WWE Wrestling News, Rumors, Results & Spoilers . As the first Wrestlemania of the 2. WWF returned to the site of the spectacle four years earlier in Anaheim. This would be the last Wrestlemania to go for the standard PPV three hours, as in future years the event would go for four, which to be marks the point where Mania really became the special event we know today. Anyway, the main event tonight is a fatal four way for the WWF Championship, with a Mc. Mahon in the corner of each competitor. Facing off are Triple H, The Rock, Big Show, and the returning (for one night only) Mick Foley. As always, share your thoughts with me on Twitter at @Mpmcc.

We kick the show off in the arena with Lillian Garcia singing America the Beautiful before we go to a video package which looks at the history of Wrestlemania before focusing on our main event tonight. We then head back into the arena where our usual announce team of Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler get this one under way. The Godfather & D'Lo Brown w/Ice T vs Big Bossman & Bull Buchanan There wasn't a whole lot of build to our opener as its really just to get these guys on the show. Bossman has picked up a new partner after going he and Albert (who we shall see later) went their separate ways following No Way Out. That new partner is Bull Buchanan, who is the former Recon of Truth Commission. D'Lo & Godfather are of course the fun loving faces and they come out with the hoes as well as Ice T rapping them to the ring. Anyway, the faces start out in control to the delight of the crowd. Bull Buchanan eventually turns the tide for his team as he takes the fight to D'Lo. Find great deals on eBay for wwf wrestlemania 2. WWF WRESTLEMANIA 2000 DVD SPECIAL 2 DISC SET. WWF WrestleMania XVI - April 2 2000 New Wrestling Pin. The heels double team D'Lo until he manages to get the hot tag to the Godfather. He delivers the Ho Train to Bossman, whilst D'Lo looks to come off the top. Bull knocks D'Lo off the ropes though, allowing Bossman to respond with a sidewalk slam. Buchanan follows with a top rope leg drop and covers Brown to pick up the win at 9: 0. A pretty basic match to get the show going. I get the idea was the showcase Buchanan here, but I probably would have given this one to D'Lo & Godfather if it was opening the show. The Bossman/Buchanan duo would not have great success in the loaded tag division. Grade: *1/2 We now see Triple H and Stephanie Mc. Mahon- Helmsley relaxing backstage with their respective championships. Stephanie had won the WWF Women's Championship from Jacqueline about a week before this show, whilst Triple H was of course the WWF Champion. JR says they look awfully relaxed considering Triple H has a 7. King suggests the power couple have a plan. WWF Hardcore Championship - 1. Minute Hardcore Battle Royal: Our first title match of the evening is for the WWF Hardcore Championship. When we last saw this title on PPV it was around the waist of Test, however he was defeated by Crash Holly on a February episode of Smackdown. Crash would become the focal point of the division as the Houdini of Hardcore, courtesy of the 2. The rule stated that the title was up for grabs every hour of the day so long as you brought an official to count your pin on the champion. This led to a series of memorable skits and numerous title changes down the line. The first of these was Pete Gas pinning the champ on a recent episode of Raw is War, but Crash quickly regained his title the same night and entered as champion here. The rules of this match state that the title is up for grabs for a fifteen minute time period, with the man holding the belt at the end of that time being recognised as the champ with the 2. Now the participants in this one are Crash Holly (the reigning champion), Hardcore Holly, Tazz, Viscera, Bradshaw, Faarooq, Taka Michinoku, Funaki, Mosh, Thrasher, Joey Abs, Pete Gas and Rodney. Yeah, I'm not even attempting to do play by play on this. Tazz pins Crash seconds in and from there we get a whole bunch of title changes over the course of the match. As far as the action goes, it spills around ringside and into the back as Hardcore rules allow. Of course there are plenty of weapons involved. With mere seconds to go, Crash nails Tazz (who had regained the title after numerous swaps came about) with a cookie sheet and pins him to gain the title. He has to survive for about 2. Tazz gets back up and locks the champion in the Tazzmission, but before he can tap, Hardcore Holly grabs a glass jar from the announce table and smashes it over Crash's skull.

