10 Stacked WWE Cards Which Failed To Deliver

Not everything about the Attitude Era was great, you know?

Unforgiven 2000 is a glaring example of just how anti-climactic a WWF PPV still had the ability to be even in the height of the company's critical success.

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's first live appearance since getting run over at Survivor Series dragged all of the attention away from every other match on the card, as fans were eager to find out who had attacked the 'Texas Rattlesnake' nine months earlier.

In true WWE bait and switch fashion, after Austin had spent the majority of the night questioning people and searching for his attacker we didn't actually find out who was the culprit on this night.

Also, we didn't get a satisfying enough payoff for the Triple H/Kurt Angle/Stephanie McMahon love triangle in 'The Game' and Angle's No DQ match. McMahon low blowed Angle so that Trips could steal the victory and normal service was resumed. How original.

To top it all off, the main event of WWF Champion The Rock defending his belt vs. The Undertaker vs. Chris Benoit vs. Kane was also quite disappointing and hampered by the decision to book Benoit to win the gold unjustly, only to have the match restarted by Commissioner Mick Foley.

Rock successfully defended the gold at the second time of asking, but between this, 'Stone Cold's limp return and the Triple H/Angle blow-off there wasn't much to get excited about and what could have been an awesome night - crammed full of illustrious names - turned into a frustrating slog.
