WWF - Royal Rumble 2000 (DVD)

Of all the wrestling shows I've watched over the past 15 or so years (I'm not saying I've seen every show from the, just I've seen a fair few) my favourite WWF/WWE one was Royal Rumble 2000. Funnily I've always felt after this Wrestling started to go down hill and it rarely seemed to capture the magic of much of this show, this was also one of the first shows to be caught on British free to air TV (Channel 4). The show started the way it would continue, with high action and great wrestling as it pitted the then unbeaten Olympic Gold Medallist Kurt Angle (a genuine amateur Wrestling star) against a "surprise" opponent. I won't ruin it for those who ...  Read the complete review

As a devoted, and very loyal, fan of the World Wrestling Federation, known more commonly as the WWF, for 11 years, it is fair to say that I have collected a fair amount of WWF merchandise during that time. As I virtually grew up with wrestling, I had it all, you name it. Wrestling Figures (which are now becoming collectors items!), Replica Belts, Mugs, Hats, Bed Duvets, Clocks, Pencil Cases, I won't bore you any more, but you get the idea. Now, the only wrestling-related products I buy are magazines, and, of course, Videos. Over the years I have built up a very respectable collection, of which I am very proud (does that sound sad?!), in all, I have 54 WWF Videos, ...  Read the complete review

Hello, this is Peter Richards bringing you all an 'alternative' review of WWF Royal Rumble 2000, the first PPV of the year and my first ever wrestling PPV and most definitely my favorite. It had everything any wrestling fan would want. ============================================= First Match: Kurt Angle VS Tazz Before the matchup took place Kurt Angle came out and cut a great Heel Promo and got great heat from the crowd. Tazz came out next and got a huge pop from his hometown fans.This was Tazz's first match in the WWF and he looked great, this match had some great suplexes from both men. Makes you wander why Tazz isn't being used ...  Read the complete review

WWF ROYAL RUMBLE 2000 was a highly entertaining pay per view. There were many matches including the Royal Rumble match itself which I will provide, but not the results in case you choose to watch for yourself. INTERCONTINETAL CHAMPIONSHIP - CHRIS JERICHO V CHYNA V BOB HOLLY Jericho and Chyna were joint holders of the title going into the match. I've no idea why Holly was thrown into the mix. Quite a lacklustre encounter and Jericho needed more enthusiasm from his opponents. TAG TEAM TABLES MATCH - THE HARDY BOYZ V THE DUDLEYS The first ever tables match where the winning team had to successfully put both opponents through a table. A ...  Read the complete review

WWE Royal Rumble 2000 was the first pay-per-view event to be broadcasted live on Channel 4 in the UK. It is also the most violent and extreme WWE event, comparable to ECW in many ways. The first match is Kurt Angle VS "A Mystery Opponent" although it was well known by the time of the event that Tazz would be his opponent. The match is short, but entertaining. The aim is achieved: Tazz is put over as a tough guy and Angle as a cry baby (listen to him moan afterwards). Then The Dudley Boyz take on The Hardy Boyz in a brutal Table Match. I say brutal because the chair shots are incredibly stiff and the tables seem to explode on impact. It's ...  Read the complete review
