. But by the end of 2000, the roster was half gone.
The reason was that with Steph and HHH getting more power, they were firing all of the "Vince Russo guys" like D'Lo Brown, Gangrel, Headbangers, Tiger Ali Singh, Mean Street Posse, Mideon & Viscera, etc. In Val Venis's and Al Snow's cases, they were given bad creative but they weren't fired. It really pissed me off and made me feel good that I quit watching WWF by that point. I was watching AJPW (All Japan) as my #1 promotion in 2000, followed by WCW #2 and ECW #3.
@@albalog2449 Those guys weren't big names. Most of the Attitude Era's main eventers and top midcarders were still on the roster in 2001-03.
This is why No Mercy on N64 is always a fun game to come back to because of the year it was set in and it's stacked roster. 2000 really was peak attitude era as from 2001 it would slowly start declining into what it is today
You mean the best technical workrate it has been since the early 90s then yes I agree instead of crash tv
Like Buddy said, it slowly then quickly became trash after 2001
@@negrosuave9315 yep when Austin teamed up with HHH and Vince after Wrestlemania , that was pretty much it for me..Even at 13 when that happened, I was like yea this is starting to get ridiculous now lol…I still watched it, but just casually..I was nowhere near as engaged as I was before..
Attitude Era Ultimately Faded In 2001
Reason why it's hard to go back and watch these raws. A nauseating amount of hhh and steph
The biggest negatives I'd say are the in-ring absences of Austin, Taker, & Foley. The Monday Night Wars was also a shell of its former self.
@@lexkanyima2195 That's the point.
Yeah 2000 was when WWF was the most talked about thing globally but it lacked some big characters
@@lexkanyima2195 Yeah but I'm talking about Stone Cold, Undertaker, Foley.... they weren't active all year like in the two years prior
@@lexkanyima2195 It was for me as a Stone Cold fan
@@GoGetYourShinebox Stone cold was missed but Rock feuding with DX and the Faction was pretty good.
2000 will always have a special place in my heart, in fact I started watching on April 10, 2000 the night The Rock defeated both the Big Boss Man & Bull Buchanan in a Handicap Steel Cage Match.
Also Andy you do a fantastic job with summarizing the years. I really appreciate this effort and the time you took to make this for us. This was a most enjoyable time of my life.
2000 had everything. The best roster they ever had, probably the best returns ever in Austin and undertaker, probably the best debut with jericho, great storyline and some incredible matches. Although 97 and 98 were great it was only because of austin and mcmahon, 2000 had the whole package
I watched WWF from 88-92 bowed out after that, started watching early 2000 again before bowing out again end of 2002… I think I caught the best times in the company’s history. Both periods were fantastic.
Give '97 to '99 a chance though. '87 was also significant.
@@jp3813 I wouldn’t mind if I had a time machine. I have caught some highlights though. Missed some crazy matches.
But I know what your saying.
@@historian3290 Closest thing to a time machine is the WWE Network. Every episode of every show is available there. Including WCW & ECW b/c the most significant thing you missed is the peak of the Monday Night Wars.
@@jp3813 Might need to subscribe
2000 the year the rock became the top guy in wwe and became one of the biggest and most popular stars in pop culture and also became the top 3 biggest draw in wrestling history along side hogan and Austin
I was 8 years old in 2000. WWF and wcw was my life lol. Royal rumble 2000 was shown on channel 4 for free, I stayed up to watch it as an 8 year old even tho I had school the next day. I still remember that day clearly. Life was sooo good ❤
1998,99 & 2000 were the WWE’s greatest peak years
All of which were in the Attitude Era during the turn of the millennium

