WWE Summerslam 2000
from Sony
Let's be honest: fans of the WWF love a good soap opera as much as, if not more than, the matches they produce. If that's the case, SummerSlam 2000 must rank as one of the great WWF pay-per-views in the last several years. At the center is the climax of the infamous love triangle that Vince McMahon and his gaggle of writers concocted during the year 2000. The main event here is a triple-threat match for the WWF title, held by the Rock, but really, his presence is secondary to the other two men involved, Triple H and Kurt Angle. For these two men, it's personal, as both are in love with the same woman, Triple H's wife, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. This DVD goes to great lengths to document the history leading up to the match, and it's essential to enjoying the PPV. Also, other histories are included, lending the soap-opera feel to all of the matches. While the tremendous main event is reason enough to buy this DVD, other smaller matches fortify it. For example, you get the boss's son, Shane McMahon, falling 50 feet from a support beam. You get an announcer getting involved in a match and smashing a glass jar in a wrestler's face. Oh yeah, and there's also some impressive old-school wrestling... but, really, who cares about wrestling when you're watching a wrestling match in the WWF? --Dave McCoy
