A highlight of the WWF calendar, Summerslam 2000
brings you all the action from the ring at last year's event including
the Triple Threat Match between Kurt Angle and Triple H taking on defending
WWF champion The Rock, the Hardcore Championship, the TLC Tag Team title match
and, for the first time ever, a Thong Stink Face March between The Kat and
Terri! There's also the sexual tension between all the contestants and
Triple H's missus, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.
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 better than the Mick Foley
DVD because they've left it in the original NTSC format instead of converting
to PAL and losing quality.
The the average bitrate is 5.33Mb/s, often peaking over 7Mb/s.
The sound, in Dolby Digital 2.0 (Dolby Surround), offers only English
commentary, but is loud enough to wake up the neighbours when necessary.
The extras consist of Eight Exclusive Interviews which are more like
brief soundbites (all under a minute each) from the stars such as The Kat,
Undertaker, Edge and Christian. One of "The Beach" adverts is included as
well as A Special Look at "The Beach" TV Ads - a 3-minute featurette.
In the Flash Backs and Xtras sections come several mini-featurettes looking
at the feuds and events leading up to Summerslam 2000 all of which are part
of the overall running time and essential viewing for the discerning WWF fan.
The disc contains 29 chapters in total - 11 for the near-3hr main programme,
plus one each for the featurettes and interviews. There are no subtitles but
all of the menus feature animation and music in the form of clips from the show.
