25 Hidden Gem PPVs To Watch On WWE Network

10. Fully Loaded 2000

Full Loaded was promoted as having three main event matches. In the night's first marquee match, Kurt Angle attempted to halt the momentum of the Undertaker, who returned to WWE as the American Bada** just two months earlier and had left everyone from Triple H to Vince McMahon lying in his wake. The Olympic gold medalist had made the mistake of crossing the Phenom and found himself worse for wear by the time his bout the the Deadman had reached its conclusion. Chris Jericho bled buckets and endured a tremendous beating at the hands of Triple H in a Last Man Standing match, the product of Y2J's constant insults of The Game's wife Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. Still, he fought through it all and came within a whisker of defeating the Cerebral Assassin but ultimately fell just short. And then there was Chris Benoit, who appeared to have knocked off The Rock for the WWE Championship, but saw the decision reversed by commissioner Mick Foley, who ordered the main event of the show restarted. From there, the Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment righted the wrong, defeating Benoit and retaining his title. Further downown the card, the Hardy Boyz and Lita battled T&A and Trish Stratus in a phenomenal opening match while Rikishi took a leap of faith off the top of a steel cage in an attempt to regain his intercontinental championship from Val Venis.
