The crowds back then were better, but you have to admit, a few weeks ago, the Evan Bourne/Cena team got a massive pop near the end of the match, especially for the pin on Sheamus.
Remember when there was actually something on WWE worth getting excited about? The most exciting thing WWE has done recently is bring back Bret Hart and even then they didn't know how to hype it correctly.
i think i now know why i used to get so many goosepimples when i was watching wrestling 10 years ago.. i think the crowd's attitude and the company's attitude were just amazin back in these days.. will never be the same again unfortunately. i'd recommend anyone to watch every major event of the 2000's though cause they are all great!
I remember seeing the poster in WWF magazine for this event...It was Kane's face and if you looked closely, Taker's symbol was in his eye...can't believe no one noticed that.
@Icecreamman902 He was supposed to face hhh in a casket match before unforgiven 99 but he walked out on wwe and he was dressed as da ameican badass b4 he left
For those of us that remember, the next night (and after the event if you bought the VHS), it was explained that the DQ happened before the bizzer rang.
Pause @ 1:28 and you will see what was told to the audience when explaining all the controversey over the time, with 4 seconds still left.
HBK stated he saw the chokeslam, and when he got back in-he warned Taker not to do what he thought he saw earlier, but he Tombstoned him. Thus, causing HHH pain, and giving him the final fall and a win.
Even though its fake and setup, they still fucked up the end. The buzzer rang after he pildrived him and then rang the bell, so it shouldn't have counted it there. And why does Triple H get the pinfall, Undertaker was neutral. Stupid Heartbreak Kid.
thats gotta be the biggest pop ive heard in a while, ive seen some big pops but this one takes the cake. I think it beats triple h's comeback in 2002 and i was there, my ears were ringing for 3 hours after
This was the WWF! God I miss these times when I was jumping up and down in the air and getting goosebumps, excitement taking me over, wanting to tune in week after week.
I remember this like yesterday... the crowd went nuts because at the time HHH was the most hated wrestler, every week he had ten men beat up The Rock plus he had his hammer, both Austin and Undertaker were injured for several months so when either of em came back to beat up HHH and his crew it was a beautiful thing!
i remember the build up to this. I kept saying to my friend its gonna be the undertaker returning as im sure there was 1 frame in the promo videos where you saw him! He never believed me though!
What a reaction from the crowd, surely one of the best moments in the history of wwe
I remember when this happened. I remember the precise moment in the little girls' chant when I realized this meant Taker was coming back. This had to be the best return ever.
Taker is so over with the crowd, it's insane. lol This was 10yrs ago. 10yrs later he's still insanely over with the crowd. Still hard to believe that this in fact happened 10yrs ago. I swear to God, I remember this like it was yesterday.
i think this persona of the Taker should be used now instead of 2000.....tht time there was no much facilities...i love tht time in wrestling.....tht takers coat is awesome...!!!!!!!
stupid question, but how did they know it was The Undertaker..besides the "back from the dead" line from the song intro, with the bandana and sunglasses and NOT the black hair..i wouldnt have really known it was him at the time.
@maclieberman Not a stupid question because when he first came back I didn't realize it was him either, until I heard "back from the dead" line.....But I guess the only reason they knew it was him was because in late 1999 he started wearing the bandanna and sunglasses when doing his promos backstage. But that's from a fans prospective. I miss these days of wrestling!
Freedom Hall in Louisville baby my home town. I was there it was awesome. Me and my buddy saw undertaker outside before the event getting out of limo.
@MiskeenPrince ur damn right..especially with him being gone for awhile..NEVER expected him to come back at the time and come back looking like that and kickin ass...yeah what a pop that was for sure.
ohhhhh man as soon as i saw this i was jumpin the fuck around and screamin lol..The Undertaker has been my all-time favorite wrestler and seein him return was so unexpected and just got me sooooooo excited lol...GREAT comeback!
Damn do you guys see the freaking crowd THEY LOVED IT!!!! Dang i wish that the people were still this excited now...... compared to this crowd, now its like nothing. I wish it was still like this...
I wonder if it would be possible for an unknown wrestler to debut in WWE like this? The crowd maybe like "who the hell is that?" but if they do it right and some awesome looking guy comes down to cool music and beats the living shit out of John Cena i bet the crowd would love it! (apart from 12 year old girls)
Probably two of the best pops in WWF/WWE history happened within two months. Stone Cold's return at Backlash 2000 and the Undertaker's return at Judgement Day 2000. God I miss those days.
@lazaruskun the match was that the match was going on but the whole corporation was allowed to get involved taker had to permission to be involved making it a dq
This is the best return in all wrestling history this is the loudest crowd i ever heard in my life and wwe is so bad now that the wwe has to put in crowd noise for ecw raw and smackdown
