Meat-heads of the world unite and take over
as grown men - and women - take to the ring once again for a series of fights,
not until death but until the ref puts a stop to the occasional unfair
behaviour of the contestants in WWF King of the Ring 2000.
I've done several WWF DVD reviews online to date already so you know the drill
by now - and if you don't, there's a summary of those online at the bottom
of this review - so I'll move on swiftly to a breakdown of the DVD's contents.

Presented in a 4:3 ratio, the picture looks very good and is, wisely, in the
original NTSC format instead of converting to PAL and losing quality.
The the average bitrate is a steady 5.45Mb/s, often peaking over 7Mb/s.
The sound, in Dolby Digital 2.0 (Dolby Surround), again offering English or
Spanish commentary, is loud and proud as always with these releases. Just
inform the neighbours when you start up the disc.
The extras consist of the Battle History section: the WWF King of the
Ring wrap-up show, a retrospective of the Hardcore Evening Gown Match,
a History of the Dudley Boyz vs. Road Dogg & X-Pac, plus the reasoning behind
why there is a Six-Man Tag Team Match for the WWF Championship. The
Rise of the King is basically a trailer for the event. These only total
a little over 15 minutes, but with around three hours of material for your
twenty pounds, WWF fans won't complain.
There are no subtitles but all of the menus feature animation in the form of
clips from the show, each with music and some cool metal chain-movement
between them.
