My performance in the lightweight battle royal doesn't deter my perseverance one bit! After all, I was never pinned in said battle royal, only tossed over the ropes because the match started while DaGeneticFreak was sleeping; not to mention, do you guys know how hard it is to wrestle at 2 in the morning?!
So let this be a warning to the lightweight division. I am STILL 1-0 in my quest to gain the Lightweight title and achieve the Grand Slam, as I am still The Undefeated Raven!
Oh, and...
Neither of these clowns ExTha Sess Ayvuir Chronic Dp and I are better than both of these cretins!

Link to the Past - I would probably get frustrated when the guards don't let me in the main palace and go back to my house to sleep. FF9 - Die when the ship crashes in the woods, that is if I don't get incinerated by the bomb FF7 - Apprehended by the guards in the beginning RE4 - Run like hell from the first couple of crazed men, and completely not notice the tripwire while running. Goldeneye - Gunned down in the dam Star Fox 64 - Die while trying to find the eject button

With my third E-Popmania coming to a close, I can say that Dp and I wrestled our hearts out and came closer to winning the tag team titles at EPM than I did teaming with Tecknic. AND, since Crimson pinned Mer, that makes Team ExTha still look pretty good and my record still unscathed. So take notes Tom and XIII, if either one of you want to do anything remotely memorable in your career, then you will put all your money down in the draft on The Undefeated Raven!

From: GTM | #221 the main event is The Raven's match
he's undefeated!
Thank you GTM, at least someone here knows my complications with the UCA's head booker. Wait... is that? No... no don't Tom, you bast-
*Titantron airs UCA Botchamania, beginning with Raven's botch promo from last night mistaking XIII as the recent booker, followed up with 95% of ctesjbuvf's matches and the one night where Tony Schiavone did guest commentary because JR was absent and Tom only had $20*

I was only at work from 8-5, but between midnight and 5 PM, we only sold 2. The one that was bought at midnight was returned two hours later for repeatedly freezing up.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to discuss Lent with you.
Lent explains why ExThaNemesis will forever be a better UCA Superstar than me, because he has the willpower to give up shark wrestling for forty days. I thought about the things I love the most, but none of them are worth giving up for a long period of time. I COULD give up winning, but let's face it, I never lose legitimately. And I gave up the fans a long time ago, so they don't really count (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!). Keep sucking down Haterade punks, I buy mine in bulk!
I could also give up listening to our bookers, but then again, as usual, there's no reason to listen to them in the first place. Just when I thought Tom was the worst booker in UCA history, XIII decides to step it up a notch, though he has a good ways to go to reach Tom's level. Last night, XIII puts me up against a fresh JONA who has just recently won the respect of all these miserable cretins because he chose to not give his title shot to ExTha. For those of you who know me personally, I'm slowly recovering from a cold and have wrestled sluggishly for the past two weeks, and speaking worse than my bodyguard here, and XIII puts me, a middleweight, up against a heavyweight. That's like making Georges St. Pierre defend his UFC title against Junior Dos Santos, a man two weight classes higher than him!
But still, congrats to JONA who will get his only win between now and Epopmania. While I am 0-1 against Heavyweights, I am however 1-0 against people in my own weight class AND undefeated at Epopmania, so that still makes me The Undefeated Raven! *crowd boos heavily*

And now, WWF vs. WCW in December to close out 2000!
Armageddon was a pretty solid ppv, so Starrcade had a huge mountain to climb if it wanted to do better. If every match were as good as the first, Armageddon would have been Starrcade's *****, but that wasn't the case.
Starrcade's opener was a 3-way tag team ladder match between 3-Count (Gregory Helms and Shannon Moore), the Jung Dragons (Kaz Hayashi and the guy who'd eventually be Jimmy Wang Yang), and Evan Karagias/Jamie Noble; despite being a tag team match, whichever individual got the contract at the top would get a shot at Chavo's cruiserweight title. The match itself was one of WCW's best in 2000, and it ended with Helms and Moore both grabbing the contract at the same time to troll with Chavo.
Then Lance Storm defeated The Cat with help from Elix Skipper, Major Gunns, and Jim Duggan (before Storm and Skipper turned Duggan face again by beating him down afterwards). Then we got some good Hardcore action as Terry Funk won the Hardcore title from Crowbar. KroniK and Vito/Reno ended in a no-contest after Reno turned on Vito and left him. Mike Awesome dropped Bam Bam Bigelow through the roof of an ambulance to win their Ambulance match (which was better than Cena/Kane, but nowhere near as good as Shane/Kane). Hugh Morrus defeated Shane Douglas by DQ to retain the US title when Hugh's ally Chavo pulled some Eddie-like tactics and made the ref believe Douglas used a chain in the match.
Jeff Jarrett and the Harris Brothers defeated Konnan, Rey, and Kidman in a Bunkhouse Brawl that seemed okay. The Insiders (Nash and DDP) continued playing hot potato with the WCW Tag Titles as they beat Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak to win them back. Goldberg defeated Lex Luger to win what would be his final ppv victory for over 2 years (and then Buff Bagwell unsurprisingly turned heel on Goldberg). Finally, in Starrcade's final main event ever, Scott Steiner overcame botches from Midajah and a misguided guitar-shot from Jeff Jarrett to STILL retain the WCW World title when he made Sid Vicious pass out to the Steiner Recliner. What a boss.
That being said, with only 2-3 good matches, Starrcade couldn't compete with Armageddon. WWF wins 2000 by a score of 11-1. WCW's ppv wrestler of the year? As crazy as this sounds, I'd probably say Jeff Jarrett; he was the only consistent big star all year for the dying company.

