WWF

Armageddon

Sunrise, Florida

Dec. 12th, 1999

 

Tag Team Battle Royal
Mark Henry & The Godfather vs. Christian & Edge vs. The Acolytes (Bradshaw & Faarooq) vs. The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray Dudley & D-Von Dudley) vs. The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy & Matt Hardy) (w/Terri) vs. The Head Bangers (Mosh & Thrasher) vs. Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay & Scotty 2 Hotty) vs. The Mean Street Posse (Pete Gas & Rodney)

One ref and either member being eliminated causing both members to lose is so odd. Crowd was super over for Hardys and Edge / Christian. Decent match with a lot of close falls and heels cheating at the edge. Winner was a bit lame though given who else was in the match. 

2.5 / 5

Singles Match
Steve Blackman vs. Kurt Angle

Rookie Angel here hadn’t hit his mark yet. Blackman is cool but he also just felt lifeless mostly like he never caught onto what to do or how to hit his mark. 

1.5 / 5

WWF World Women’s Title Four Way Evening Gown Match
Ivory (c) vs. Jacqueline vs. Miss Kitty vs. BB

Kat made this memorable for taking her top off but the version streaming won’t show it. This match was a travesty though and showed everything wrong with the womens division at this point. 

.25 / 5

Tag Team Match
Rikishi Phatu & Viscera vs. The Hollys (Crash Holly & Hardcore Holly)

Not sure who thought this was a good match let along a PPV match. Boring and the crowd couldn’t care less. 

.25 / 5

WWF European Title Triple Threat Match
The British Bulldog (c) vs. D-Lo Brown vs. Val Venis

Weird to think Bulldog had a time where the crowd didn’t care for him. Venis wasn’t over either but D-Lo had some love. This match though was just a boring sluggish 8+ minutes. 

.5 / 5

Steel Cage Match
Kane (w/Tori) vs. X-Pac

A fun cage match here from X Pac and Kane. Had some good moments and the flying clothesline was over huge with the crowd and felt like a big PPV moment. 

3 .25 / 5

WWF Intercontinental Title Match
Chyna (w/Miss Kitty) (c) vs. Chris Jericho

A decent match. Chyna was really athletic in ring and I think that’s often overlooked. Some good in ring psychology with Jericho working on Chynas thumb. It started to go a bit long but they pulled it before it became a chore to watch. 

3 / 5

WWF World Tag Team Title Match
The New Age Outlaws (Mr. Ass & The Road Dogg) (c) vs. The Rock ‘n’ Sock Connection (Mankind & The Rock)

This dragged along for a lot of it. Crowd wasn’t super behind it and the match didn’t seem to really be pushing towards anything. Rock And Sock is cool but here just didn’t feel like a threat to anything, just like killing time till bigger things could happen. 

2 / 5

WWF World Heavyweight Title Match
The Big Show (c) vs. The Big Bossman (w/Prince Albert)

Big Shows title run was boring and this match shows it. Thank god it was short. 

.5 / 5

No Holds Barred Match
Triple H vs. Vince McMahon

A brawl that just went on for far too long. They hit and dragged each other around a lot. Vince bled a bunch at the end though even though HHH had some HORRIBLE lines. I get the story here but this match just didn’t really work. 

1.5 / 5
