The 2000 '''Rebellion''' was the second annual [[IWE Rebellion|Rebellion]] [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] [[List of IWE pay-per-view events|event]] produced by the American [[Professional wrestling promotion|promotion]], [[IWE|International Wrestling Federation]] (IWF, now IWE). It took place on [[IWF Attitude Era|December 2, 2000]], at the [[Sheffield Arena]] in [[Sheffield|Sheffield, England]]. The event was broadcast exclusively in the United Kingdom.

==Production==
===Background===
In 1999, the American [[professional wrestling promotion]] [[International Wrestling Federation]] (IWF, now IWE) held a [[United Kingdom]]-exclusive [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) titled [[IWF Rebellion (1999)|Rebellion]]. The following year, a second Rebellion PPV was announced to be held on December 2, 2000, at the [[Sheffield Arena]] in [[Sheffield, England]], thus establishing [[IWE Rebellion|Rebellion]] as an annual UK PPV for the promotion.

===Storylines===
The event featured nine [[Mock combat|professional wrestling matches]] and two pre-show matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and [[Narrative thread|storylines]]. Wrestlers portrayed [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villains]], [[Face (professional wrestling)|heroes]], or [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Tweener|less distinguishable characters]] in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Thumbs up."
