The DVD features a few major matches between The Rock and major names from 1999 to January 2000. You won't find his matches with Steve Austin on here but you will see how the rivalry between him and Triple H starting to gain some steam.

You get to see a few backstage views of The Rock and how his fans really idolize him. Of course, the pie references are interesting as well. This DVD is jam packed full of The Rock and if you are a Rock fan, this DVD will be an awesome purchase because not only do you get 143 minutes of the electrifying wrestler, you get these special features such as his memorable verbal assaults including the pie references. Not sure if they showed those on television before.

The interviews from the announcers to the wrestlers help the audience gain some insight on the wrestler and if you buy the VHS, you will be missing out on these awesome special features. The sound and video is really good and the special features included are pretty fun to watch. A definite DVD must-see for WWF and The Rock fans.

The first thing that should be known about this particular DVD is that it is not about The Rock's wrestling, nor does it show any of his matches in its entirety. Instead, the 143 minutes of footage is devoted solely to the entertainment aspect of The Rock's character.


From The Rock's interviews, to his catchphrases and feuds with characters like The Undertaker, Triple H, Al Snow, Mankind, and The Big Show, and some clips of him outside of wrestling, such as throwing the opening pitch at a Chicago Cub's game, signing copies of his book "The Rock Says...", or getting a haircut.


This DVD falls somewhere among the likes of Mick Foley's "Hard Knocks and Cheap Pops" DVD, minus the bonus matches. It's filled with some of the most memorable Rock moments during 1999 and parts of early 2000, most having to do with his interviews, catchphrases, and trash talking his opponents. It's not wrestling, but it's pure entertainment, and just like Mick Foley's DVD, it's genuinely hilarious.

I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 50 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this DVD you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each DVD I review has a "Match of the DVD" award somewhere in it.)

The Rock- The People's Champ
Much like many superstar DVDs of this time, you get a feature that goes over a segment of The Rock's career. This DVD however is different than something like WWE - Hell Yeah: Stone Cold's Saga Continues in that it focuses more on The Rock outside of the ring instead of his in-ring feuds and matches. This is a nice change from the other DVDs, but if you aren't into what The Rock is doing on his days off than you're out of luck.

This DVD starts around WWE King Of The Ring 1999 and ends at The Rock's Royal Rumble win at WWE Royal Rumble 2000. In between that you will see The Rock hanging out in Miami: buying clothes, getting his haircut, and talking trash. This is all fairly interesting and you'll enjoying watching it. Other then The Rock hanging out, you will see clips from his feuds with: Triple H, Billy Gunn, Undertaker, and Big Show. You will also get a look at his teaming with Mankind.

The extras consist of 9 Rock segments and 8 Rock interviews. There is a slide show, but it's one of the most useless things they could've added. There are no extra matches. The segments and interviews are really funny though and worth checking out. They aren't enough to pull this DVD above three stars though.

I must have received the wrong dvd. Although, The People's Champ was a good dvd chronicling The Rock, it did not feature Vivica A. Fox or any other actors and the dvd only lasted 90 minutes and not 143 minutes. To those that are unaware, this a wrestling dvd and not a movie.Why someone would portray this as a movie of some sort, I wonder.It's a great dvd featuring,"The Rock,The People's Champ"! Period.

I got this DVD in 2002. At first it was boring but after he started talking trash about other people i started enjoying it.my favorite part was when michael cole was laughing.It was more like a comedy.I already saw that DVD like about 500 times because it was so fun and hilarius.Theres no shadow of a doubt that rock is the most electryfying wrestler ever!

This isn't as recent as the Rock's new video, "Just Bring It", but it certainly is funny! If you are considering starting a wrestling DVD or video collection, then this would be a good addition to it...and it is a must-have for any new or old rock fan...it's got most of the facts: including 'the Rock an Sock connection' with Mankind, and most of the Rock's feuds. Great movie!

This DVD is hilarious! When I first got it, I thought that mabye I should've bought Austin's DVD, but I was wrong.

There are interviews such as 'Jabroni Jackpot' and 'Doughnuts' which are SO funny and you never get tired of them. You can also see how 'fair' The Rock is as a special guest referee in a WWF Championship Match between Triple H & the British Bulldog.

When you watch the DVD about The Rock, you see many things such as The Rock have rivalries with Al Snow to Triple H, and you see Rocky from becoming the Great One to the 2000 Royal Rumble. There could be something after the Rumble, but I don't know since my DVD has a problem during the Rumble.

If you have a few friends who like wrestling, show them this. It's full of laughs and you never get tired of it.

I know a lot of "wrestling purists" and "hardcore fans" like to chip away at The Rock for his "limited wrestling ability" or because that's what they're supposed to do when someone becomes a mainstream success. Well, as The Rock says, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY THINK!!! This DVD highlights why I became a WWF fan again for the first time since the champion was some hulking, balding guy. Who cares if The Rock's signature move is a simple albeit "simply electrifying" elbow drop? The reason he's "The People's Champ" is because he's the coolest, cockiest, funniest, greatest trash-talking athlete to grace us with his presence since Cassius Clay challenged Sonny Liston.

this is a great video on the rock.........had all his main macthes though 99-start of 2000....was very well done with all his promos which was funny as....ive got the tape version not the dvd.....im shore it is 50times better on dvd.honestly in my opion i like the rock video know your role a bit better.probably because i liked him in that cocky atittude. but got nothing against this one...he shows you his shops and where he gets his hair cut...a must get for any rock fans!
