KING OF THE RING 2000: A NIGHT TO REMEMBER IN BOSTON!
Boston, Massachusetts - The Fleet Center was electric last night as the WWE presented its flagship pay-per-view event, King of the Ring 2000. In a card that promised excitement and unpredictability, the evening delivered in spades.
The show kicked off with Rikishi defeating Chris Benoit in a thrilling quarterfinal match, showcasing both men's technical grappling skills. Val Venis then took down Eddie Guerrero in another closely contested bout, while Crash Holly shocked Bull Buchanan to advance to the semifinals.
Meanwhile, Kurt Angle continued his impressive streak by besting Chris Jericho in a hard-hitting quarterfinal match that had the crowd on its feet. The Hardy Boyz, Too Cool, and T&A (Albert and Test) were subsequently eliminated from the WWF World Tag Team Title Four Corners Elimination Match at the hands of Christian and Edge.
The action then shifted to the semifinals, where Rikishi dispatched Val Venis in a swift 3:15 match, while Kurt Angle outlasted Crash Holly in a battle that went the full distance (3:58). The evening's Hardcore Title Evening Gown Match between Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco ended in a no-contest after just 3:07 minutes.
The Road Dogg, Tori, and X-Pac then made quick work of the Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von) in their Three-on-Two Handicap Dumpster Match. The bout's conclusion was met with widespread applause from the sold-out crowd of 17,651.
In the main event, Kurt Angle faced off against Rikishi for the King of the Ring title. In a closely fought contest that saw both men give it their all, Angle ultimately emerged victorious in a time of 5:56.
Finally, the evening wrapped up with a WWE Title Six-Man Tag Team Match featuring Kane, The Rock, and The Undertaker taking on Shane McMahon, Triple H, and Vince McMahon. Despite an even distribution of power among the eight combatants, the trio of champions proved too much for their foes to handle in the end.
With all matches having been settled, Kurt Angle stood tall as the newly crowned King of the Ring 2000 champion. As we look ahead to future WWE events, it's clear that this talented grappler is one to watch.