@@markosbourne5967
Basically the same thing
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 yes same company but people need to get it right before saying the wrong company name
2001 aswell
"The game is first to win the main event of the WrestleMania"
Yokozuna: oh so I lost??
Tbf, Yokozuna didn't even keep the title for 5 minutes
I remember all of these storylines, thank you for the reminder and nostalgia!
I watched the entire Attitude Era over again back when it was on the Network and honestly the year 2000 wasn't as good as I remembered it. I wouldn't say it was at it's peak creatively either. The talent on the roster was at it's peak but the creative was definitely lacking. For starters, in 2000, they toned down the story and edginess in favor of matches. In 98 and 99 all the talent had their own individual storylines where in 2000 most of them had no real storyline to get behind. In 2000 the storylines focused mostly on the main event which left much of the mid card having to rely on the strength of their gimmicks to get or stay over(Godfather with his hoes, Dudley's with their tables, the Hardy Boyz Edge & Christian with their high flying stunts, Too Cool and Rikishi with their dancing). Those who didn't have a strong gimmicks got lost in the shuffle(Bob Holly, D Lo Brown, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Billy Gunn etc). Those whose gimmicks were too edgy(Val Venis, Godfather, Mr. Ass and most of Dx) also became casualties to the company having gone public and slowly getting rid of their offensive characters.
The Mcmahon/Helmsley storyline in 2000 started off strong but much like with the higher power storyline got ruined by adding to much Mcmahons. Then there's the fact that a lot of the main talents were grossly misused. Jericho didn't have any real memorable storyline that year. Taker comes back with a new gimmick and the creative have no real clue what to do with him outside of just having him feud with the Rock for the belt. His next feud was with Angle but the feud was about Angle spilling milk on Taker's bike. They had no idea what to do with Kane, Big Show, X-pac and Road Dogg after the Mcmahon/Helmsley story. Even Rock's booking was suspect. I mean the Rock was the biggest talent in the company in 2000 yet you have him in a main event where the main storyline isn't about him but about a love triangle between HHH, Stephanie and Angle. The only guys who really had spectacular booking were HHH, Foley and Angle. That's not even mention how they botched up the Austin return storyline by making Rikishi the driver. So I definitely wouldn't say the creative was at it's peak in 2000.
2000 was not WWE's best year. Was it good? Yes. But I do feel like people overrate it.
@@kevinlee9929 I use to be one of those people until I watched it again.
Yeah now that you say that 2000 is kinda overrated
@@blueblur2273 Overrated is an overused term. Some of the storylines were lame but overall the WWF was on fire in 2000. It's like the could do no wrong. Unlike 1998 and 1999 (until late in the year), the WWF in 2000 actually had a good midcard and tag team division.
You guys are idiots if you actually think 2000 is overrated
This series started with 1990 - The first Wrestlemania was in 1985, but to most the foundation of WWF was Wrestlemania 3 in 1987 - could you do 1987, 1988 & 1989
1980 to 1989
@@pantherhd1 1987 I was 12 and on my 2nd year of being a WWF fan. Arguably bigger than 2000, as EVERYONE wanted to hear if Hogan could actually beat Andre, even a radio station in Seattle announced it was Hogan who won (I was shocked to hear it myself!), and every episode of SNME throughout the year was must-see. 1998 was better than 2000 imo, 1999 was up there too, since us wrestling nerds were college age and everyone was watching WWF again.
@@smeagolbeagle2316 thank you for letting me know bout this your experience.I’m Born in 1988 but remember wrestling well in 1990 when was 2.That’s how wrestling helps with the mind.My favourite wrestling years are 1987 to 1994 in WWF.I was WCW/NWA fan to and WCW later om
I did the same bro, followed the Hulkamaniac era WCW more out of curiosity but still watched both. I have a vivid memory of like 1978 or so, turning the channel knob (antiquity lol) on my grandparents TV and coming across what I now know as a battle royal and it had Andre in it. That was it until my bf in 4th grade turned me on to WWF right after Mania 2. I stopped watching around 2006, but to this day read the news and did check out AEW for its first year. I still have no idea what that was I saw in 1978 (I had to have been 4 or so), prob Georgia Championship Wrestling, but we didnt have cable then, so...🤷♂️ Surprised I didnt get bit by the bug then!
I thought the same! 1985 or even 84 was so pivotal with the Hogan WWF...
The year 2000 in the World Wrestling Federation was a great and cool year for me after I made when I was ten years old. I love watching the WWF when I got home from school I watched SmackDown on Thursday nights on UPN and Raw Is War on Monday nights on the USA Network. I watched everything that the WWF Superstars are in them; the commercials, the Chef Boyardeee, the RC Royal Coda soda regular or diet, the Outback Steakhouse, TV shows ,movies, the WWF Shopzone, everything. Stone Cold Steve Austin The Rock Triple H The Undertaker Kane Kurt Angle Chris Jericho Mick Foley and Eddie Guerrero Edge and Christian The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz are the reason, the main reason I love watching pro wrestling including the WWF in late 1999 and 2000 that was very cool to watch and it brings back memories and nostalgia I remembered. And the World Wrestling Federation still beat WCW World Championship Wrestling in the TV ratings each and every week.
As someone who started watching WWE in 2003 as a 6 year old, it seems from watching these videos that Triple H was never really the face of the company, but always like the top antagonist or something. Like he fared better as a heel than as a face. Really cannot remember a time the guy was presented as the hero at the end of a PPV lol, but he's still a legend in my eyes!
You need to go on peacock and start from 1997
They pushed him as a top face in 2002 during his comeback from a major injury.
He definitely wasn’t believable as a baby face he’s the greatest heel in WWF history in my eyes.
@@moversrus4048 His best face run was when he became the leader of DX in the late 90s.
Oh indeed best Heel of all time when he was at his best
The year 2000 was a great time🕛 to be a wrestling fan. As the Attitude Era in WWE has set the wrestling world🤼🌎🌍🌏 on fire🔥 in that time🕛.
Ah, 2000! Here in the UK, I'd only seen a few WCW events on TV throughout 1998-99, but early in 2000 the first episode of Heat aired - and it immediately seemed a lot more like my cup of tea.
When the second or third episode of Heat then showed that epic Mankind/Cactus Jack promo for the Royal Rumble, I was hooked!
Channel 4 had the Royal Rumble live for the first time also. Great memories.
Ah 2000, where Triple H had a prototype of his reign of terror, permanently solidifying him as one of the best heels of his generation. With the Rock, Triple H, Taker, Kurt, and Austin all being legitimate main event contenders, 2001 had a lot of momentum going into it as any one of them could've been the torch bearer. Alas, 2001 had other plans for three of those five, and it marked the beginning of the end of of a legendary era.
He's easily the greatest heel of all-time. And I don't use the word "easily" lightly.
Also the same year they release 2 of the most popular wrestling games of all time... WWF Smackdown 2 on Playstation and No Mercy on N64
The buildup to the Triple H Vs. Cactus Jack match at the Royal Rumble was the first major sign how great the year was going to be.
Yes!!!!! I attended backlash 2000 live arena the rock won the belt my favorite year of the rock in the business because he worked full time that year every raw and smack down and every ppv and stone cold return was the icing on the cake
duuuuude! ive been yearning for someone to just summarize feuds and timelines so i know where to jump into! THANK YOOOOUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video. This covers literally everything.
This amazing to watch since I didn't start watching WWE until 2003
Man, it feels good reliving these memories. Thanks so much for making these videos!

