Summary: Royal Rumble 2000 Review
Review: This is a very good buy, made back when WWF was still way on top of things there. Nearly every match was above average. The Tazz vs Kurt Angle match was a nice start for everything. Both the Hardyz vs Dudleyz match and the Cactus Jack vs Triple H matches have to be seen to be believed. Those two were worth the price of the DVD alone. Plus, the Royal Rumble match itself was, as always, entertaining. On top of that, Chris Jericho made his match fun to watch as well (as he usually does). With the exception of the New Age Outlaws vs the Acolytes match, everything on here was fun to see.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Predictable Rumble, but amazing undercard!
Review: Royal Rumble 2000

Angle V Tazz
This was a fairly good opener, and it was Tazz's debuet. The ending was weird, but overall it was ok. 6/10

Table Match Hardys V Dudleys
This match was fantastic. A ladder and quite a few chairs come into play as well as a lot of broken tables! It's high flying and hardcore, with some amazing moves. One of the best matches I've seen as the action never slowed. 10/10

Swimsuit Competiton
The ending is really disgusting, and the whole thing is a joke.

1/10

IC title Jericho V Hardcore Holly V Chyna
This was a good 3 way match, and they use a chair too. Chyna didn't really need to be in it though. 7/10

Tag titles APA V New Age Outlaws
This match was way too short and the end is unfair as X-Pac comes in. The action was ok though. 5/10

Street fight for WWE title Triple H V Cactus Jack
This was an amazing match, even better than the table match from earlier. It's very brutal with lots of weapons including Barbed Wire 2x4, Chairs, Handcuffs, Tacks and bricks! There's plenty of bllod and it's pretty sick. One of my best matches ever. 10/10

Royal Rumble
Only 2 people really had a winning chance in this, Big Show and The Rock. They were the last 2 in the ring - far too predictable! It was still ok though. 7/10

Overall it was a good PPV with 2 Incredible matches (table + street fight). The Rumble itself was a little too predictable and the swimsuot competition was stupid, but overall a great PPV. 4/5

Summary: The Most Action Packed Rumble Ever!
Review: WWF/WWE Royal Rumble 1992 & 2002 are my two favorites but this one rates up there if not surpasses those two!

Kurt Angle Vs. TAZZ - This was TAZZ' debut in WWF after leaving the now defunct ECW and what a debut it was. Kurt Angle pretty much is taken by surprise from the get go and never really recovers. A short but good match.

The Hardy Boyz Vs. The Dudley Boyz (Tag Team Table Match) - The first of several type matches and a prelude of what was to come in the next two years. These four men not only used tables but used ladders and chairs as well! Several high spots in this match in which the Dudleyz first made a mark in the WWF.

Swimsuit Contest - Was hot until Mae Young screwed it up! Just skip this.

New Age Outlaws Vs. Acolytes (WWF Tag Team Championship) - This one was also kept mercifully short and sweet. Still had two good spots especially when Bradshaw hits Billy Gunn with his "clothesline from hell."

Chyna Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Bob "Hardcore" Holly (Triple Threat I-C title match) - This one wasn't that exciting but had its moments.

Cactus Jack Vs. HHH - Street Fight for the WWF Championship: NOW THIS IS HOW YOU DO A HARDCORE MATCH! Very violent and very bloody! I am amazed either man walked away from this one! This is definitely a 5 star match!

30 WWF Royal Rumble Match - Very good pacing. Had some fast and slow spots but it is paced really well. Good watching.

Overall, this is one of the best Royal Rumble's ever!

Summary: Royal Rumble 2000--Fightin' in the Garrrden
Review: From Madison Square Garden, this was an average PPV.

2000 Royal Rumble BREAKDOWN:

Throw the Swimsuit Contest out the door--it was nothing!

Kurt Angle vs Tazz: Short match with Tazz giving Kurt the choke for the win. Angle complains that he's still undefeated--but 8 days later he loses to The Rock--in Pittsburgh on RAW.

