This ppv still stands up there as one of the better Royal Rumbles; the weak point being the actual rumble itself. - The opener was short but sweet. Its fun to see that Angle was pretty great right from the start, effortlessly riling up the crowd and taking some wild bumps to the outside. Some nice spots like the suplex reversal on the entrance ramp. Tazz did good enough as the debuting unstoppable bad a**, but as history can tell, that one-note character will only get you so far in Vinnie Mac's kingdom. - The Hardyz and the Dudley Boyz stole the show; the action being literally too fast for the cameras to catch at times. A perfectly plotted roller-coaster, with some crazy bumps. The risk factor of Jeff's final plunge is crazy seeing how he not only had to fall but cover enough ground to hit his target. - The whole bikini contest kind of made me chuckle. Jacqueline sure knows how to show her stuff. - The odd couple of Jericho and Chyna squabbled over the IC title, with Hardcore Holly thrown into the mix. Nothing too offensive here. Holly was booked strong. - The Tag Title match was over before I knew it. Blink and you'll miss it. - The WWF Title bout is the other reason to watch this show. Foley's at his manic best, punching Spanish announcers and squealing psychotically as he beats down a bad a** Triple H in his prime. It's really a shame that Foley's main event tenure, and even WWF career ended up being so short, but I guess this is the price of greatness. The pace was the opposite of the table match, yet just as violent, with buckets of blood thrown in for good measure. Nice cameos by the Rock...and a cop. - The 'Rumble was as predictable as the sunrise. Who else was going all the way? Big Show? Kane? Lots of downtime from this who's who of Attitude talent. Fun performances from the New Age Outlaws, Too Cool, The Rock, X-Pac, and the aforementioned big men make this not a total stinker. Not used to seeing the final celebration cut short. Showed that the Rock's road to Wrestlemania would be a lot different than the triumphant journeys of past uber-faces. Overall, I'd say this ppv is worth a look. The WWE in the middle of one of its most exciting and productive eras.

One of the best Royal Rumble's ever. However there were a few flaws.Match one saw the debut of Tazz. His entrance was chilling. He beat Kurt Angle, ending 'The Olympic Hero's' winning streak.Next up Chyna, Hardcore Holly and Chris Jericho do battle in a fine triple threat match for the vacant Intercontinental Championship.Then The APA do battle with The New Age Outlaws in a passable match. APA win by DQ I think when X-Pac runs in.Then Triple H faces off against Cactus Jack in a brutul match up. HHH wins by pedigreeing Jack through thumb tacks.Then we didn't need this, a bikini contest featuring some lovely women like Terri, Jackie and Tori. 85 year old Mae Young comes down and takes her bra off in front of Jerry Lawler. She wins........The the rumble takes place. D'Lo Brown is number one and Grandmaster Sexay is number 2. The Rock wins this by eliminating The Big Show.Overall a solid PPV!

This is a fantastic PPV and the sole reason why I bought it on video was because of the classic matches and memories the event has...well excluding Mae Young, I'm still trying to purge that from memory. First thing the PPV has is the debut of Tazz, which to this day sends a chill down my spine, only if all debuts were like this. The matches themselves ranged from average to classic. The street fight between HHH & Cactus Jack without a shadow of a doubt is great stuff, both men worked damn hard in that match and it shows (the Pedigree onto the thumbtacks still makes me wince). The table match between the Hardy Boyz & the Dudley Boyz is also wonderful to watch, being one of the first table matches I would say this send the benchmark. As for the other matches they are quite good, nothing classic, but still not bad (of course, with a 60+ minute Royal Rumble things have to be chopped up a bit to make time, so the matches are a little short).As for the Royal Rumble itself, there were better. This was a fairly predictable Rumble with Kane, Big Show or Rock being the serious contenders (hell, this was a storyline where these three were in a feud over who was going to win, this made for a weak Rumble).A real waste of time in the show was the Swimsuit Contest, I never liked these because I figured why do something like this when you can have another match in it's place which holds some meaning to the storylines? Of course, the reason I'm so resentful about watching it we got to see Mae Young do a stripping act.ugh, thank God the censors put a giant electronic Censored sign on the screen.8/10Great PPV and worthy of a purchase, the Street Fight and the Table Match gives this PPV a high score. Just be warned that once the Swimsuit Contest starts, hit fast-forward.

WWF is the greatest wrestling federation out there, by far. The year 2000 Royal Rumble was not the best of the year, but it was very good. This PPV was important in many ways. It showed the premiere of Tazz, who ended Kurt Angle's long time winning streak. It had a very memorable first-ever Tag Team Table Match, in which the Hardy Boyz defeated the Dudley Boyz, who are the true masters of tables. Chris Jericho became the undisputed Intercontinental Champion after defeating Chyna and Hardcore Holly. Triple H defended his WWF Title in an excellent "street fight" match against "Cactus Jack" Mick Foley. The Royal Rumble itself, in which 30 wrestlers would compete to be the last one thrown out of the ring, was the best of the night. The Rock won and became the Number One Contendor for the WWF Title and would recieve a title shot at Wrestlemania. The whole PPV was very entertaining and cool. The only bad thing was when Mae Young won the "Miss Rumble" Contest. No one wants to see a near-80 year old woman's breast! *YUCK!* But aside from that, very good.
