83 Weeks - WCW SuperBrawl 2000 [Show Notes] (Patreon)

WCW SuperBrawl 2000

SuperBrawl 2000 or 10, took place on February 20th, at the Cow Palace, in San Francisco, California. It drew 5,538 paid and 3,031 comps to the Cow Palace in San Francisco paying $177,324 and another $38,520 in merchandise. 

WCW was reeling in a lot of ways at this time. Creatively, attendance wise, ratings wise, pretty much every way that a wrestling company could be hurting, that would describe WCW in the year 2000. The Monday Night Wars while techincally still ongoing, had been over for well over a year at this point, with the WWF firmly establishing their dominance

However, one of, if not their biggest hit came a few weeks before this event when Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and newly crowned World Champion, Chris Benoit left WCW and went to the WWF.

You had been gone from WCW since September of 1999 at this point. But, what was your reaction when those guys left WCW? Did you stay in touch with anyone from WCW who filled you in on what was going on with them?

Did you talk to any of them personally after they went to the WWF?

How big of a loss did you think their departure was going to be to WCW?

In hindsight, when you were in charge, do you wish you did more with them, as far as a main event push?

You would come back to WCW a few months later, in April. Had you already started talking to them about coming back here in February?

Let's get to some company news heading into SuperBrawl

HOUSE SHOW AVERAGE ATTENDANCE

Attendance decreased 46% for the year, with almost the entire decrease coming in the second half of the year. Nitro ratings decreased from a 4.47 average in 1998 where it actually beat WWF on average for the year, to a 3.66 average, or an 18% drop. But Nitro had strong ratings through March, when it took its first .6 drop over a one month period, then took a second .9 drop between April and June (May isn't a fair comparison because the NBA playoffs screw up Nitro), and a third big drop in October.

WCW buy rates fell from an 0.93 average in 1998 to an 0.55 average in 1999, which is a 41% drop, which largely explains much of the company's red ink. The big drop period came in April and May, after the Hogan-Flair SuperBrawl match did the last big buy rate, and included embarrassing performances for Fall Brawl in September and Starrcade in December.

In all, WCW sold out 15% of its house shows this past year (and only 2% from August through the end of the year) as compared with selling out 49% of its dates in 1998. WCW averaged $166,190 per house show and only dropped to $142,669, a 14.2% drop, because of increasing its average ticket price from $20.70 in 1998 to $25.89 in 1999.

Meltzer reported - Nash suffered an apparent ankle injury on 1/30 getting out of a car and slipping on ice. He underwent surgery on 1/31 and had a plate put in by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham and should be out of the ring for about six weeks, although he'll be back on TV this coming week 

Meltzer reported - Bobby Heenan missed Nitro allegedly due to a strep throat and Mark Madden was literally called at 2 p.m. the day of the show about flying in. The general feeling was he did really well and J.J. Dillon, Terry Taylor and Bill Busch were all said to be high on his performance. It's hard to do great when there is nothing great to call, but he was good and a big improvement over the level Heenan has been working at 

Madden would permanently replace Bobby on Nitro and on pay per views after this. What was your thoughts on that?

Meltzer reported - After having a meeting with WWF and basically coming out of it with an agreement, Bert Prentice got a better offer from WCW and took it. Actually Prentice's version of the story is that he told WCW he had a verbal deal from WWF, but they continued to pursue an agreement. After two weeks from the 1/12 meeting with Jim Ross, when Prentice hadn't gotten any paper work, Prentice then accepted the on-paper offer from WCW since it was more lucrative and that WCW Power Plant talent will probably start working for the group on 2/11. 

This is a blow somewhat to WWF's developmental situation because Prentice's Nashville territory was supposed to fill the void left by the guys who had worked for Randy Hales and Ohio Valley and no longer being allowed to work in Memphis for either Hales or Jerry Lawler (because of threatened legal action) would have still gotten in their five shows per week working Nashville on the weekends 

On February 3rd 2000, Vince McMahon announced that he was starting the XFL. What was your thoughts on that and were you surprised that it failed so fast?

It recently restarted again. Do you think it'll last this time? What does Vince have to do differently this time to make it work?

During this time, WCW was going through some trouble with ECW. WCW offered Sabu a contract and Paul Heyman sued WCW over it. 

