Wanna know why the year 2000 was so damn good for WWE? Look no further than the depth of their roster. Before the dawn of the new millennium, none of the following men had ever worked a WrestleMania: Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Edge, Christian, The Hardy Boyz, and The Dudley Boyz. With the exception of D-Von Dudley, all were future World Champions in the business.

At the time of WrestleMania 15 a year earlier, Edge and Christian were midcard lackeys of Undertaker's Ministry, while The Hardyz were undercarders in plaid headbands and matching bell-bottoms. The Dudleyz were still terrorizing ECW. Benoit and Jericho were each looking for the first chance to escape from their Atlanta prison. Angle was just learning how to work.

Good thing these nine guys showed up, because WrestleMania 2000 wouldn't have had any great matches without them.
