The Best Wrestling Match Ever!!!
The WWF Royal Rumble 2000 is one of the best events ever.

My favourite match of the event was the WWF Championship Street Fight between Cactus Jack and Triple H. This match had everything - barbed-wire, thumb tacks (or pins as they call it in England), blood, etc. Triple H was left in a bloody mess, bleeding like a horse, from ear to ear, from limb to limb, as the commentator put it! Cactus Jack teared apart Triple H's skin and made him scream!!

Tazz's debut match with Kurt Angle was very entertaining and the Tables, Ladders and Chairs match was also good.

The 30-man rumble match wasn't as good as the street fight, but it was nevertheless good to watch.

It is a shame that they are not manufacturing this title anymore on DVD because the WWF ceased trading in that name and now uses the name WWE.

But I have the event on DVD and I can sell it to anybody who wants a copy.

To conclude, the Royal Rumble 2000 WWF Championship Street Fight between Cactus Jack and Triple H is probably the best wrestling match ever, in line with the WWF King of the Ring 1998 fight between Mankind and Undertaker.

All wrestling fans who have not seen the street fight MUST see it - and I mean it!!! It will leave you shocked and vying for more!!

The High Point Of Attitude
This was the first WWF Royal Rumble that I ever watched, and I've been hooked ever since. Years later it still appeals to me as the card that put the mystique behind a legend and broke it down at the feet of a superior opponent, and stunned the crowd as the fan favourite overcame the odds and toppled a giant.

The undercard, admittedly, is nothing special. It's a joke that the useless and highly overrated team of Billy Gunn and Road Dogg defend the World Tag Team Titles against the equally hopeless duo of Farooq and Bradshaw (God knows why he's in main events these days) while the red hot teams of The Dudleyz and The Hardyz wage belt-less war against each other in the first ever (and WWF's best) tables match.

Kurt Angle and Taz assemble a worthwhile and historic contest. As Angle would point out, the fact that it was his first ever loss in the company is far more noteworthy than "The Human Suplex Machine's" Federation debut. The match is short, but exciting.

The Miss Rumble Swimsuit competition is played for laughs, and fails to deliver. Who the Federation were trying to impress with the Mark Henry/Mae Young paring is anyone's guess, and the judges are made out to be dirty old men.

The card really picks up with the WWF Championship match. Mick Foley limps through his best match in years and plays a very sadistic, heel-like Cactus Jack, which is reminiscent of his ECW days. Miles away from the fun loving and slightly weird Mankind, Cactus is a veritable psycho in the ring, and Foley wrestles Triple H as though he would The Rock or any other babyface. Hunter's acting in this is impressive; the sadist that is Triple H really seems to have met his match in this encounter, and is suitably stunned by the onslaught of Jack's assaults.

The match builds to a frightening conclusion: for once, Triple H is unable to defeat an opponent with one Pedigree and must resort to another one, driving Foley's face into a carpet of thumb-tacks. This match was superior to their following Hell In A Cell at No Way Out and signalled the beginning of the end of one courageous combatant's storied career and the start of a reign of dominance for the heel that would help carry the company for the next four years (whether that's a good or bad thing considering Paul Levesque's backstage politics I'll leave up to you to decide).

Finally we come to the Rumble match itself. Although not warranting as much critical acclaim as its predecessor this was a worthwhile match, but it struggles to hold the fans attention until the unleashing of the big guns.

As utterly useless as the Big Show is, he's perfectly built for this type of match and displayed his admittedly impressive strength to dominate large portions of the Rumble. The increasingly erratic X-Pac pulled an Austin by re-entering himself after prior elimination and stunned the crowd by taking Kane out of the match, before being promptly ejected by The Show, leaving The Rock and the big man to battle it out for the Wrestlemania main event spot (for the record, both competed in the rather disappointing 'Mania 16 top match). Just as it looked like lights out for Rocky, The People's Champ managed to hold onto the middle rope as he was going over, sending The Big Show tumbling out of the ring thanks to his own sizable momentum.

Not a card for the ages then, but with one classic match and the backing of one hell of a drama. One legend falls, another beats the odds.

Street Fight
I love all royal rumbles but this has to go down in history as the best. First of all HHH vs Cactus Jack in a street fight one of the best fights of all time with lots of wrestling lots of weapons and yes lots of fun-tacs and barb wire. Also The Hardyz vs The Dudleyz this wasn't for the tag titles but both teams put there bodies on the line in a awesome match-up. Also an amazing royal rumble which featured the rock, the big show, kane and x-pac. Other fights include the debut of tazz vs the unbeaten kurt angle, the intercontinental match with Y2J vs Chyna vs Hardcore Holly and finally the Miss Royal Rumble 2000 bikini contest which featured The kat ,terri and BB Bush