Meltzer reported - In the midst of personal tragedy, Sabu's tenure in ECW appears finished for WCW, but late this past week his 71-year-old mother suffered two heart attacks. She was in stable enough but still serious condition by the early part of the week that family members were returning to work.

Terry Brunk (Sabu) agreed to a deal on 2/2 with WCW after talks between the two sides had been going on for at least several days, prompting threats of a lawsuit by Paul Heyman and ECW. Internet reports have listed the figure going around at $500,000 per year but the general feeling within the industry is the number is nowhere close to that, but probably close to double what he was earning in ECW. Top pay in ECW is a little under $200,000 per year and Sabu is on that top list.

What is clear is that Heyman had Brunk under contract through January 15, 2003 on a contract signed as of 7/29. The basic claim from one side is that while there was a contract, Heyman had breached it in some form, allegedly due to late payments for PPV money. ECW's side is that there was no breach, although there have been complaints going around about PPV money being owed, and the contract specifically calls for in the event of a breach, a letter being written to give 90 days notice for the company to absolve the breach and that no letter was ever written. ECW contracts stat that any filing to terminate the contract must be brought in either state or federal court in Westchester County and no such letter or filing had been made by Brunk.

WCW's plan was to debut Sabu on the 2/14 Nitro as a big surprise at the Nassau Coliseum. Heyman and WCW legal had many discussions on 2/7 regarding Heyman's claim that the company had tampered with his contracted personnel and that he had a binding contract with Brunk which may effect that start date. Heyman on 2/7 said that he was willing to sell his rights to Sabu's contract to WCW since there is really is no upside to his returning to the company at this point. But he said he wouldn't simply let him go without something in return, and if no settlement was made, threatened a temporary restraining order against both Brunk and WCW to keep him from appearing on the show as well as threatened a lawsuit and a complaint to the justice department over a contract tampering charge.

Talk about the legal battles that you had with Paul over the years when you were in charge of WCW

Meltzer reported - There were some slight re-arrangements of the hierarchy. The head booker is Sullivan, assistant booker is Taylor, head television writer is Ferrara and television editor is Schiavone. Russo was offered the head writer position but has refused unless he's the one running the entire show and refused to come back as part of a booking committee because I guess his contract gives him control of creative. Busch, at the last statement, suggested the two go their separate ways, but Russo isn't looking at giving up his big money contract that easily 

Sting did an interview on the Wrestlingobserver.com web site with Alex Marvez. When asked about people seemingly not having an idea of what to do with his character he said, "Nobody feels the frustration of it more than I do. We had a really good thing going. I know what happened. To give all the reasons would take too much time. But when things are really working, people find a way to try and break you down because nobody wants you to be too successful. I'm speaking of people within the wrestling business

Vince Russo, whose not with us anymore, told me when I come back he'd like to have me come back as the scary man who comes down from buildings. 

I don't know what happened with that and how it would come across from a mark's standpoint, if that's a favorite thing they would like to see go again. 

But I don't know if it's also one of those `been there, done that' ideas. I don't know if it would work again." He said he was originally scheduled to return on the 2/14 Nitro but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. He also said there's been talk of him coming back in his 80s blond flat-top gimmick but he said that he doesn't want to do that

Hogan was on the Bubba the Love Sponge show on February 7th and ripped on WCW for not putting him on Nitro that night saying the company won't spend money to make money. He was particularly hard on Kidman, saying that Kidman wouldn't even be able to headline a flea market wrestling show and said WCW needs to stick with Goldberg, Sting, Savage and himself to bring in the ratings. 

He said if he's not on Nitro, he can't give them high quarter hours or adequately build up his match with Luger. He also put over the job McMahon is doing with WWF saying it's no wonder WWF is kicking their butts when WCW has him but won't use him on TV and they use guys like Kidman as main eventers 

Meltzer reported about Scott Hall - The Hall story has gotten completely ridiculous. Hall, who, despite his track record was being pushed for the main event on the 2/20 PPV show as a three-way title match with Sid Vicious and Jeff Jarrett, appeared while getting on the plane to Germany that he hadn't slept in days (he had reportedly told other wrestlers the same story), got sick on the plane going over and was in no condition to perform the first night of the tour. 

Still, he did wrestle, and as punishment, on 2/11 in Hamburg was asked to put over David Finlay, which he did. He got wins over Finlay the next two nights but his condition wasn't described as being much better. There were incidents every night at bars regarding Hall challenging people to fights and even throwing cake at his girlfriend and moaning to many wrestlers about the last break-up of his marriage. As he went to the airport to fly home with the rest of the crew, his conditioned has worsened to the point the authorities wouldn't allow him on the plane. 

