No Mercy (2000)

The 2000 No Mercy was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). It was the third No Mercy, and took place on October 22, 2000, at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York.

The main event was a No Disqualification match for the WWF Championship. The Rock defended the title against Kurt Angle. Angle pinned Rock after an Angle Slam to win the title. The other main match was a No Holds Barred Match between the returning Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Rikishi.

The undercard featured Triple H versus Chris Benoit, Hardy Boyz (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) versus Los Conquistadores (Uno and Dos) for the WWF Tag Team Championship, William Regal versus Naked Mideon for the WWF European Championship, Right to Censor (Val Venis and Steven Richards) versus Chyna, and Billy Gunn in a tag team match, Chris Jericho versus X-Pac in a Steel cage match, Acolytes Protection Agency (Bradshaw and Faarooq), and Lita versus T & A (Test and Albert), and Trish Stratus in a six-person mixed tag team match, and a Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) Invitational Tables match.

No Mercy was first held by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) as a United Kingdom-exclusive pay-per-view (PPV) in May 1999. A second No Mercy was then held later that same year in October, but in the United States. A third event was then scheduled to be held on October 22, 2000, at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York. This third event in turn established No Mercy as the annual October PPV for the WWF.

No Mercy featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, and storylines that were played out on Raw is War, and SmackDown!—The World Wrestling Federation's (WWF) television programs. Wrestlers portrayed a villain or a hero as they followed a series of events that built tension, and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Two predominant rivalries heading into No Mercy were created at the same time. The one was between The Rock, and Kurt Angle for the WWF Championship, and the other was between Triple H, and Chris Benoit. At Unforgiven, Triple H defeated Angle in a No Disqualification match, and Rock retained the WWF Championship against Benoit, The Undertaker, and Kane in a Fatal Four-Way match. On the September 28 edition of SmackDown!, Angle, and Benoit defeated Rock, and Triple H in a tag team match.[unreliable source] On the October 2 edition of Raw is War, Benoit helped Angle in defeating Triple H to become the number one contender for the WWF title at No Mercy.[unreliable source] As a result, Triple H, and Benoit began feuding. On the October 9 edition of Raw is War, the WWF Commissioner Mick Foley announced that Triple H would wrestle Benoit at No Mercy.

Another predominant storyline heading into the event was over the attacker of Stone Cold Steve Austin as Austin continued his search for his attacker at Survivor Series. On the October 9 episode of Raw is War, Rikishi revealed that he had run down Austin with the car in the parking lot, and he did it for The Rock; because WWF always held back the Samoans.[unreliable source] On the October 12 episode of SmackDown!, Commissioner Mick Foley announced that Austin and Rikishi would wrestle in a No Holds Barred match at No Mercy.[unreliable source]

At Unforgiven, Hardy Boyz (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) defeated Edge and Christian in a Steel Cage match to win the WWF Tag Team Championship. The next night on Raw is War, Hardy Boyz defeated Edge and Christian in a Ladder match to retain the titles and the WWF Commissioner Mick Foley had stipulated before the match that it would be Edge and Christian's last title shot if they lost.[unreliable source] On the October 9 episode of Raw is War, Edge and Christian interfered under the disguise of Los Conquistadores in Hardy Boyz' Tag Team Championship defense against Tazz and Raven but failed in preventing Hardy Boyz from winning the match. A week later on SmackDown!, Los Conquistadores won a tag team Battle Royal, last eliminating Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) to become the number one contenders for the Tag Team Championship at No Mercy.[unreliable source]