Dudleyz vs Hardyz: Excellent tag team table match igniting their rivalry spanning from then until WrestleMania X8.

Intercontinental Championship: Y2J becomes undisputed IC champ in "Madison Square Jericho."

Tag Team Championship: Too short for my taste--the beginning of the end for the New Age Outlaws.

Triple H vs Cactus Jack: THE MATCH of 2000! Only in the Garden could this take place.

Royal Rumble Match: Lame, with the Rock(?) winning in controversial fashion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rumble in the Bronx
Review: The Royal Rumble is always an event I look forward to, and in some respects, is the most exciting PPV event, even more than WM. I for one, think that the 1992 Rumble match was the best Rumble match ever. Although this Rumble match was not quite as good as that match, the event as a whole was unbelievable. From the opening match with a homecoming hero to the Rock and Big Show battling it out for a chance to be in the main event at WM, this event (which I was able to see live on PPV) is one of the 10 best events they have ever done. And a note: good crowd reaction makes a great event, and the crowd was into it the whole night. Here's a look at the matches:
Kurt Angle vs. ????? - well, wrestling fans know that the mystery wrestler was Tazz (and they knew that night as well, chanting his name during Kurt's intro and interview). The match itself was short but it got the event going (interesting ending)
Tag Tables Match - At the time, the Dudleyz were still new to the WWE (in fact, if I'm not mistaken, this was their first major PPV match). The Hardyz were also trying to establish themselves. A rivalry was born. Great match - it kind of set the tone for their ladder match at WM 2000. Unbelievable ending.
Miss Rumble 2000 bikini contest - Entertaining. How can you go wrong with a bikini contest with Ivory (she gets lost in the shuffle, but she's a cutie), Mrs. Lawler (The Kat), BB (aka Mrs. Hardcore Holly), Jackie and Terri? I realize that Luna was there as well ... I'm just trying to forget! The Mae Young appearance was simply comical.
IC triple threat title match: Another short contest, but good action throughout. Sometimes I wonder what happened to Holly, and looking back this is one of his better efforts.
Tag team title match: I was really looking forward to this match (the APA had won a battle royal in December and earned the title shot) and I thought this would be a great match. Instead, it was a brawl with X-Pac getting involved. Perhaps my least favorite match.
Street Fight championship match: All I can say is WOW! I had a feeling it was going to be good; it turned out to be one of those special matches. Bats wrapped in barbed-wire :), tables, chairs, handcuffs, even the ending with the thumbtacks. HHH loves to wrestle at the Garden ... and it showed. Foley was good as well.
Rumble match: Every two minutes someone enters the ring. It led to some interesting moments. As stated earlier, it wasn't the best ever, but still a great Rumble match.
DVD extras: I like the extras which include some background into the Street Fight, aftermath of the Rock-Big Show; HHH getting looked at after the match (including him getting a piece of wood taken out of his leg!) and more.
This was a great event and this DVD is a must have.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A solid Royal Rumble, notable for 3 things...
Review: ... one of those things is the streetfight for the WWF Championship between Cactus Jack and Triple H. Without a doubt, this match was the greatest WWF title match ever(until Benoit vs. Angle in 2003, at yet another Royal Rumble.) To my recollection, this is the best match that Triple H ever wrestled and the best match that Mick Foley had in the WWF, just slightly better than vs. Shawn Michaels, Mind Games 1996. In this match, Cactus gets turned into a litteral pin cussion, Triple H loses and ungodly ammount of blood, and the People's Champ makes a cameo appearance(which, no offense to the greatest entertainer in the history of the business, provided the only sour note.) If you already own this match on either DVD or VHS and you think that you've seen the whole match already and know all there is to know, well, you don't. To get the full story, you have to see the match with commentary in the DVD extras in Triple H: The Game. Little did I know, but Triple H has a hole punctured into his leg. Yeah. Makes you squirm, huh? There is a decent match with Dudleys vs. Hardys, in a Table match.
Oh, the other 2 notable things?
Mae Young's puppies.