Terry Taylor, who apparently had trouble with him all weekend, tried to intervene, but with no success, in getting the authorities to just allow him on the plane to fly to New York for Nitro. Because of his condition, he missed the Nitro show at the Nassau Coliseum, where he was supposed to be in a major angle to set up the three-way, which led to the booking of a Jarrett-Vicious singles match on the show for the U.S. title and Jarrett winning.

Hall did get back into the U.S. in time for the Thunder tapings the next night in Philadelphia. There are varying stories over exactly what happened due to these incidents taking place just as this issue was going to press. What is confirmed is that in front of the crowd, the show was held up for more than 30 minutes while they attempted to do the scripted Hall promo, which was supposed to end with Hall breaking a guitar over Jarrett's head. 

Hall apparently said something that he might break the guitar over Taylor's head, and was taken seriously enough that he was pulled from the angle. Eventually, Bill Busch made the call that they weren't going to allow Hall to do the promo due to his condition and he left the building with Evan Karagias and there were rumors going around that this would be the final straw. 

Terry Taylor instead took a guitar shot from Jarrett. Hall's future in the company was unclear but he was out that night telling people that he hadn't showed up late and felt he had an iron-clad contract but that he might be sat down again.

Meltzer reported - Harrison Norris (Hard Body Harrison), Bobby Walker and Kazuo Onoo (Sonny Onoo) filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against WCW on 2/11 in federal court in Atlanta.

The lawsuit claims all three were forced to portray demeaning stereotypical roles as minorities in pro wrestling and not allowed to get roles reserved for white performers, and also claim white performers earn more money than their minority counterparts. One of the members of the legal team representing the wrestlers is former Georgia Attorney General Mike Bowers, who campaigned for Governor in 1998 ironically enough on ending affirmative action programs. 

Bowers accused Time Warner of hypocrisy for promoting racial stereotypes at the same time it condemned the same practices with the suspension of Atlanta Braves relief pitcher John Rocker for his comments in Sports Illustrated.

The suit claims WCW violated federal racial discrimination laws, humiliated minority performers and created a hostile work environment. The performers are also suing claiming that wrestlers should receive the status of company employees and not independent contractor status, which would enable them to receive workmen's compensation benefits. 

Norris, who is claiming that he lost his job because he was black, is looking for his contract to be reinstated. The lawsuit also noted the company's racial policy because a white performer (Buff Bagwell) appeared in black face to promote a match against a black performer (Ernest Miller). The lawsuit claims the promoters continue to push white wrestlers at the expense of minority wrestlers in the scripts and that racial epithets are used and nasty racial jokes are posted at the WCW offices according to exhibits in the lawsuit. The three have also prepared complaints to file with the EEOC office in Atlanta.

You've been friends with Sonny for a long time. Did he talk to you about this when it happened?

Hardbody Harrison is in jail for life, for keeping 8 women as sex slaves in 2 houses that he owned in Georgia

That takes us to the SuperBrawl pay per view

The show opened with a skit where Jarrett came out of a dressing room with the models and gave the impression he had just beaten up Kevin Nash (who of course wasn't even there) and thus was commissioner again and ordered the Harris Brothers reinstated. Not that it matters because the problems are far deeper than the surface, but they fill shows up with stipulations announced on television and wonder why nobody believes or cares about them. 

TAF KAPI pinned Lash Leroux to win the vacant WCW cruiserweight title in the tournament final in 5:47. Leroux did a running dive early that looked good. They were messing up spots real bad during the match. Finish saw Leroux go for a Frankensteiner off the top, but Paisley held Artist from going over and Leroux took the bump himself. Artist then used a mistimed leaping DDT off the top rope for the pin. 1/2*

Oklahoma was the champion but had to vacate the title for being over the weight limit of the division

Cut to backstage where Norman Smiley is getting his ribs taped up before his match. We also see a locked door, the big question being who is behind it 

Brian Knobs pinned Bam Bam Bigelow to win the WCW Hardcore title in 4:44. When David Finlay came out as Knobs' second, the only reaction I had was a headache trying to forget all the WCW storylines that make no sense. The announcers didn't even try to explain why the two were together after just starting a feud. Probably the same reason Jimmy Hart was with Knobs at Thunder and playing heel ref while at the same time playing Hogan's manager. The least they could have done for that one was to explain that Jimmy Hart has an evil twin.

