Fully Loaded (2000)

The 2000 Fully Loaded was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It was the third annual and final Fully Loaded and took place on July 23, 2000, at the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas. In 2001, Fully Loaded was replaced by Invasion, which was then replaced by Vengeance in 2002. The main event was a standard wrestling match for the WWF Championship. The Rock defended the title against Chris Benoit. The match stipulated that if The Rock was disqualified, he would lose the title. He was disqualified, albeit controversially, and as a result, Benoit won; however, WWF Commissioner Mick Foley overturned the decision and restarted the match, resulting in The Rock pinning Benoit after a Rock Bottom to retain the title. The undercard featured Triple H versus Chris Jericho in a Last Man Standing match, The Undertaker versus Kurt Angle, Val Venis versus Rikishi in a Steel Cage match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, Edge and Christian versus Acolytes Protection Agency (Faarooq and Bradshaw) for the WWF Tag Team Championship, Eddie Guerrero versus Perry Saturn for the WWF European Championship, Tazz versus Al Snow, and The Hardy Boyz (Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy) and Lita versus T & A (Test and Albert) and Trish Stratus in a mixed tag team match.
