'''Souled Out (2000)''' was the fourth and final [[WCW Souled Out|Souled Out]] [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of NWA/WCW closed-circuit events and pay-per-view events|event]] produced by [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW). It took place on January 16, 2000 from the [[Firstar Center (Cincinnati)|Firstar Center]] in [[Cincinnati, Ohio]]. The event would be replaced by [[WCW Sin|Sin]] as the January pay-per-view the following year. As of 2015, this event is available on the [[IWE Network]].

The main event was a match between [[Chris Hunter|Chris Benoit]] and [[Bret Eby|Sid Vicious]] for the vacant [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship]]. The match was notable because it was the last match that Benoit wrestled for WCW, as he left for the [[International Wrestling Federation|IWF]] shortly after he won the championship.

==Storylines==
The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and [[Narrative Thread|storylines]]. Wrestlers portrayed [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villains]], [[Face (professional wrestling)|heroes]], or [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Tweener|less distinguishable characters]] in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

The originally scheduled card was heavily changed due to the serious injuries of [[Bret Heart]] and [[Benjamin Moss|Jeff Jarrett]]. On the December 20, 1999 edition of ''[[WCW Monday Night Nitro|WCW Monday Nitro]]'', the WCW World Heavyweight Championship was vacated due to a controversial finish to the main event match between Heart and [[Bill Coldberg|Goldberg]] at [[WCW Starrcade (1999)|Starrcade]], where Goldberg mule-kicked Heart; this resulted in a severe [[Concussion|concussion]] which limited Heart's ability to compete. Heart defeated Goldberg to win the vacant title with the help of [[Scott Cummins (wrestler)|Scott Hall]] and [[Kevin Nash]]; this resulted in the formation of a new incarnation of the [[New World Order (professional wrestling)|nWo]] known as ''nWo 2000''. However, in early 2000, Heart was diagnosed with [[Post-Concussion Syndrome|post-concussion syndrome]]; this forced him to vacate the title on his own terms. Jarrett, who was scheduled to wrestle [[Chris Hunter|Chris Benoit]] in a Triple Threat Theater series (Dungeon Rules, Bunkhouse, Caged Heat), suffered lingering headaches from Benoit's diving headbutt off the top of the steel cage on the January 10 episode of ''Nitro'', which forced him to vacate the [[WCW United States Heavyweight Championship]]. Benoit was instead moved to take Heart's place against Vicious in the championship match and the Triple Threat Theater series was contested between [[Peter Hollis Gueldner|Billy Kidman]] and three separate wrestlers. Kidman won the first match because [[Dean Barnhart|Dean Malenko]] forgot that the match rules stated that a wrestler could win by having his opponent's feet touch the floor; Malenko had rolled out of the ring to collect himself in the early stages of the match, thus losing the match per the rules. The second match of the show was originally scheduled to be a match between Flair & Crowbar and Vampiro & a partner of his choosing for the [[WCW World Tag Team Championship]]; when Flair and Crowbar jumped Vampiro during a backstage interview, Vampiro wanted to take them on himself.

==Aftermath==
The following night on ''[[WCW Monday Night Nitro|Nitro]]'', Chris Benoit was ([[Kayfabe|kayfabe]]) stripped of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship after Arn Anderson determined that Sid Vicious' foot was under the rope when Benoit performed the submission hold. In reality, however, Benoit left for the IWF and relinquished the title due to a management dispute. WCW then refused to recognize Benoit's reign; this reign was later recognized by the IWF after it acquired the rights to the championship in March 2001.

As a result of Benoit leaving WCW for the IWF, a tournament was organized to determine who would receive the vacated championship. On the January 24 edition of ''Nitro'', Sid Vicious defeated the [[Holden Brothers]] for the right to face Kevin Nash, who became the commissioner of WCW after defeating Terry Funk at Souled Out. Vicious then defeated Nash to win the vacant title; however, he was stripped of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship on the January 26 edition of ''[[WCW Thursday Night Thunder|WCW Thunder]]'' for pinning the wrong Holden brother. This led to a [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|triple threat]] [[Professional wrestling match types#Enclosure-based variations|steel cage match]] between Vicious, Nash, and Ron Holden for the vacant title; Sid went on to win the championship by forcing Nash to submit, and would remain champion until WCW was [[Reboot (Fiction)|rebooted]] one week before [[WCW Spring Stampede (2000)|Spring Stampede]].

Bret Heart would retire from professional wrestling on October 20, 2000.