My celebration is late, but still serves its purpose!
With my victory over Andel, I am officially 1-0 upon my return to UCA singles competition. Now let the party commence!

Main event was okay. Knew Cena was going to win, cause a Kane win would have thrown a slight wrench in the plans for Cena/Rock. Now we just wait for the conclusion to the Cena/Eve/Ryder triangle on Raw.

True, but let's look at all the main candidates, maybe I can look at this from a broad perspective...
The Rock: 10 ppv main events (in which he goes 6-4), two world titles (1 month and 4 months), Tag Team Champion for one day in December, Royal Rumble winner, and stayed active all year, which helps. Notable ppv matches include Backlash, Judgment Day, SummerSlam, Unforgiven, and No Mercy.
Triple H: 8 ppv main events (in which he goes 3-4-1), two world titles (3 months and 1 month). Notable ppv matches include Royal Rumble, No Way Out, Backlash, Judgment Day, Fully Loaded, and SummerSlam
Kurt Angle: 3 ppv main events (going 2-1), one world title, 2000 King of the Ring, won the European, Intercontinental, and WWF Championship in a single year.
Chris Benoit: 2 ppv main events (0-2), one WCW world title, multiple IC titles, ALMOST won the WWF Championship twice
Chris Jericho: Went 5-8 at ppvs this year, ALMOST won the WWF Championship, but did win the European title once and the IC title twice. Also had the match of the evening at Fully Loaded, if that helps >_>
WCW doesn't really have any WotY candidates in 2000. Jeff Jarrett falls off the grid after August, Scott Steiner steps into the grid far too late in the year, and before Booker T was in the limelight, he was still jobbing to Ahmed Johnson on ppv.
There's plenty of reason to believe that Angle or Rock could be the 2000 WotY in this case

WWF vs. WCW, November edition, with shocking results!
I was a little letdown with Survivor Series myself. While Rikishi did decimate The Rock, he really should have got the win at the ppv. Instead he eventually becomes HHH's lackey. Speaking of HHH, a spot like that should have sidelined him for the rest of the year, which would have made his return in January 2001 more memorable. The title matches (besides Angle/Taker, which was just clever on Angle's part) were bleh, and I didn't care too much for any of the other matches.
Which gave Mayhem the perfect opportunity to seize and conquer the month of November. Yeah, Mayhem had an absolute turd of a match between radio personality Mancow and Jimmy Hart, but thankfully you only watch it for a minute. The matchup between The Cat and Shane Douglas was pretty blah too, and it's hilarious that Kidman and Mysterio can somehow beat Alex Wright and two massive (in muscle) heavyweights (Brian Adams and Bryan Clark).
But the rest? Surprisingly watchable. Mike Sanders and Kwee Wee wrestled a watchable Cruiserweight match, Lance Storm's recent US title win ended in vain again as Hugh Morrus won the belt back (clean, I think), Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak carried DDP and Kevin Nash to the longest match of the evening (even though DDP and Nash won the tag titles, but I can live with that), Jeff Jarrett and Buff Bagwell had a good bout, and Goldberg rightfully squashed a Lex Luger past his prime (who wouldn't job clean, surprise surprise.... Also, 3-Count, the Jung Dragons, and Jamie Knoble and Evan Karagias wrestled the second-best match among all three teams (their best would come next month!). Finally in the main event (and WCW's Match of the Year), Scott Steiner rips through a ****ing straight jacket and beats Booker T in a steel cage match with ZERO INTERFERENCE (shocking by WCW standards, since this was WCW's equivalent to Hell in a Cell) to win his first and only world heavyweight championship. Simply put, the main event was two guys wanting to ****ing kill each other and it was great because of such.
WWF still leads 10-1, but WCW prevents the shutout, folks!

From: JDTAY | #080 Hmm, not sure what to make of this comment. Is Gastonia central or west?
I'd say closer to Central, considering it's near Charlotte. I lived in Central NC for nearly 20 years and started going to Western Carolina in 2006. There ARE good people out here (and by that, I mean half of Waynesville and a good amount of the students at WCU), they're just hard to find though.