WrestleMania 2000 (chronologically known as WrestleMania XVI) was the sixteenth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view produced by the World. He covers and is announced the winner at 1. The announcers talk about the controversy which makes me think it was supposed to happen this way to lead to more issues between the Holly Cousins. Anyway, Hardcore Holly is your new Hardcore Champion after a typically fun Attitude era style Hardcore brawl. Grade: ** We now get a brief video showing highlights from Fan Axxess, the WWE fan festival that has become a Wrestlemania tradition. I'll be there in a few weeks and I cannot wait! Anyway, back in the locker room Al Snow & Steve Blackman are talking about their upcoming match. They are the odd couple named Head Cheese, with Snow being the goofy one whilst Blackman is all serious without a personality. ECW Hardcore TV 1/9/2000. NWA-TNA Best Damn Sports Show Special Night 1 11/10/2004. WWF WrestleMania XVI 4/2/2000.Snow says he has a surprise for Blackman tonight. We then see T& A being led to the ring area by the beautiful Trish Stratus. Head Cheese w/Chester Mc. Cheeserton vs T& A w/Trish Stratus Another really weird match for Wrestlemania here as two new teams go at it without any real feud going in for the most part. Snow's surprise for Blackman is a midget dressed up in a cheese outfit named Chester Mc. Cheeserton. On the heel side we have the newly formed duo of Test & Albert, going by the name of T& A. Test hadn't been doing a whole lot since losing the Hardcore title, so he abruptly turned heel and the duo were taken on by the debuting Trish Stratus as their manager. She's as beautiful as ever and she would of course go on to become arguably the greatest female performer of all time. That's a while off though, as this is all about the two teams in the ring, and to be honest, the match is pretty bad, with JR busting out the . T& A start out in control as they double team Snow. He eventually tags in Blackman to no reaction whatsoever. We get some back and forth until the faces take over and work over Albert. After a whole lot of uneventful action, Albert takes out Snow with the Baldo Bomb, whilst Test follows off the top with an elbow drop on Blackman whom he covers to pick up the win for his team at 7: 0. Trish is impressed, but this was really basic stuff. The right team won though as T& A would serve as a decent team over the course of the year. After the match, Snow apologises to Blackman and says its time to cut the cheese. They beat up the midget because they're such good babyfaces and all. Grade: * Back in the dressing room we see the Kat and Mae Young. Kat is preparing for her cat fight later on and is naked save for objects blocking the view, a gag taken from Austin Powers. Elsewhere Michael Cole is standing by with the Dudley Boyz. They are the reigning tag team champions and promise lots of violence in the upcoming triangle ladder match. Oh yes! WWF Tag Team Championship - Ladder Match: Dudley Boyz (c) vs Hardy Boyz vs Edge & Christian The Dudley Boyz defeated the New Age Outlaws last month to win the tag titles and since then have been on an absolute tear throughout the WWF, constantly driving their opponents through tables. Most memorably, they even powerbombed Mae Young off the stage on Raw is War through a stack of tables below. Meanwhile, Edge & Christian and the Hardy Boyz faced off in a number one contender match last month that had a very controversial outcome following Terri turning on her former team. Edge & Christian distanced themselves from Terri's actions so are basically tweeners here, whilst the Hardyz are the clear cut fan favourites. With both teams having a claim to the tag title hunt, a triple threat ladder match was signed here and the rest was history. This was the match that revolutionised the ladder match leading to many multi- person matches of the kind in the future. The tag titles are suspended high above the ring so the Dudleys come out without their belts. Meanwhile the announcers talk about this match being the Wrestlemania debut of all six men involved. Boy are they going to enter with a bang as well. Simply put, the match is an epic spotfest. All six men are fighting on the floor in seconds and going for ladders. I'm not going to do much play by play here - its one of those matches you have to watch rather than read about as these match types tend to be. A memorable spot sees Christian hit a diving cross body off the top of the ladder inside the ring onto Bubba and Matt on the outside, drawing a Holy Shit chant from the crowd. Moments later, Edge spears Jeff as the Hardy attempts to climb the ladder to the titles. Eventually we get three ladders set up in the ring so all six men attempt to climb up and fight amongst one another atop of them. Jeff and Christian take the biggest bump of the six men as their ladder is knocked and they go all the way to the floor. Ouch that had to hurt! The action breaks back down again as the Dudleys deliver a 3. D to Edge and answer the crowds chants of We Want Tables. They do indeed get the tables and set one up atop of two ladders in the centre of the ring. The Hardys come back and take the fight to the champions, and Bubba powerbombs Matt straight through a table on the outside. D- Von also goes through a table when Jeff moves out of the way of a dive, but Bubba takes the other Hardy out by throwing a ladder in his face when he attempts to run the barricade towards him. At this point, Bubba gets an even bigger ladder out from under the ring and sets it up in the aisle. Meanwhile Christian recovers and whacks Bubba with the ring bell, which allows Jeff to put the Dudley upon a table, ascend the massive ladder and deliver an incredible swanton bomb and taking himself out in the process!
