The start of 2000 had seen a string of great action in the WWF (or as it's now the WWE), following on from No Way Out and Royal Rumble 2000 was the show case event of the year Wrestlemania 2000. With the absence through injury of Stone Cold Steve Austin the company had started to build it's self through the heel (bad guy) faction of the McMahon-Helmsley faction lead by HHH and Stephanie McMahon. And this was the main story going into the event though of course not the only one. There was the fall out of the Royal Rumble which had run as almost equal in the storyline stakes, whilst the 3 way tag team feud between Edge and Christian, The Hardy Boys and The Dudley Boys had escalated further. Whilst Kurt Angle had been winning the lower tier titles for fun holding both the European and the Inter Continental titles and the Chris' (Benoit and Jericho) had been trying to grapple them from him.

The opening match was a tag team match which saw The Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan against The Godfather and D'Lo Brown with Ice T singing the Godfathers theme tune on the way. On the whole it must be admitted this was a rather poor start to the show and although it's perhaps harsh to criticise it really didn't do anything worth noting other than last about 5 minutes too long and achieve little.

The third match saw Al Snow and Steve Blackman face Test and Albert (or as they were called “T & A”). One of a few match on the night that seemed more filler than anything, thankfully this was relatively short and painless. The light entertainment of the short lived “Headcheese” idea was funny for a few minutes but thankfully didn't extent beyond the show as it was silly enough for some WWF fans to find a way to like it (see the fact they like John Cena for excuse they will eat into anything).

The fight that followed it was The Kat v Terri Runnels in a pointless Catfight that lasted around 2 and a half minutes...sadly it was 2 and a half minutes too long serving no purpose and was pretty much filler.

The 7th match was a 2 fall match with the European and Intercontinental titles (both held by Kurt Angle) both on the line in a triple threat match with Chris Jericho (the man who Angle had beaten for the Intercontinental title) and Chris Benoit. The first fall of the match decided who would hold the intercontinental title whilst the matches second fall would decide the European champion. For fans of the technical stuff and the suplexes this was the match on the card for you, with a trio of great wrestlers who could do pretty much every hold in the book. The fight had tension, the unique aspect of the 2 falls rule and it being a triple threat. One of the best matches on the card with the ladder match and the main event.

The main event followed on from much of the work of the previous few months, with Triple H having “retired” Cactus Jack at No Way Out in their brilliant Hell In A Cell match Mick foley returned to live out a “dream”. Whilst Royal Rumble winner The Rock was given his chance his the controversy surrounding his win there about 2 months earlier had lead to the Big Show campaigning for his own chance. This lead to a 4 way match elimination match for the WWF title and too add to everything else each fighter had a McMahon in their corner.
HHH had his wife Stephanie in his corner and the world title around his waist leading into the fight, Shane had taken sides with the Big Show, WWF owner Vince was behind The Rock and Linda was with Mick Foley. Of course they were to have an effect on the fights out come as most wrestling fans would expect, but yet the match has the surprises and the action to keep us, the fans engaged.