Time for the October edition of WWF vs. WCW in 2000! I actually got to watch Halloween Havoc that year, as my cousin was ordering it on ppv and my mom gave me permission to miss school the next day. If I could now, I'd go back and make my 15-year-old self go to school instead.
Halloween Havoc 2000 was a complete mess. First the good... we got a good 3-way tag title match between Mark Jindrak/Sean O'Haire, Kidman/Rey Mysterio, and Disco Inferno/Alex Wright, though it could have been a few minutes longer. We even had a fairly decent Hardcore title match between Reno and The Wall (Sgt. AWOL, actually, but still), as well as a good tag team match between Palumbo/Stasiak and Lash Leroux/Chavo Guerrero.
Then the rest happened. Konnan and Shane Douglas wrestled a mediocre match where they teamed up with far-below-average female tag team partners (Tygress for Konnan, Torrie for Shane). Buff Bagwell beat David Flair in a First Blood DNA match (the two were competing to determine who the father of Stacy Keibler's unborn child was). Mike Sanders defeated The Cat in a boxing match by count out to become the new commissioner (didn't know boxers COULD be counted out due to interference). Mike Awesome plugged his horrid "That 70s Guy" gimmick as he squashed Vampiro to become the number 1 contender to... the United States Championship. Also, General Rection (Hugh Morrus) beat Lance Storm and Jim Duggan in a handicap match to win the US Championship and free Major Gunns from Team Canada (which would end in vain, because a week later, Major Gunns would flat out JOIN Team Canada and help Storm win back the belt).
Then the bigger mess happens. Jeff Jarrett beats Sting when half-a-dozen people dressed as former Stings interfere. Then Scott Steiner gets himself DQ'd in a world title match by hitting Booker T and a few refs with a lead pipe. Finally, in the joke of a main event, Goldberg squashes KroniK in less than 4 minutes, and it counts as two wins due to Goldberg pinning both men (Goldberg was on a quest to win 176 matches in a row in order to receive another world title shot, or else be fired from WCW forever).
In short, No Mercy was one of the better ppvs of 2000, while Halloween Havoc was easily one of the worst.
WWF leads 10-0!

From: TheKnightOfNee | #334 What is Paul Orndorff still doing wrestling in 2000?
Honestly, I can't remember why or how he got put in the storyline between the Thrillers and the Filthy Animals.
Also, hey, William Regal back in WWF? His first run sure was short.
Yeppers. Regal returns after Unforgiven, where he first starts off trying to teach the fans table manners and poetry, only to be humiliated by Chris Jericho, Steve Austin, or someone else. Eventually, he gets fed up with Al Snow's awesome entrance themes as European Champion that he challenges Snow to a title match and wins clean.
To make things better, Regal's been employed in the WWF since! No runoffs to TNA or anything that silly.
-- http://www.facebook.com/zerosignal I swear to God, I'll pistol-whip the next person that says shenanigans!
Unforgiven vs. Fall Brawl Unforgiven 2000 was a pretty stacked ppv. You had a good fatal-four way, a good Trips/Angle match, and an awesome cage match between E&C and the Hardys. You also had some matches featuring Eddie Guerrero, Rikishi, a slew of Hardcore superstars, and Raven making his big (at the time) appearance.
Fall Brawl was one that had promise at the beginning of the show, as we saw Elix Skipper and Kwee Wee wrestle a good cruiserweight title match, and then a good 3-on-3 match between the Misfits and 3-Count. Then we saw Jim Duggan turn heel (by turning Canadian), Sting resorting to interfering to help Mike Awesome beat Jeff Jarrett in a No DQ match (moments after watching Sting beat Vampiro and Muta, with ICP watching ringside). Also, Scott Steiner lived up to the promise made in his promo and (with the help of Midajah and Vince Russo, but then again it WAS No DQ) made Goldberg TKO to the Steiner Recliner, and Booker T won his second world title against Kevin Nash in a short main event.
The joke, however, was in the match between the Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey, Disco Inferno, Juvi, Tygress, along with Big Vito and Paul Orndorff) and the Natural Born Thrillers (Mark Jindrak, Sean O'Haire, Chuck Palumbo, Shawn Stasiak, Reno, Mike Sanders, and Johnny the Bull). The match ends prematurely after Orndorff suffers a neck injury, but they continue the match the next night on Nitro with the remaining superstars: Rey Mysterio and Nitro girl Tygress against Mark Jindrak, Sean O'Haire, Chuck Palumbo, Shawn Stasiak and "Above Average" Mike Sanders. Here's what happened next!
- Rey and Tygress eliminate Mark Jindrak and Sean O'Haire with simultaneous roll-ups. (2-on-3 now) - Palumbo pins Rey (1-on-3) - Tygress covers a laid-out Stasiak (1-on-2) - Tygress surprises Palumbo with a roll-up (1-on-1) - Tygress facebusts Mike Sanders for the win. That's right, a Nitro Girl (and not a good one at that) just got put over FOUR guys (very talented ones at that)
Oh yeah, WWF leads 9-0, going for the sweep!
