10 Things You Learn Binge Watching Every WWE SmackDown From 2000

10. Stephanie's Title Reign Was Worth It

Kicking this one off with in-ring royalty, folks.

OK, all jokes aside, Stephanie McMahon meant a lot to the product back in 2000. She was Triple H's new love interest, and her family ties to the boss meant Steph was tasked with playing the "Billion Dollar Princess" who wanted for nothing by default. This just in: She was bloody ace at it.

This is a positive 'Steph as champ' entry, one that makes no apologies for it. McMahon won the Women's Title from Jacqueline on the 30 March SmackDown, and held it for approx five months before dropping the thing to Lita on the 21 August Raw. Fans hated this at the time, but it's so much fun looking back.

Women's wrestling was hardly an ongoing concern for the WWF in 2000, so Stephanie proudly flaunting her nepotistic title reign stood out. If nothing else, her heavy presence on programming meant the belt was on TV more often than not. Better than nothing during a flat era for the strap, no?
