WWE were on a serious roll in 2000. The inconsistent Vince Russo was out of the picture, WCW were getting weaker as the weeks and months went by, The Rock, Triple H and others were coming into their own as main event stars and the midcard was as exciting as it had ever been. Everything was clicking and it seemed as though the product offered the best of both worlds: you still had the outlandish, OTT characters and storylines from the Attitude Era, but mixed in with that was some damn fine wrestling courtesy of the likes of The Radicalz, Chris Jericho, The Hardy Boys, Edge & Christian, Kurt Angle and so on. Looking back, it's really no surprise that the company were doing such good business, with critically well-received shows doing huge ratings and PPVs doing very healthy buyrates. You'd think that, given the momentum the company had at the time, that WrestleMania 2000 would have been one of the best WWE shows ever. But you'd be wrong. Rather than being a scorching supercard full of classic moments and five star matches, it was instead a major disappointment. WWE booked some really sketchy bouts for the show, had way too many multi-person matches (there was only one singles match on the show and that was a minute-long affair between The Kat and Terri) and capped it off with one of the most anticlimactic finishes of any WrestleMania event. So, because I'm so smart due to the fact I write about wrestling on the internet (please detect the irony, dear reader), I'm going to rebook this show and present a version that I think would have been superior, using only talent that appeared on the card and excluding talent that were out with an injury.
