Mike Adamle's review of the 2000's decade of WWE

Post by Mike Adamle »

I figured since I keep getting the 508 error message which hinders me from updating the ROH list I'd start something else I'd been wanting to do for a while. That doesn't mean I will be stopping with the ROH list, I just might have to move it to the blogger website if the 508 error doesn't get fixed soon.

Anyways. I'm gonna do this one a little differently. I will try and actually review matches. I will continue to rank them and rate them in my way. And continue ranking the wrestlers as well. I might do a win-loss record deal too just to see how that goes. As to not load the board with comments from me I will try to limit a month of reviews to one comment but we will see how that will work, might have to be one week instead. We will see.

1/1/00 WWF Metal/Jakked

Anyways. The new millennium starts off with a classic episode of Jakked or Metal, whichever you got in your area.

And WWF starts the new year off with a BANG! with the attitude era graffic. The Metal theme certainly does get everyone PUMPED UP for some action.

After that Kaientai come down to the ring waving the Japanese flag as Kevin Kelly and Tom Prichard do their best Jim Nantz and Billy "Fudge" Packer impressions by sitting awkwardly close together, and Kelly honestly has his arm around Prichard. They hype up the previous Raw. Kaientai's opponents, one of the greatest tag teams of all time, The Brooklyn Brawler and Mideon make their way to the ring. Kevin Kelly reminds everyone that they know it's a special broadcast when The Brooklyn Brawler is in town.

Match 1- Tag Team Match- Kaientai (Funaki & Taka Michinoku) vs. The Brooklyn Brawler & Mideon

Taka & Mideon start it off. Taka tries to get the crowd behind him, but they're dead. Mideon takes the advantage with a very weak thigh to the gut. Two punches to the head, and Mideon has Taka beaten down enough to go for the power bomb. NO! Taka reverses with a huracanrana and lands some dropkicks to build some steam against the big man. Mideon slides out of the ring as Taka does a backflip, prays, and tags out to Funaki. Mideon Tags the Brawler. Funaki and the Brawler go back and forth before The Brawler gets the advantage and tags in Mideon. Mideon lays it on Funaki with punches. Then a textbook backbreaker. Mideon and Brawler tag in and out and dominate Funaki. But Funaki surprises Mideon with a Sunset Flip, but The Brooklyn Brawler has the refs attention that dastardly son of a bitch. Funaki looks like he's about to build up some steam, but gets clotheslined out of his boots. Mideon has Funaki laid out, but misses a flying nothing, allowing Funaki to get the tag. Mideon tags as well. Taka comes in like a house of fire and gets dominated by The Brooklyn Brawler, The Brawler hits a bodyslam and it looks to be a three but Funaki makes the save!!! All 4 men are in the ring now! Both sides Irish whip, Taka hits Funaki! Mideon holds up Taka, but he moves and The Brawler accidentally hits Mideon and knocks him outta the ring!!!. Funaki hits a plancha!!! Taka hits the Michinoku Driver on The Brawler!!! 1-2-3!!!

Your Winners: Kaientai (Funaki & Taka Michinoku)
By: Taka Michinoku pinning The Brooklyn Brawler after Michinoku Driver.

Okay so I'm not gonna review them all like that but I will do everything else the way I'm doing it. The review takes my focus away from the match too much for me to actually rate it, which is what is really important, but if something needs to be highlighted I will absolutely do that.

Kevin Kelly tells us we're gonna be treated to the 1999 match of the year, The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) vs. Christian & Edge in the first ever Tag Team Ladder Match from No Mercy. Tom Prichard tells us Hardcore Holly will be in action tonight against Prince Albert. And the story of the start of the McMahon-Helmsley era.

But first the first Metallenium moment which is Chris Jericho's debut.

The next Metallenium moment is the reveal of the higher power... "IT'S ME AUSTIN, IT WAS ME ALL ALONG AUSTIN!!!"

Next up: the Metallenium Story of the Year: The McMahon-Helmsley rise to power. Holy shit what a video package.

Next Metallenium Moment: Chyna vs. Jeff Jarrett for the WWF Intercontinental Title in a Good Housekeeping Match. Chyna becomes the first female Intercontinental champion.

Metallenium Superstar of the Year: The Rock. Pretty funny promo follows.

Kevin Kelly reminds us about the ladder match later and Tom Prichard reminds us about the match between Hardcore Holly and Prince Albert.

Match 2/Main Event- Hardcore Holly w/ Crash Holly vs. Prince Albert

Hardcore Holly cuts a hilarious promo about how light Albert is and how he has wall to wall carpeting. He warns him he's about to step into a world with a super heavyweight and calls him chewbaca.

Winner: Prince Albert
By: DQ After Crash Holly interfered when Albert had it won.
Time: 3:28
Rating: *1/2

During the match Tom Prichard says it's wonderful that Mae Young is doing innovative moves like Bronco Busters and it's great the WWF has her around to teach the guys. Kevin Kelly says it's a wonder she can even walk. Then says Holly and Albert are bludgeoning each other.
