WWE 2000 PPVs From Worst To Best

The company's best ever year on PPV?

A lot of Attitude Era fans tend to look back at that time through rose-tinted glasses. Yes, it gave us some great angles and storylines and plentiful helpings of shock TV, but there was a lot of dross, too. The wrestling was nowhere near the standard that it would be in coming years and PPVs were used to set-up the next episode of Raw (and not vice-versa). That would change in 2000. A lot of it was down to writer Vince Russo leaving the company for WCW. His position was taken over by Chris Kreski, former writer of The Daily Show, who would greatly improve the quality of the shows writing. Kreski was the brains behind a lot of the best storylines and feuds from the era. He had a lot of great talent to work with, of course. The Rock and Triple H were on top of their game, Mick Foley was the perfect choice as General Manager and the influx of The Radicalz helped add to an already stacked midcard. Tag wrestling got a facelift thanks to the TLC warriors and even guys like Rikishi, who had been directionless for years, were made into stars. Everyone was over, the in-ring action was great and the storylines were improved. Overall, it was a phenomenal year for the company, a true purple patch, and possibly the best in the WWE's history when it came to PPV.
