WWF Smackdown 12/21/2000 - WWF Hardcore Title: Steve Blackman vs. Raven

Raven has a garbage can of plunder with him which he dumps in the ring then grabs a kendo stick and trash lid. Blackman responds by pulling out his own kendo stick from under the ring and we apparently have a standoff. Blackman takes the first swing and Raven blocks it with the lid then moves in but Blackman gets in the first shots. Blackman grabs the lid and whips Raven then bashes his knee with the lid and nails him in the back of the head. Raven comes back with a lid shot then pulls him out to the floor and hits a Russian legsweep into the barrier. Raven goes for a crossbody but Blackman ducks it and Raven sails over the barricade, taking out a few fans. Blackman goes after Raven in the crowd and grabs someone he thinks is Raven but is just a fan in a black shirt while Raven waffles him with a popcorn tray. Raven tosses Blackman back in the ring and grabs a pair of trash lids but Blackman hits an armdrag then hits Raven with the lid. Blackman covers but Raven nails Blackman with his own lid then grabs a kendo stick and works Blackman over with it. Raven grabs a trash can but Blackam trips him into it then goes out and slides another can in the ring. Blackman grabs his fighting sticks and hammers away on Raven then follows it up with the stick-assisted suplex .. but only gets a two count. Raven hits a shot below the belt then grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays Blackman’s face with some CO2. Raven climbs to the middle rope with a trash can in hand but Blackman quickly superkicks the can in his face. Blackman then climbs up and DDTs Raven from the top rope into a trash can and that gets the three to retain. ** Man this was fun, just a shame Raven jobbed again.

WWF Smackdown 12/21/2000 - WWF World Tag Team Titles: The Rock & The Undertaker vs. Edge & Christian

Rock and Taker get to enter first since they’re Rock and Taker then E&C are out and hesitate on getting in the ring. However Kurt Angle suddenly appears wearing a referee shirt. SWERVE!. E&C are happy about this and want a high-five but Angle just ignores them as he heads in the ring to officiate. Rock and Taker protest but turn their backs to their opponents who jump them from behind to start us off. Rock knocks Edge out of the ring but Angle orders him out to the corner while Christian works over Taker. Angle then reprimands Christian but that allows Taker to throw Christian into the corner and get in his offense until Angle then pulls him off. Taker wrenches Christian’s arm when Christian reverses it but Taker decks him then whips him into a corner and hits a clothesline. Taker whips Christian the other way when Edge comes in but Taker boots Edge down then gets Christian in a cross armbreaker.

Rock peppers Edge with right hands and caps off with the Smackdown then knocks Christian off the apron. Rock drills Edge with a DDT and covers him but Hebner is too busy getting Christian out of the ring to count. Taker pops Christian through the ropes and fights him on the floor while Hebner tries to get them back in the ring. Meanwhile Rock plants Edge with the spinebuster and readies to deliver the People’s Elbow when Angle comes back in and plants Rock with the Olympic Slam. Angle then drapes Edge’s arm over Rock and counts the 1..2..3 and Edge & Christian regain the titles after just three days. E&C are now five-time champs, tying the New Age Outlaws for most title reigns together. **3/4 Main event was fine probably just as good as on Raw, if not better. Cause the did that "I know that move, so I have a counter" this also had a hot crowd, but a bit shorter. Kurt was a good ref who didn't get involved hardly at all, except trying to enforce legal man rules. but leaves you wondering why Rock and Taker got that meaningless title run to begin with. Plus five title wins for E&C in just nine months and it just gets worse heading into WM-X7 if i remember correctly.

WWF Raw Is War 12/25/2000 - The Rock vs. The Undertaker

They gave this 8-9 minutes, and it was very good as expected. Takers work on rock's kidneys and back was AWESOME, everything was smooth. And Rock was on here with his selling and even his babyface comeback was great. I didn't even mind the Rikishi interference cause he has to get his heat back after his bump in the Cell match and what a way to get it back against with the man you have been feuding with for the past 2 months and the man who throw you off the cell. *** - ***1/4

WWF Raw Is War 12/25/2000 - WWF Intercontinental Title: Chris Benoit vs. Matt Hardy

AWESOME MATCH. Matt was wrestling with intensity and hatred and if you know Benoit that's how he always works so this was great. Benoit was even bumping for Matt, but when Benoit took over his offense was sweet the back work was vicious and it only made Matt's comeback better just a shame he no sold the back. ***1/2

ROH Breakout 2008 - Cage Match for the ROH World Championship: Nigel McGuinness vs. Chris Hero (w/Sweet 'n' Sour Inc.)

Pinfall, submission or escape wins it. Hero was his in his "goofy, antics and posing/Super Athlete" gimmick so you know this had some funny moments, he did do some great stuff with a chair like the Boston Crab with him sitting on the chair. I really didn't get why this was a cage match mainly cause the "Cage" GIMMICK is suppose to eliminate outside interference from getting involved and sure it did that while the match was going on when ever Nigel tried to escape they would get involved and 2nd it's usually used for bitter/blood feuds and this wasn't that type of feud. 3rd they barely used the cage. Anyway!. I did like Hero working the leg was a sound strategy as it worked as a way to make McGuinness tap and as a way to prevent McGuinness from climbing the cage. Just a shame they didn't really do anything with that as the match was near the closing. ***1/2 - ***3/4

Obviously, wasn't on the level of the WM III match but god damn this was still good. This was more slower and more based on psychology and getting heat for Randy. Really old old school heel vs. face match and Steamboat bumped well for him. Just 10-12 minutes of fun. ***3/4

Stampede Wrestling May 1979 - Keith Hart, Bruce Hart & Bret Hart vs. The Dynamite Kid & The Kiwis

So the DVD takes us about 10 minutes into the match already, UGH! This was a pretty solid old school tag formula heels beating the shit out of the "Face" Harts. (HOLY SHIT Bret's body looks as white and skinny as El Generico) They did pick up the intensity and pacing towards the end tho. *** Pretty much an exhibition of what Stampede wrestling was all about back then.
