These are all matches from 2000 that were cut after all viewing for the promotions were completed and the reasons why.

ECW

Super Crazy v. Tajiri - Mexican Death Match - ECW on TNN 1.15.00

I went over this in my last post.

CW Anderson v. Tommy Dreamer - I Quit Match 1.7.01

I know this was from the year 2001, but since ECW only ran three shows before going out of business, I went ahead and finished it up. This is actually the only match from 2001 ECW that I thought worthy of a second look. Watching it a second time around I came to the conclusion that I only like the finish. These two had a match at the 2000 ECW PPV that was pretty close to this one in quality, but fell short from making my first cut.

Tommy Dreamer may be one of the worst wrestlers of all time. Actually him, Sandman, and New Jack may form the unholy trinity of completely awful professional wrestlers. I only bring it up as I think this match is his best singles match EVER. He had good tags, notably One Night Stand 2006, but a match loaded with gimmicks that includes brawling legend Mick Foley, all-time legend, Terry Funk and a Beulah/Lita cat fight could hide anyone's weaknesses I suppose.

WCW

Rey Mysterio Jr. v. Juventud Guerrera - THUNDER 9.19.00

Nothing really bad about this match, but it is criminally short. It's roughly six minutes and doesn't pick up until half way through. Even though my entire scope of this project doesn't deviate outside of the decade I can't help but know that this was a phone in job for both guys. It was WCW in the year 2000 so I wouldn't expect anything more.

Most memorable things about this match were a. Konnan dogging Disco Inferno on commentary the whole time and b. Some fan screaming at Rey and Juvi the entire match that "You'll never work for Vince!" Oops.

Sean O'Haire/Mark Jindrak v. Alex Wright/Disco Inferno v. Rey Mysterio/Kidman - Halloween Havoc 10.29.00

All things considered this was a fun match. Alex Wright and the Thrillers were working hard in the match, basically unaware that the company was headed down the drain. Disco was Disco and the most I got from him out of this match is Konnan once again on commentary giving him shit. He actually was pretty harsh on the Thrillers ("They need to refund their wrestling teacher because they suck!" and "Natural Born Cranberries") at the beginning, but seemed to change his tune a little bit by matches end. Rey was just biding his time and Kidman looked like he just woke up. Like I said at the open, this was a fun match and really picked up towards the end. There were just a few more matches I felt were ultimately better.

WWE

Chris Benoit v. The Rock - Fully Loaded 7.23.00

I went over this one in my last post as well.

.... I have about five more matches from WWE that I cut and will get to them in the final post covering 2000 America's.