They ended up brawling into the concourse and the whole world got to find out what those of us in this area have known for years. The Cow Palace by today's standards is a dump. Bigelow threw Knobs into a table and boxed his ears with garbage can lids. Mark Madden, who was a 1,000% improvement over Bobby Heenan, said there was something symbolic about that. 

Bigelow hit the Greetings from Asbury Park but instead of going for the pin, threw a chair at Finlay. Bigelow climbed the rope and ended up getting crotched and falling to the floor. Knobs got the pin on the floor after hitting him with his cast and a garbage can. 1/4*

Three Count (Evan Kavagias & Shannon Moore & Shane Helms) beat Norman Smiley in 4:06. Three Count didn't do their lip synch routine. Trust me, Three Count should NEVER appear on a major show without doing that routine. People hate it, but if they ever make it, it'll be this generation's version of Sheik & Volkoff doing the Russian national anthem. 

They did a lot of impressive flying but there was a lot of bad timing as well. They showed Smiley being taped up to sell his injuries, but he really didn't sell that much during the course of the match. Finish saw Karagias use a very impressive screw, followed by Helms with a very high frog splash and Moore got the submission with a boston crab. *

Wall pinned Demon in 3:37. This was actually billed as a co-main event. The nonsensical reason for this is that in Eric Bischoff's contract with KISS (which is why they even have the character with the big entrance that they use as a jolly green jobber) he guaranteed the character a certain number of PPV main event matches. Good lord. Bischoff thought he could main event Brian Adams on PPV. And now people are so nostalgic they want him back. 

This had the first crowd reaction of the show--loud boring chants. Wall took a slam off the top and barely tucked in time. He came inches from being seriously injured on the landing. Demon then got up to the top and Wall got up and choke slammed him off the top to the mat. -*

Ernest Miller did an interview where he promised James Brown would be there. They also throughout the show kept showing a secret locked dressing room which ended up being for Piper.

Tank Abbott beat Big Al in a skins match, which was a leather UFC jacket on a pole in 4:34. Tank should never go 1:34 at this stage. This was a combination of really stiff blows and bad language. Abbott sold real big for his buddy. They were, by pro wrestling standards, totally potatoing each other with blows. The crowd had no idea how to take this, but it wasn't a positive confusion. Abbott made a comeback and put Al on his shoulders like for a Samoan drop, then climbed the ropes, with Al's life being in grave jeopardy by the shakiness of Abbott while climbing. 

Right before Abbott got to the top, he dropped Al all the way to the floor, which was actually the planned spot. Al lived. Tank went to the floor and punched Al, then got the jacket for the win. 

After the match, Abbott pulled out a switchblade and put it to Al's throat and made some remarks about he could kill him right there. The director pulled away from the shot apparently in a major panic. 

Tony Schiavone in the thinking on his feet award tried to suggest Abbott had scissors and not a switchblade and was looking to cut Al's hair, of which he didn't have any. Okay, maybe it wasn't that great thinking on his feet. Everyone was asking questions about that one after. 1/4*

Big T pinned Booker in 5:23 in the Sesame Street Death match for the letter T. This was ungodly bad, actually the former Ahmed Johnson in his now pregnant state actually "carried" Booker to maybe the worst match of his career. Booker used a dropkick off the top when the lights went out, seemingly forever, teasing that Midnight was coming, with her music. Of course, she's not even in the company anymore. 

This gigantic human showed up on the apron, Teddy Reade, formerly of the No Limit Soldiers gimmick and Booker stared at him, allowing Big T to come from behind with a really bad Tiger driver for the pin. -*

Maestro said that if James Brown showed up, he'll listen exclusively to James Brown music, but if Brown didn't show up, that Miller would have to listen exclusively to Beethoven. The Harris Twins then beat up some guy who didn't have a key to the door. Let's see, they have armed guards at every door, but the most important door is left unprotected. And then they've got these supposedly menacing bald giant bikers, who make no attempt to even kick down the door and were crying because there was nobody around with a key.

