The year 2000 for the WWE, then known as the WWF, will always live on in the memories of those around who watched it. By promoting the best storylines, wrestlers, characters and wrestling in decades, the WWE entered their most profitable period by putting up a solid card for the Royal Rumble 2000, their first pay-per-view event of the year. Held in the world famous Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, the WWE put on what looked like a fabulous card on paper. The festivities kicked off when Kurt Angle laid an open challenge to any opponent. That opponent would be none other than Tazz, a wrestler from the nearby Philadelphia based ECW promotion.

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

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

The Royal Rumble 2000 was one of the hottest pay-per-views of the year. Along with that, it was one of the most brutal, with two top-notch gimmick matches, which I will come to shortly. Beginning with the under card, the Intercontinental championship match and Tag Team championship matches were pretty much forgettable which is the adjective I wished I could use for the Swimsuit competition, as what should have been a fine display of eye candy for the lads turned into an unforgettable experience when 76 year old Mae Young stripped off to exposed what initially looked to be her naked boobs but what was actually prosthesis which she had on top of her. Still, it ...  Read the complete review
