:sinopse:
The Best of King of the Ring is another steady WWE Blu-ray release that contains a mixture of both SD and HD footage, though certainly the former dominates in this instance, with only the final two matches of disc two appearing in high definition. The SD matches maintain their original television aspect ratios, with static purple curtains serving as the "black bars" framing the material on 1.78:1 displays. The SD footage, as is usually the case with WWE home video releases, holds up very well. It struggles through some fuzziness, aliasing, jagged edges, and the like, but wrestler facial detail holds its own, colors are suitably bright and natural, and the material never seems any worse for wear. The HD footage looks just fine, too. The predominant high definition imagery comes in the form of Booker T's monologues in between some of the matches. There, colors are strong, dominated by his red cape. Fine detail is solid, whether on Booker's face, the texture of his throne, or the construction of the columns around him. Clarity is equally strong, and the image appears, while in motion, stable and relatively free of excess banding, noise, and other image-deteriorating eyesores. The two HD matches look great; detail is strong on the fighters and good clarity and a general sharpness allow even distant audience members to maintain crisp definition. Colors are great, whether Sheamus' red hair and pale white body or the colors of the mat, ropes, or wrestler trunks. This release isn't a showstopper, but it's steady and representative of the quality work that finds its way into the average WWE release.