Billy Kidman pinned Vampiro in 7:20. Match didn't have any heat but it was clearly the class of the show to this point but they also missed up a flying head scissors spot badly and Vampiro did a dropkick off the top rope with Kidman in the wrong position to make the move look good. The crowd was more into Vampiro than Kidman. Kidman won with a swinging reverse DDT off the top. Torrie Wilson was there, and even did a spot where she was on the apron and collided with Kidman. **1/4

Big Vito & Johnny the Bull retained the WCW tag titles in a Sicilian Stretcher match beating David Flair & Crowbar in 11:22. They worked real hard, but the crowd didn't care about this program and the stretcher aspect of the match was preposterous killing it. Crowbar did a nice plancha off the top onto a stretcher. Daffney did a huracanrana and her blue wig flew off in the process. At one point they put David on a stretcher and he was halfway to the back. He got off the stretcher, totally revived and didn't sell like he'd even been beaten. Vito power bombed Crowbar through a table. Johnny did a twisting legdrop off the top. Finally they taped David to the stretcher and they had to sell that David couldn't get off even with this athletic tape that wasn't even holding. Then the bell rang for no reason. Johnny hit Crowbar with a pipe and Vito splashed Crowbar off the top rope through a table and he got carried off on a stretcher with that ridiculous tape, although at least he'd taken a beating. The funny thing is the stretchers had restrainers that could have locked the guys in that would have at least looked better than that silly athletic tape. Then they put Daffney in a wheelchair and taped her up. Her being taped was the silliest of the three as the tape didn't hold but she still had to sell it. 1/2*

Miller came out with a fake James Brown dancing. Maestro and Symphony came out and basically said that Miller would have to listen to Beethoven (Miller had never agreed to the bet but it's well past time in WCW to worry about a five step story with steps two and four missing. The real James Brown came out and Maestro fainted. Miller and Brown danced. 

Nobody expected it but at least they finally got to see somebody with some star power. It's questionable whether Miller got any rub from it, but even if he did, the problem is, he still can't deliver once the bell rings.

Bad idea to not promote James Brown's appearance on TV before this event happened?

Ric Flair beat Terry Funk in a Texas death match in 15:40. They ended up doing the falls don't count and after the fall, the loser has a ten count to answer the bell. Of course that sort of ruined the drama of the finish because Flair and Funk were wrestling with the idea that both the winner and loser had to answer the bell since Flair teased being unable to answer the bell on the final fall. It's been so many years since this match was done and the stipulations were put over so poorly on television (they once mentioned the stips which ended up being different from the stips they ended up doing anyway) that fans didn't understand it. 

Rule 1-A of wrestling booking is that if you have a stipulation match, and the participants and the announcers don't get the stips over to the fans strongly, the fans won't care and if the fans don't care, why do the stipulation in the first place? For the first time in something like 25 years, they talked about Dory Funk Sr. being King of the Texas Death matches, which is something since Terry has been around WCW for years and nobody has ever even mentioned he had a famous father. 

Tony Schiavone said that his father once had a death match that lasted four hours. Since there are no wrestling history books, I don't know about that, but I do recall around 1971 or 1972 that a death match between Dory Funk Sr. and Cyclone Negro went almost two hours and 44 falls which was a legendary match in that city, and I think he may have done a famous two hour match once with Mike DiBiase as well. This was probably the best match on the show, but sad in that it didn't have much heat and it was really slow and also they used 70s finishers to end falls and fans didn't pop for them either. 

Funk scored the first pin at 5:06 after two suplexes on the floor. Flair used this flimsy looking chair for shots to Funk's bad knee. 

Flair took the second fall in 7:46 with the figure four. Funk won the third fall with a piledriver outside the ring on the mats, and a second on the concrete in 10:10. In the fourth fall, Funk piledrove Flair inside the ring through a table. 

The problem is that in trying to sell this as something big, Mark Madden said before the piledriver that if Flair went through the table, it would be the end of his career because of the 1989 injury (which was a work). Then Flair went through the table, and the pro he is, he did sell it for the rest of the match, but you can't tease a career ending injury and not block the spot unless you are doing a major injury angle out of the spot. Funk pulled Flair's arm up to give him more punishment.

Funk went to the top rope for a moonsault through a table but Flair got up and Funk took a nestea plunge bump backward through the table and was pinned, and then couldn't answer the bell for the fifth fall. It should also be noted that Funk's chest was chopped raw to the point blood was dripping from all of Flair's hard chops. **1/4

These guys had a legendary feud in 1989, culminating with the I Quit match on the Clash of the Champion 9 event. 

