Meat-heads of the world unite and take overas 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 unfairbehaviour of the contestants in WWF King of the Ring 2000.

Presented in a 4:3 ratio, the picture looks very good and is, wisely, in theoriginal 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 orSpanish commentary, is loud and proud as always with these releases. Justinform the neighbours when you start up the disc.

The extras consist of the Battle History section: the WWF King of theRing 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 behindwhy 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 totala little over 15 minutes, but with around three hours of material for yourtwenty pounds, WWF fans won’t complain.

There are no subtitles but all of the menus feature animation in the form ofclips from the show, each with music and some cool metal chain-movementbetween them.
