No Way Out (2000) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which took place on February 27, 2000 at the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut.[1] It was the first event produced under the No Way Out name, although it was preceded in 1998 by an event named No Way Out of Texas. The main event was a Hell in a Cell match, a match where the ring and ringside area was surrounded by a 20-foot-high roofed steel cell between WWF Champion Triple H and Cactus Jack; Triple H won the match to retain his championship. The featured bout on the undercard was a standard wrestling match, also known as a singles match, for a championship match at WrestleMania 2000 in which The Big Show defeated The Rock.
[edit] BackgroundSee also: Professional wrestling The event featured eleven professional wrestling matches with outcomes predetermined by WWF script writers. The matches featured wrestlers portraying their characters in planned storylines that took place before, during and after the event. [edit] Event
Before the event began and aired live on pay-per-view, an episode of Sunday Night Heat, one of WWE's secondary television programs, was taped live. In a singles match, Mosh defeated WWF Light Heavyweight Champion Essa Rios by disqualification. Following that match, in a mixed tag team match, the team of Ivory and Mideon defeated Jacqueline and Funaki[3] [edit] Preliminary matchesAfter Sunday Night Heat, the pay-per-view began with a singles match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship in which Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho defended his title against Kurt Angle. Both Angle and Jericho wrestled inconclusively in the beginning, including an attempt by Jericho to force Angle to submit by applying a single leg Boston crab with knee, a move Jericho dubs the Liontamer, but Angle grabbed the ropes surrounding the ring, which forced Jericho to break the hold. While the referee Earl Hebner was (kayfabe) unconscious, Jericho attempted to hit Angle with a middle rope springboard moonsault (or Lionsault), but was hit in the face with the Intercontinental Championship belt. Angle then covered Jericho for the pinfall, winning the Intercontinental Championship. Following the match, referees White and Hebner argued over the conclusion.[4][5]  The following bout was a tag team match for the WWF Tag Team Championship, where the champions, the New Age Outlaws (the Road Dogg and (Billy Gunn), defended their titles against the Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von). Throughout the match, both teams performed many offensive maneuvers, though The Dudley Boyz were able to gain the upper hand when Bubba Ray struck Billy Gunn with a lead pipe on the outside of the ring, which was followed flapjack and cutter combination on Road Dogg inside the ring, called a Dudley Death Drop (or 3D). Bubba Ray then covered Road Dogg to win the WWF Tag Team Championship for his team.[4][6]  The third contest was Viscera versus Mark Henry in a standard match. Both men wrestled evenly until Mae Young interfered on behalf of Mark Henry. After she distracted Viscera, Mark Henry jumped forward and landed stomach-first across him and then lifted him up and slammed him forward, a move called the World's Strongest Slam. He then pinned Viscera for the win.[4][5] The next match was a tag team match where Edge and Christian faced the Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff), who were escorted by Terri Runnels. Prior to the match, Terri had (kayfabe) hired the Acolytes Protection Agency (Bradshaw and (Faarooq) as protection, and they were at ringside throughout the match. Both teams attempted to gain the advantage throughout the contest, and Edge and Christian ultimately gained it when Terri turned on the Hardy Boyz, pushing Jeff off the top rope as he attempted a move. As Matt questioned her, Christian struck Matt from behind and pinned him for the win. Following his loss, the Hardy Boyz attempted to pull Terri into the ring, but the APA attacked them.[2][4] The fifth contest was a standard match between Tazz and The Big Boss Man. Soon after the match began, Tazz applied a half nelson choke, which Tazz refers to as the Tazzmission, to Boss Man in an attempt to make him submit, but Prince Albert interfered and attacked Tazz, causing a disqualification. As Tazz was the one attacked, the victory was given to him. Following the match, Prince Albert and Boss Man assaulted Tazz in the ring.[4][5] [edit] Main event matchesThe next match was X-Pac, escorted by Tori, versus Kane, escorted by Paul Bearer, in a No Holds Barred match. X-Pac and Kane wrestled extensively on the entrance ramp, and Paul Bearer interfered often, attacking X-Pac. X-Pac gave Kane an X-Factor but he recovered. The match ended when X-Pac dropkicked the steel ring steps into Kane's face and covered him for a pin.[2][4] The seventh match on the card was a six man tag team match where Too Cool (Rikishi, Scotty 2 Hotty, and Grand Master Sexay) faced The Radicalz (Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn). Both teams performed many offensive maneuvers throughout the match, but Too Cool gained the upper hand when Rikishi delivered a seated senton to Malenko. This was followed by a cover for the pin.[4][5]  The featured bout on the undercard was The Big Show versus The Rock for a championship match at WrestleMania 2000. During the match, referee Tim White was (kayfabe) knocked out, and later on he was involved in a fight with fellow referee Earl Hebner. Thus, when Big Show picked the Rock up by the throat and slammed him to the mat (a move called a chokeslam), referee White did not count the pin. Shane McMahon came to officiate the match. The Rock then lifted his opponent up and slammed him into the mat, a move he calls the Rock Bottom, and was attempting to drive his elbow into the Big Show (a move the Rock calls the People's Elbow) when Shane McMahon hit the Rock with a steel chair. The Big show then covered the Rock and got a pin.[2][4] The main event was a Hell in a Cell match for the WWF Championship, in which WWF Champion Triple H defended his championship against Cactus Jack, with the added stipulation that if Jack lost he would have to retire from professional wrestling. The match began inside a structure of metal surrounding the ring and ringside area. Throughout the match, many weapons were employed, such as steel chairs and a 2x4 with barbed wire wrapped around it (the 2x4 was also set on fire later in the match). When the ring steps were repeatedly thrown against the wall of the cell, it tore open and Cactus Jack jumped through it to the outside of the cage. The men fought first on the announcer's table, and later both men wrestled on the top of the cage. While on top of the cell, Cactus Jack attempted to grab Triple H, turn him upside-down, and drive his head into the floor, but the move was reversed and Triple H dropped him on his back. The move broke the cell roof and Cactus Jack fell through to the mat below. After Jack stood up again, Triple H tucked Jack's head between his knees and jumped up to slam his head into the mat, a move Triple H calls a Pedigree. Triple H then covered Cactus Jack for a pin.[4][7] [edit] Results[edit] See also[edit] References
