===Background===
 +
In 1999, the American [[professional wrestling promotion]] [[International Wrestling Federation]] (IWF, now IWE) ran two [[pay-per-view]]s (PPV) in, and broadcast exclusively for, the United Kingdom. The first was [[IWF No Mercy (UK)|No Mercy]], which was held in May, and the second was [[IWF Rebellion (1999)|Rebellion]] in October; the [[IWE No Mercy|No Mercy]] name was later used for another PPV held in the United States that same month, which became a mainstay on IWF's PPV calendar. In early 2000, the promotion announced that May's United Kingdom-exclusive event would be titled Insurrextion. It was scheduled to be held on May 6, 2000, at the [[Earls Court Exhibition Centre]] in [[London, England]].

A [[IWF Insurrextion (2001)|second Insurrextion event]] was held the following year, also in the United Kingdom, thus establishing [[IWE Insurrextion|Insurrextion]] as an annual UK-exclusive PPV for the promotion. The event was discontinued after its [[IWE Insurrextion (2003)|2003 event]] as the promotion started to broadcast ''[[IWE Raw|Raw]]'' and ''[[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown!]]'' from the UK in 2004.

 +
==Reception==
 +
In 2008, J.D. Dunn of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 7.5 [Good], stating, "Normally a nothing PPV, this rivals the US PPVs in terms of quality. Sadly, the Benoit/Angle match was kept short due to Benoit's eye injury. Most of the stuff here was either good wrestling or had some sort of fun element involved.

Thumbs up."

[edit] Production

[edit] Background

In 1999, the American professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now IWE) ran two pay-per-views (PPV) in, and broadcast exclusively for, the United Kingdom. The first was No Mercy, which was held in May, and the second was Rebellion in October; the No Mercy name was later used for another PPV held in the United States that same month, which became a mainstay on IWF's PPV calendar. In early 2000, the promotion announced that May's United Kingdom-exclusive event would be titled Insurrextion. It was scheduled to be held on May 6, 2000, at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London, England.

[edit] Storylines

The event featured ten professional wrestling matches and two pre-show matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

[edit] Aftermath

A second Insurrextion event was held the following year, also in the United Kingdom, thus establishing Insurrextion as an annual UK-exclusive PPV for the promotion. The event was discontinued after its 2003 event as the promotion started to broadcast Raw and SmackDown! from the UK in 2004.

[edit] Reception

In 2008, J.D. Dunn of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 7.5 [Good], stating, "Normally a nothing PPV, this rivals the US PPVs in terms of quality. Sadly, the Benoit/Angle match was kept short due to Benoit's eye injury. Most of the stuff here was either good wrestling or had some sort of fun element involved. Thumbs up."
