You knew Angle wasn't losing the title this close to the pay-per-view. At the same time Angle once again needed a run-in to bail him out instead of looking strong with a clean win.

WWF Armageddon 2000 - Intergender Elimination: The Hardy Boyz & Lita vs. The Radicalz (w/Terri)

This came about because Malenko won a date with Lita, which led to Lita drawing Dean back to the hotel where the Hardyz were waiting to jump Malenko. Terri is not on the Radicalz team, it's just three guys against two guy and one girls. Enjoyable opener but they tried too hard to cram all that action into eight minutes. Plus Malenko carried Lita to a decent showing for the last two minutes. *3/4 fuckit call it **

Regal pre-match promo was better than this match.

WWF Armageddon 2000 - Last Man Standing: Chris Jericho vs. Kane

Man Jericho/KANE matches are awful which is strange cause during TV they usually have good interactions in Tag or 4 ways and they had plenty of them during '00, but when it came down to PPV and over 8 minutes they were slacking that spark. This was dull and had none of the intensity that the Triple H match at Fully Loaded. Not the mention a pretty cheesy ending. But at least this feud is finally done with. Part of me is wondering if they didn't go all out cause of the HIAC match. **

WWF Armageddon 2000 - Intercontinental Title: "The One" Billy Gunn vs. Chris Benoit

Benoit totally dismantled Gunn in there, which made the match a lot more fun than your average squash. It was like 10 minutes of a Benoit exhibition match and Benoit matches are always fun. This was just here to give the title to Benoit and move him to that feud with Jericho (DAT LADDER MATCH IS COMING) **1/2 would bump it higher if Billy would of sold the knee work.

WWF Armageddon 2000 - WWF Heavyweight Title, Hell in a Cell: Kurt Angle vs. The Rock vs. Steve Austin vs. Triple H vs. Rikishi vs. The Undertaker

Not quite the epic they were hoping it would be but lets be honest this really only had 2 weeks of build. Taker debuted the "Limp Bizkit's Rollin'" theme. I have never been a fan of this match for me i found it too clustered, There was too many people fighting to properly follow one fight and there was too many other distractions (Foley/Vince, some people fighting on the cell while others are *Somewhere else*, ect. Don't get me wrong i enjoyed the chaotic stuff going on but it really lacked any real story telling and was mostly just brawling. I just realized this was a perfect example of the attitude era just a giant overbooked mess. ***1/2

WWF Raw Is War 12/11/2000 - Tables Match: The Rock & The Dudley Boyz vs. Kurt Angle, Edge & Christian

So yes, the long opening talking segment was used to set up the first hour main event. Christian pounds on D’Von Dudley to start and goes for a whip but D’Von reverses and hits a hiptoss then follows up with an armdrag and a clothesline. Bubba Ray tags in and elbows Christian in the head then hits an elbowdrop. Edge tags in but runs right into a powerslam and Bubba whips him and hits a backdrop. Rock tags in and tees off on Edge then whips him and hits a Samoan drop … then covers for a two count? I though table matches aren’t supposed to have pinfall covers. Rock rams Edge into D’Von’s boot then tags him in to take over on Edge. D’Von goes for a whip but Edge reverses and Christian kicks him in the back. Edge lays the boots to D’Von then tags Angle in and Angle stomps D’Von down in a corner. Angle whips D’Von and hits an elbow then covers him but Earl Hebner reminds him there’s no pinfalls in table matches. I’m glad we got that clarified. Christian tags in and D’Von starts to fight back but Christian rakes the face. Christian whips D’Von and hits a Russian legsweep then applies a chinlock. D’Von fights out of the hold and comes off the ropes but runs into a knee. Edge tags in and sets D’Von on the top rope then goes up but D’Von shoves him off then connects with a flying shouldertackle. Both men start crawling to their corners and D’Von tags in Bubba but Christian distracts Hebner from seeing it and Hebner orders Bubba back to the corner while E&C work D’Von over. This type of match shouldn't even need tags to begin with like I keep saying. Edge hammers D’Von and whips him into a corner and charges, D’Von sidesteps him and Edge hops onto the middle rope but D’Von hits a neckbreaker and both men are down. D’Von tries to crawl to his corner and Edge tries to stop him but D’Von manages to tag in Rock. Angle tags in but Rock unloads on him and whips him, hitting an overhead belly-to-belly throw. Christian comes in but runs into a DDT and Rock pops Edge off the ropes as well. Rock plants Angle with a spinebuster and goes for the People’s Elbow but Edge pulls Rock out to the floor. Edge rams Rock into the announce table while Bubba slams Christian in the ring. Bubba sets Christian up while D’Von goes up and hits the “Wassup” headbutt. Bubba sends D’Von out for the table while he goes out and nails Edge on the floor. D’Von slides a table in the ring and sets it up while Bubba does the same with another table. Bubba sets Christian on his shoulders while D’Von climbs to the top rope and goes for the Dudleyville Device but Angle pulls the table out of the way. Edge pulls D’Von out of the ring and throws him into the barricade. Bubba tires to suplex Angle through a table when Angle floats over into a waistlock and goes to suplex Bubba through the table but Rock moves it out of the way. Rock clotheslines Angle and tries to Rock Bottom him through a table but Edge breaks it up. Angle rolls out to the floor but Rock grabs Edge and hits a Rock Bottom through the table for the win. D’Von passes Christian to Bubba on the top rope and Bubba superbombs him through the other table for good measure while Angle grabs his belt and walks off. *** Pretty fun match for the most part and should have been the main event.I still find the notion of enforcing legal man rules in a match like this to be completely asinine and devoid of any logic. That being said, they did it well, and the hot tag and finishing run of teased table spots ruled.

WWF Smackdown 12/14/2000 - Hardcore Match: The Undertaker vs. Raven

Three months into his WWF run and Raven finally gets a shot at a main event guy. Raven comes out first and gets on the mic bragging about what he did to Al Snow on Raw then tells Taker he’s like a trapped animal, most deadly when he’s cornered. Taker rides out to the ring on his motorbike and climbs in the ring as Raven readies a trash can lid. Raven takes a swing but Taker catches him with a boot the takes the lid and whacks him. Taker whips Raven into a corner and hits a clothesline then nails him with a trash can as we get a quick shot of Mick Foley and Debra watching the match form backstage. Raven rolls out to the floor and pulls out a tool box then grabs a wrench and nails Taker in the chest and in the back with it. Raven shoves Taker into a ringpost and takes another swing with the wrench but misses. Taker rams Raven into the ringsteps and into the apron then grabs him in a bear-hug and rams him into the ringpost. Taker throws Raven across the timekeeper’s table then grabs the steps and knocks Raven in the head, busting him open. Taker starts clearing off the announce table as we again see Foley and Debra enjoying this then grabs a chair and whacks him in the head with it. Taker then powerbombs Raven through the announce table with the Last Ride and the three is academic. Raven is left twitching in the table wreckage as Taker rides off after burying another talented jobber.

Regal rolls out to the floor but Rock pops him then throws him back in and Austin hits Regal with a second Stunner to get the three. *** Good 9 minute tag. Austin doing a good amount of wrestling hold for TV is AWESOME, the other guys were great too.

Post Match: In the back, Vince gets a phone call from Shane, and he finds out Linda is in the hospital. He hunches over the sink breathing heavily, and he slowly brings his head up looking at the mirror with a legit horrifyingly evil smile on his face, like he's fucking possessed by Satan and shit. Vince McMahon is the best.

Good Stuff!
