Another fact is that Triple H was the first ever heel wrestler to enter and then leave Wrestlemania with the WWE title.

Though that is true I still believe Yokozuna has that title. I believe triple h has the title of being the first heel to retain as the entering champion.

main event of wrestlemania 2000- Roman reigns wins the WWE championship

Wrestlemania24444 Nope. They will just prop up Reign's thoroughly embalmed corpse atop a latched springboard and with his right arm extended. As the bell rings to start the match the springboard will be released for Roman's patented superman punch and his opponent takes the 'bump' falling under the collapsing corpse for the clean victory. Roman's music plays and maybe, maybe finally, someone in attendance will cheer for Roman Reigns.

Everyone rags on this Mania, but the two falls triple threat between Jericho, Angle and Benoit was one of the best matches I've seen. Period.

This was the first Wrestlemania that a heel walked out with the WWE Title
Compare WWE in 1996 to WWE in 2000. Isn't it mindblowing how much WWE changed in only 4 years!? Even the Wrestlemania 12 logo looks so vintage and dated compared to the WM 2000 logo. It seems like WWE was stuck in the 80s until the mid to late 90s

Absolutely. I think a lot of it had to do with the Monday Night Wars and the emergence of ECW. Vince realised that to stay on top, the product had to evolve. He stole the best parts of WCW and ECW, calling it Attitude. WWF took WCW talentsand made them better (Foley, Triple H, Austin, Jericho, Benoit to name but a few). Whilst a short term gain Nash, Hogan and other WWF captures ruined WCW.

I've got a soft spot for this Mania.

We were all rooting for our boys on the main and needless to say, I left happy. Good times lol

X-Pac and Jericho had the best match at Unforgiven 1999. They had chemistry. I wasn't even mad that it ended in a DQ. It was by far the best match of the night. X-Pac and Shane at Mania XV was one of the best of the night, and X-Pac/HHH Backlash 1999 was arguably the best of the night. X-Pac was solid 1998-2000.

Lol this just made me think of how WWE branded Tazz for a bit. Chasing the Hardcore champion just because he was an ECW alumni, when in fact, he was one of ECWs more technical less hardcore gimmick based wrestlers.
I loved the Angle-Benoit-Jericho Euro-continental title match. Such awesome wrestling back then!
Wrestlemania 2000 was DEFINITELY my favorite one. X17 is a close second.
Remember when The Rock was the host of SNL on 2000 and HHH, Big Show, and Mick Foley made a appearance with The Rock. So they broke kayfabe within 15 days till Wrestlemania.

This WrestleMania made for a great game though. Loved playing it on my N64.
One thing you missed: At this event, Triple H became the first heel to enter Mania with the WWF title and leave with it. Prior to WrestleMania 2000, the title either changed hands or the good guy won.
I lived in Anaheim during the event and we got to watch it for free. The Tag Team TLC match was the best up to the point.

I was at this WrestleMania and something wwe doesn’t mention is how fans were so disappointed after this they were chanting we want our money back. I saw garbage being thrown everywhere even when I left the duck pond arena. Social Media wasn’t around back then. Imagine what would’ve happened if social media was around in 2000
How could anyone forget that Ice-T performed “Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy” for The Godfather in the first match
The main event of this Mania did have a lot going on with the booking, but it was still entertaining to watch. Would have loved to see Jericho, but you can't go wrong with Foley being involved. The drama was great in the main event. The reason why this Mania stands out though is cause of the TLC classic with Edge&Christian, Hardy Boyz, and the Dudley Boyz. That match changed and set a new standard in tag team wrestling. That match never gets old. Still incredible to watch 17 years later.

Forgot the fact that Triple H winning marks the first time someone went into the main event Heel and win. Stone Cold turned heel in WrestleMania 17, but 2000 established that a heel could defend in the main event.
I love it because it was the first WM I ever watched. The ladder match and the Triple Threat with Jericho & Beniot & Angle where great
Fact 11 - Had one of the best wrestling games ever named after it!
This was actually one of my favourite Wrestlemanias.
Great video. i enjoy these 10 facts they are amazing. Keep up the good work. :D
A fact more fascinating than any of the ones you listed, Triple H was the first heel to leave wrestlemania as the WWF champion.
Last time I was this early Roman was actually a good wrestler. In other words. I was never this early.
I miss Plumpy
It will forever be known as Mania 2000 and won't be called Mania 16 till the end of time

Why does everyone shit on this ppv? it had an amazing triple threat match for the IC and European championship and the triangle ladder match was also really good.
WM 2000 was not only my favorite WM - my favorite PPV or wrestling show i've ever seen.
It was the first Wrestlemania where the final match was won by a heel. 1-15 all had face victories in their final matches (final match being the last match of the night, not necessarily the Heavyweight Title match). It also marks the first Wrestlemania where the Heavyweight Title was in the possession of a heel wrestler at the end of the night.
I really like Adam, but please for god's sake slow down while speaking. It's like you're rushing to be done.
