All these years later I still can’t understand why The Rock dropped the title back to HHH at Judgment Day 2000.
First of all - Rock vs. HHH should have been the main event at Mania and not that stupid four way match with Rock going over clean. Secondly, Rock never should have dropped the title back it never made sense.
P.S. Morley is genuinely garbage mid card
Hey we got one of the greatest returns ever at Judgment Day though
WWF liked doing that ‘championship changing hands’ around that period. Stone Cold did it with Kane and Undertaker. Rock did it with Mick Foley, HHH with Vince McMahon. Even when Rock dropped to Kurt Angle he won it back (Even if it took a long time). It’s just how they booked it.
Wrestlemania 2000 was messy though, that clearly wasn’t the original plan. I don’t hate it too much however given it culminated in Backlash 2000 one of my favourites ever.
WWF were very lucky Rock could eat a lot of losses (although he didn’t lose clean, that’s not mentioned enough) though while giving HHH every win he needed.
This must be the creative freedom Moxley thought he was lacking in WWE.
He’s a hack.
He’s a mark for himself just like most in AEW
Backlash 2000 should have been the WM main event
“Spinebuster! Oh my gosh!, JR there’s no Shane, there’s no Vince and here comes…the People’s Elbow!”
Aside from the fact it wasn’t at Mania, that match was perfection.
I actually didn’t see it for years after it happened, in fact I was oblivious to it. I didn’t have Sky at the time, and I saw Mania and I saw Triple H drop the title to Rock at King of the Ring (well technically Vince dropped it), for ages I never knew Rock had had a reign in the middle of that.
I rewatch it regularly. It’s one of my favourite main events ever
HHH vs. Rock @ Backlash 2000
Austin vs. Rock @ Mania X7
Austin vs. Dude Love @ Over The Edge 98
They were main event perfection in my eyes in that period between 98-01. The 3 best main events WWE put together in that time.
6 man hell in a cell?
That was Armageddon. And a Cell match that I often think was a bit overrated and overbooked.
I swear I saw the kiss yesterday and was gonna post this here too. Moxley is a decent dude and he’s pretty popular but some of the shit he’s done and claimed ever since leaving WWE has left me disappointed.
His wacky comedy stuff wasn’t as bad as he thought. But yeah, kissing dudes and smoking during his indy matches is much better. 
Also, great to see him worshipping that bank robber. 
I honestly hope Punk does his thing and goes full Cornette on him:
I reckon there’s a decent chance we see Punk back in WWE once he gets the indy return thing out of his system.
You mean Mox?
Doubt it, this is his schtick.
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
Nah. Especially not while Hunter is in charge
I think Hunter and he are far more likely to put personal stuff to one side than he ever was with Vince.
There’s a lot of money to be made and I think that’s going to be too much of a temptation in the end. It nearly happened before he went to the indy, and they just didn’t agree money. Also Fox love Punk and were quite annoyed WWE didn’t do the deal.
And I have enjoyed Punk wrestling again, and definitely thought going back outside WWE was good for him, but I’m ready to see him do it properly now.
No. I wouldn’t want to see Ambrose back. I think he was always less than Rollins and Reigns and he definitely still is. If he came back to WWE he’d have to be a main eventer and I think there are better uses for that spot.
I don’t see Punk wrestling beyond 2024. And I doubt Tony hasn’t signed him on a long term deal.
Punk certainly seems pleased with the choice he made. He has total freedom to do whatever he wants. His shit is working. The owner loves him, he seems to hit it off with a couple of dudes in the back as well.
I reckon the MJF story might be his swan song. Perhaps be sticks around for a few short programmes trying to give the rub to some others as well before hanging the boots.
I selfishly do want him to stick around in the wrestling world though as he does have a wrestling mind. Not sure he wants that pressure though.
2002 there was the championship changing hands at almost literally every PPV lol.
To think we started that year with Jericho and ended it with the Big Show. Jeez
