Length: 6.5 hrs (6 DVD)

RINGS KING OF KINGS '99 BLOCK A - 10/28/99 (The first of three shows that make up the full 
	King of Kings '99 tournament.  This really was the first major MMA tournament of the modern
	era, even before Pride's GP.  I have DVDs straight from the ultra-rare comm. VHS set, so
	VQ is perfect throughout.)

	Labozonov Ahrmed vs Lee Hasdell
	Renato Babalu vs Grom Zaza
	Allister Overeem vs Yuri Kotchkine
	Antonio Nogueira vs Valentijn Overeem
	Jeremy Horn vs Hiromitsu Kanehara
	Dan Handerson vs Gogidtze Bakouri
	Jastin McCully vs Mikhail Ilioukhine
	Brad Kohler vs Yoshihisa Yamamoto (Kohler is led to the ring by Road Warrior Animal!)
	Lee Hasdell vs Renato Babalu
	Icuri Kotchkine vs Antonio Nogueira
	Hiromitsu Kanehara vs Dan Henderson
	Brad Kohler vs Mikhail Ilioukhine


RINGS KING OF KINGS '99 BLOCK B - 12/22/99 (Better show than Block A)
	
	Castello Branco vs Andre Kopylev (Kopylev scores the kneebar in just 16 seconds!)
	Tyrone Roberts vs Ricardo Fyeet (This Fyeet guy is a turd, trying to intimidate 
		people, etc.  He backs it up, though, with a HUGE one-kick KO to start the second round)
	Brandon Lee Hinkle vs Maurice Smith (Really bad decision in favor of Smith that Smith 
		himself doesn't even agree with)
	Renzo Gracie vs Wataru Sakata
	Gilbert Yvel vs Bitsadze Tariel
	Christopher Haseman vs Tsuyoshi Kohsaka
	Tim Lajcik vs Borislav Jeliazkov
	Kiyoshi Tamura vs Dave Menne
	Andre Kopylev vs Ricardo Fyeet (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA - Fyeet the Turd gets submitted in *8*
 		seconds as Kopylev follows up his incredible 1st round win with an even more impressive
		victory!)
	Renzo Gracie vs Maurice Smith
	Gilbert Yvel vs Tsuyoshi Kohsaka 
	Kiyoshi Tamura vs Borislav Jeliazkov


RINGS KING OF KINGS '99 FINALS - 2/26/00 (Excellent show)

	Renato Babalu vs Mikhail Ilioukine (Early in the match, Babalu throws Mikhail over the 
		top rope!)
	Gilbert Yvel vs Dan Henderson (Yvel is a moron - he gets two yellow cards in this match,
 		costing him a close one...)
	Andre Kopylev vs Antonio Nogueira
	Kiyoshi Tamura vs Renzo Gracie (Excellent match that sees the first-ever Gracie MMA loss)
	Bobby Hoffman vs Grom Zaza
	Dan Henderson vs Antonio Nogueira (Pretty darn questionable decision)
	Kiyoshi Tamura vs Renato Babalu 
	Brad Kohler vs Christopher Haseman (A fight almost breaks out after the match as Haseman
 		forces Kohler to tap out.  However, Haseman ignores the ref's instructions and doesn't
		break.  Kohler, naturally, is quite pissed and starts kicking at Haseman after he gets
 		off the mat.  Haseman claims he wasn't told to stop, to which Kohler - correctly -
		responds "he said it four times, dickhead!")
	Dan Henderson vs Renato Babalu (Finals)