Speaking of Ric, Meltzer reported - Ric Flair, officially, isn't running for Governor of North Carolina. He missed the Republican filing, but talked about running on the Reform party ticket, but clearly he'd have no chance as an independent. Realistically it seems like it was more of a publicity stunt to test the waters than something he was going to seriously do at this point. Contrary to reports, Flair has not signed a new contract with WCW although negotiations are going on for a new deal. Flair's current contract calls for him to earn $500,000 this year and to not wrestle in the ring and work more in a p.r. capacity, and clearly he's still going to be used in the capacity of a wrestler and probably wind up working more house show dates than any other major star in the company 

Hulk Hogan beat The Total Package in 8:10. Hogan got by far the biggest pop coming out. At one point Elizabeth went to give Luger the bat but Jimmy Hart ran out and grabbed the belt. It was typical Hogan and he got a solid but I wouldn't even call it a good reaction once the match started, but better than anyone else. He no sold a suplex and made the comeback with a foot to the face. Luger used a low blow but Hart hit Luger with a weak cast shot, and then Hogan hit Luger with almost as weak a cast shot and a terrible looking legdrop for the pin. 

Flair ran in to attack Hogan after the match with Luger but Sting made the save. The last time we saw Sting and Hogan, Hogan was laying down for Sting at Havoc for no reason that was ever explained and the time before that Sting turned on Hogan hitting him with a bat. The fact none of this is acknowledged is one of the reasons nobody cares about WCW storylines. *

These guys have a history but never had a long, extended feud. They wrestled each other for the 1st time on the 2nd Nitro. Then in August of 97, Luger beat Hulk for the title on Nitro, then about 5 days later, Hulk won it back from him at Road Wild

Sid Vicious retained the WCW title in a three-way over Scott Hall and Jeff Jarrett in 7:40. Hall decided to prove something and was good in the ring, as was Jarrett. The problem was there was little to the match besides beating up refs and no time to do it. Billy Silverman took one of the all-time worst ref bumps ever to go out first. Vicious choke slammed both guys at the same time but no ref. Nick Patrick came in for a series of near falls. After the first ref bump atrocity, at least Jarrett used his stroke on Patrick. 

They had a good near fall where one of the Harris twins accidentally hit Jarrett with a chair and Hall went to pin him with Charles Robinson as ref. Jarrett then used the stroke on Robinson and then Mickey Jay until Mark Johnson ran in. Hall used the edge on Jarrett and Johnson counted to two and then sold a shoulder injury. The crowd was totally dead by this point because the ref bumps went past the point of redundancy. Finally Piper, with one arm due to his born bicep of several months back, came back. 

Piper decked Johnson. Jarrett hit Hall with a guitar shot and Vicious then choke slammed both Jarrett and Hall and power bombed Hall for the pin. On TV they never acknowledged Hall being injured before they went off the air. *3/4

The show ended with a scary scene of Scott Hall being injured and taken to the hospital with a possible spinal chord injury which is believed to be from a combination of the guitar shot he took from Jeff Jarrett, which injured his neck (he did take the blow awkwardly), and the power bomb delivered by Sid Vicious. The timing of the injury is even more strange since there were expectations that after this match that Hall would be either fired or at least suspended for his actions both in Europe and in Philadelphia and even his closest friends in the company after last week were saying that he really had to be fired. 

Hall was scheduled for an MRI on 2/22 and was said to have weakness on the right side of his body and a preliminary diagnosis of a bulging disc. Naturally there is plenty of skepticism due to the timing. The problem now is that so many wrestlers in WCW are injured, the belief is that some of them are "milking" it to get paid and not to have to come back to the mess (and with Hall there are even more reasons), so with the belief some are, then virtually every injury becomes questioned. 

WCW SUPERBRAWL 2000: Thumbs up 12 (8.5%); Thumbs down 126 (88.7%); In the middle 4 (2.8%). 

Best match poll: Vampiro vs. Billy Kidman 51, Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk 40, David Flair & Crowbar vs. Big Vito & Johnny the Bull 10;

Worst match poll: Wall vs. Demon 53; Big T vs. Booker 17; Tank Abbott vs Big Al 15 

Definitely a pretty forgettable pay per view, during a pretty forgettable time in the history of WCW. What letter grade would you give SuperBrawl 2000?
