The only other match worth remembering from Armageddon 2000 is Kane vs. Chris Jericho in a Last Man Standing. It's a real shame this is a forgotten classic cause it was a damn fine LMS match. Loved the ending to that match where Jericho knocks a ton of stacked barrels down on Kane, and Kane sticks his hand out inbetween the barrels just a few seconds before the 10 in reference to ending of Carrie.
I must be the only one who remembers The Great Sasuke vs. Taka Michinoku from that PPV. I guess if Sasuke stuck around after that match, and Taka & the Light Heavyweight division were treated better in their later years in the WWF, maybe then people would've remembered it cause it was fuckin' excellent.

It's funny how there currently is a thread in this section about Summerslam 1995 only being remembered for HBK/Razor II, and nobody has yet mentioned it, lol.
Wrestlemania 15 was awful and another example of a PPV being built around one match. The rest of the matches just seemed to be thrown together at the last minute. I really question why Billy Gunn faced Al Snow & Hardcore Holly for the Hardcore Title and why Road Dogg faced Ken Shamrock, Goldust and Val Venis for the IC Title, when Gunn was feuding Shamrock & Val Venis and Road Dogg was feuding with Al the previous month. I know Billy got injured and Road Dogg took his place in an IC Title match on RAW, but Billy came back in time for WM, so there was no need to have them swap feuds.
Starrcade 1997 is another show built around one match, but I think it could've been known for more than just Hogan vs. Sting, if Bret Hart had his debut match here and other main event talent were used better on the card or they didn't drop out of their matches with some bullshit ass excuse or their matches weren't rebooked in the last week. Curt Hennig was originally announced to face Ric Flair in a Steel Cage for the US Title but they should've just booked DDP vs. Curt Hennig in the first place instead of changing that in the last week, and Bret should've faced Flair here instead of at Souled Out. Randy Savage was put in a 6 man tag with Norton & Vincent against The Steiners & Ray Traylor, and Lex Luger was put up against Buff Bagwell, they should've switched that around and had Luger face Savage, and Buff team with Norton & Vincent especially since Bagwell would end up forming a tag team with Norton and they'd feud with the Steiners one month later, and Savage & Luger would go on to face each other also one month later at Souled Out. They could've just booked those two things 1 month in advance. I can't remember what Kevin Nash's excuse was for missing his match with The Giant but he fucked up the show a bit cause that was supposed to be their co-main event. Scott Hall was available though, they could've just had him replace Nash and face The Giant, but instead he had a segment with Giant in the middle of the show and got Chokeslammed. Also can't remember what Raven's excuse was for dropping out of his match but his feud with Benoit should've ended at Starrcade.
Apart from Goldberg, Nash, DDP, Giant & Flair, Starrcade 1998 lacked a lot of other main eventers like Sting, Hogan, Luger, Hall, Savage, Hart. These guys should've been used for matches on the show, and if they had then maybe the show wouldn't have been much of a disaster cause Nash's atrocious booking is the only thing people will ever remember about this PPV.
as well!
