10 Best WWE Pay-Per-Views: 2000 - 2002

#7 WrestleMania X-8

Dreams came through

For the first time in 12 years, WrestleMania took place outside the U.S as it returned to the SkyDome in Toronto, Canada. The crowd of over 68,000 were treated to a spectacle.

The huge event opened with the ever-popular Rob Van Dam challenging William Regal for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. It was a short one at just over 6 minutes, but they made the best out of it. RVD came out on top with his first of 6 IC title reigns.

Diamond Dallas Page defended the European Championship against Christian next. Similar to the IC title match, this was just 6 minutes to but again, was made the best of. DDP retained with a Diamond Cutter.

Maven and Goldust fought to a no contest in a Hardcore Championship match after Spike Dudley ran down with his own referee to take the Championship. This led to a series of backstage segments throughout the night that would see the title switch from Spike to The Hurricane, to Molly Holly to Christian and back to original Champion of the night, Maven.

Some interesting trivia, Christian winning the title was the first time that a Superstar had won a Championship at three consecutive WrestleMania's.

Kurt Angle defeated Kane in a decent match. The Undertaker pinned Ric Flair in an exciting and an underrated No DQ match to extend his WrestleMania streak to 10 - 0.

Hometown hero Edge pinned Booker T in a short and poor match to end their silly hair shampoo Japanese commercial feud.

Up next was Stone Cold's match. For the first time since he was the Ringmaster, Austin was portrayed as just another wrestler, despite his rockstar reception.

Austin pinned Scott Hall in a passable match. Billy & Chuck retained the Tag Team titles over the APA, Dudley Boyz and Hardy Boyz in a decent Fatal Four Way.

A step down in WrestleMania tag team matches for the Hardyz and Dudleys though. Jazz retained the Women's Championship over Lita and Trish Stratus in a short but fair match.

Triple H pinned Chris Jericho in the main event to become Undisputed Champion. It was a disappointment compared to their matches in 2000 but still an exciting match. Much like another Triple H WrestleMania main event in 2009, the crowd had been worn out because of an earlier match by the time this happened.

The Rock and Hulk Hogan easily had the match of the night. Wrestling wise it was just about good, but the reaction from the crowd made it incredibly special. Rocky won in an unpopular decision, after a People's Elbow.
