PPV Recap: Fully Loaded '00 - Dallas, TX

The sun wasn't the only thing that was fully loaded in the Reunion Arena last night; World Wrestling Entertainment brought the heat with a star-studded card at their latest pay-per-view extravaganza. With a sold-out crowd of 14,668 fans eager to witness the mayhem, Fully Loaded '00 did not disappoint.

Match 1: Lita & The Hardy Boyz vs. T&A & Trish Stratus - Six-Man Tag Team Match

A great way to start the night, this match showcased some of the best talent WWE has to offer. Jeff and Matt Hardy, accompanied by their partner Lita, took on the vaunted duo of Test and Albert, along with Trish Stratus. A thrilling affair that saw plenty of high-flying action and near-misses, the Hardyz ultimately emerged victorious in 13:09.

Match 2: Tazz vs. Al Snow - Singles Match

A nice change of pace from the opener, this bout pitted the intense Tazz against the eccentric Al Snow. With a focus on technical grappling and some hard-hitting strikes, Tazz proved his superiority, submitting Snow in just 5:19.

Match 3: Perry Saturn vs. Eddie Guerrero - WWE European Title Match

The always-exciting Eddie Guerrero faced off against Perry Saturn for the WWE European Championship. A back-and-forth contest that saw both competitors give it their all, Saturn managed to eke out a win and retain his title in an impressive 10:35.

Match 4: The Acolytes vs. Christian & Edge - WWF World Tag Team Title Match

The powerhouse duo of Bradshaw and Faarooq, known as the Acolytes, put their tag team titles on the line against the up-and-coming Christian and Edge. In a hard-hitting affair that saw plenty of aerial attacks, the champs emerged victorious in 8:10.

Match 5: Val Venis vs. Rikishi - WWE Intercontinental Title Steel Cage Match

The main event of the undercard was this steel cage bout for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Val Venis, looking to reclaim his title from the dominant Rikishi, put everything on the line in a 14:08 war that saw both men leave it all in the ring.

Match 6: The Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle - Singles Match

The Deadman, always a force to be reckoned with, took on the explosive Kurt Angle in this intense singles match. In what was essentially a battle of strength and willpower, 'Taker emerged victorious in 7:33.

Main Event: Triple H vs. Chris Jericho - Last Man Standing Match

And then there were two. The Game, Triple H, faced off against the Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla, Chris Jericho, in a Last Man Standing match that would leave only one man standing. A brutal and physical affair that saw both competitors push each other to their limits, it was Triple H who ultimately emerged victorious in an exhausting 23:10.

Main Event (Again): The Rock vs. Chris Benoit - WWE Title DQ Leads To Title Change Match

The night's main event had to be topped, so WWE threw everything at us with this WWE Championship match. The People's Champion, The Rock, put his title on the line against the hard-hitting Chris Benoit. A wild and unpredictable affair that saw plenty of chair shots and outside interference, it was The Rock who initially retained his title before an accidental chair shot from Benoit led to a disqualification and, as a result, a new champion in Benoit.

In conclusion, Fully Loaded '00 was everything WWE promised and more. With some incredible matches and moments that will be remembered for years to come, this pay-per-view event left the Reunion Arena crowd thoroughly entertained and eager for what's next.
