4. Triple H vs The Rock – Backlash 2000

In this writer’s humble opinion, wrestling is at its peak when its at its highest levels of insanity. While your standard, bell-to-bell matches have given us countless classics, sometimes a good old-fashioned fight is what every fan wants, which is what may have made the Attitude Era as special as it was. Elements such as these are the reason the likes of Triple & The Rock had the level of chemistry that was on display every time they stepped foot in a ring together.

Backlash 2000 is widely regarded as one of the best PPV’s of all time, much of this is attribute to the quality of the shows main event, a match many felt should have headlined Wrestlemania 2000 just weeks prior. Main events at this time always featured overbooking and some bizarre antics, sometimes these interferences affect the flow of a match, but it worked to perfection with this excellent main event.

A combination of ringside chaos, interference from the McMahons & the incredible return of ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin sent the crowd into overdrive, almost shattering the roof of the arena with the amount of cheers this booking process received. If there is also no better time, the announcers team should receive credit for the incredible job they did on selling the amount of chaos that ensued, truly something I admire considering the absolute state this match left the arena in. If you’re a fan of the bizarreness in professional wrestling, look no further.
