So, the other day, I got this weird urge, you know? Survivor Series 2000 just popped into my head. No idea why. It just happens sometimes. And when an old wrestling show like that comes to mind, my first thought is usually, “Man, I wonder what Scott Keith wrote about that back in the day.” It’s like a reflex.
The Hunt for Old Rants
So, I did what I always do. Started digging around online. You know how it is, trying to find those specific old reviews. Sometimes they’re buried deep. But I was determined. I wanted to see his take on Survivor Series 2000 again. Took a bit, clicking here and there, but eventually, boom, I found it. His original rant, or review, whatever you wanna call it.
Going Down Memory Lane, Keith-Style
Alright, so I settled in and started reading. And man, it was a trip. It’s like opening a time capsule. Scott Keith, in his classic style, just laying into some stuff, maybe giving a bit of praise here and there, but mostly just calling it as he saw it. I remember reading his stuff religiously back then. And honestly, reading it now, I still find myself nodding along to a lot of his points. Some things just don’t change, I guess.
That Crazy Main Event Finish
I specifically scrolled to find what he said about that whole Austin and Triple H angle. The one with the car. What a completely bonkers way to end a show. I was dying to see his rating for that segment. Reading his breakdown, all the frustration I felt watching it live just came flooding back. It was so over the top, even for the Attitude Era. He probably ripped it to shreds, and I can’t say I blame him.
- I remember thinking, “Are they seriously doing this on a pay-per-view?”
- Then trying to figure out what the heck the storyline logic was.
- His words kinda validated all those “what the…?” moments I had.
The Rest of the Card – Hits and Misses
Then I went through his thoughts on the undercard. That’s always interesting with Keith. He’d pick out some random match and either call it a hidden gem or absolutely bury something you’d completely forgotten about. I skimmed through his match-by-match rundown. Some of it made me laugh, remembering the actual matches. Other parts made me think, “Wow, we really watched some questionable stuff back then.” It’s funny how his star ratings, whether you agreed with them or not, really stick with you. He had a way of making his opinion feel like the opinion.
Why Do I Even Do This?
So, why bother going back and reading these old reviews? Good question. Part of it is definitely nostalgia. Part of it is seeing if my opinions now line up with his, or with mine from back then. It’s almost like checking in with an old friend, one who’s always brutally honest, maybe a bit cynical, but always tells you what he thinks. No sugar-coating.
It’s not like reading his review changes the past. Survivor Series 2000 is what it was. The booking decisions were made. But experiencing it again through his very specific lens, well, it’s a different kind of wrestling history lesson. It’s become a bit of a ritual for me, I guess. Dig up an old Scott Keith rant, relive some of those moments, and then usually have a good chuckle or a good sigh. It’s a way to connect with that era, I suppose, without having to sit through three hours of the actual show again, which, let’s be honest, can be a real slog sometimes. This way is quicker, and often, funnier.