Slight correction
Technically Yokozuna was the first heel to win
Despite the b.s. ending with hogan
He still did beat bret to win the title first
Love these, brings back great memories 🎉
2000 I was 13 and discovered wrestling at a friend's house. I was OBSESSED and the world had never been hotter for it
Triple H is truly one tough S.O.B. man. The guy tore his quad against Chris Jericho, kept wrestling regardless, and took a brutal Walls of Jericho on the announce table.
I know he get a lot of hate for 2002-2003 run, but he has been apart of a lot of great matches and moments hell he was the ultimate heel to Austin and rock, I dnt think no one could of been a better villain for them than HHH besides Vince McMahon
Wrong year though.
Tell it right.. The Atttude era truly dies Spring into Summer 2002.. 2001 is still the Attitude era. It's not the Ruthless Aggression era yet and the Invasion storyline was an angle within the Attitude era.

2001 was one of the worst years in wwe history thanks to the invasion storyline...
@@garynubipwek3178 Not only that the original WCW and ECW died, which left the WWF with no competition. The Rock was on his way out of wrestling to Hollywood, and Triple H got hurt and would be gone for the rest of the year.
@@jerelmintertrue... it sucks how almost all of wcws top stars were still under contract and getting paid by turner/time warner and didnt bother re signing, only to sign with wwe one at a time when their contracts expired after. So much potential with the invasion story where it could have been the best year for wrestling fans but instead it turned into yet another mcmahon family bullshit storyline
@@garynubipwek3178 That storyline was botched, but there are way too many bad years in WWE history for 2001 to be one of the worst. Especially since the first few months of that year leading up to the Royal Rumble, No Way Out, & WrestleMania is widely considered to be the company's absolute creative peak.
@@jerelminter It was harder to watch WCW & ECW dying in 2000. Austin, Taker, & Foley were also largely absent from in-ring action that year.
December 20th 1999 (Raw is War) was the first wrestling show I watched and man what a time to start watching!!!!
That was the best year of the attitude era for me!
Andy is the 🐐!!!

Same here
This is the year WWF 2 Smackdown came out so this roster is very familiar to me since I’ve played that game for hundreds of hours.
I started watching the wwe in 2000.
What about unmissable year it was in terms of in-ring work, character development, promos, storytelling, PPVs, Raw & Smackdown.
Everything was simply immaculate.

WWF & WCW Action figures, WWF School folders. WCW couldn’t compete . The smartest thing WWF DID was flood the stores with everything WWF while WCW failed to capitalize . I don’t remember going to a store & seeing any WCW merch besides action figures.
Great era

Lita and Stephanie were not the first women's raw main event Actually, Alundra Blayze VS Bertha Faye main evented Raw on October 23, 1995.
My all time favorite year of wwe. I went to a raw in June. Many just wild times. The one blemish obviously was Wrestlemania which is so weird considering how good the ppvs were that year
The way HHH wold that Cactus Jack reveal was amazing
playlist skips 1999 / was it copyright? jams up the flow. great videos
I’ve been watching wrestling in 2000 was my favorite year when I was 7
as much as he was a great performer it should not be forgotten how well the rock puts over other talent. in this year he made big show look like the monster he is !! also later against kurt angle, rock changed the finish in the title match for kurt to win clean with his angle slam
