I find it very interesting that most of the reviews here where posted way before the DVD was even released, and speak only about the what was broadcasted on TV. Seems like someone's trying to jump the gun just to get their name on the Internet.

I agree that the show it self did not live to its expectations. But any WWE fan would love to have this DVD simply because of all the EXTRA footage included. Not to mention that lame or not, the actual event will gain nostalgic value as we look back a few years from now. Here are ALL of the extras:

From 1985 through 1992, WWE fans turned to NBC (and then Fox) for some of the biggest matches of the year. While WWE's syndicated programming displayed WWE Superstars easily dispatching overmatched opponents, fans had to turn to PPV events for the settling of major scores - until SNME. For the first time since the 1950s, professional wresting returned to network television and scored huge ratings.

WWE: Hell in a Cell (2008) Review

WWE: Hell in a Cell (2008)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Hell in a Cell has been called the most dangerous match in the WWE since its debut in 1997. The cell has definitely shorten and ended not only susperstars's careers but also referees and managers. This 3 disc set shows you the best remembered Hell in the Cell Matches over the past 10 years of it's exsistence. If you have seen the Ladder Match DVD set then you will really love this set as well. This set is just as good as the Ladder Match 3 disc set is.
Mick Foley hosts the presentation and he starts off the program by giving a brief back story on why and how the Hell in a Cell Match came to be. The Hell In A Cell Matches that are not included in this set are Undertaker Vs. Big Bossman from Wrestlemania XV, Kennel in a Cell Match: Al Snow Vs. Big Bossman from Unforgiven 1999, & Undertaker Vs. Edge from SummerSlam 2008.
Bad Blood (October 5, 1997)
Undertaker Vs. European Champion Shawn Michaels - In the HIAC's debut match, Michaels and Undertaker sets the bar for future HIAC matches to come. Undertaker just really dominates HBK for mostly all the match. Once the two made their way out of the cell, Undertaker and Michaels would just fight each other around and on top of the cell. Michaels soon falls from the side of the cage & through the announce table after trying to escape from the Underaker. After Kane makes his debut and Tombstones the Undertaker, HBK becomes victorious in the first Hell In A Cell Match. This match is something to see if already haven't. 5/5
Raw (June 15, 1998)
Kane & Mankind w/ Paul Bearer Vs. WWE Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin & Undertaker - This was more of a segment than anything else. Stone Cold leads Mankind and Kane outside the cell to leave the Undertaker and Paul Bearer all alone inside the locked structure. Inside the locked structure, Undertaker just beats the holy hell out of a bloody Paul Bearer while leaving Stone Cold fighting Kane and Mankind on the outside. Kane trys to climb the cell to get in before Austin meets him up there. They do not show us the after math once Raw went off the air and it aint really worth rating.
King Of The Ring (June 28, 1998)
Undertaker Vs. Mankind - This is probably the most known and memorable Hell in a Cell match of all-time and mainly because of Mankind being thrown off the cell. After being chokeslammed and thrown off the cell, Mankind and Undertaker delivers a pretty brutal match. Thumb tacks, steel steps, and chairs all gets involved. After being chokslammed onto thumb tacks, Undertaker Tombstones Mankind to pick up his first ever Hell In A Cell victory. Foley certainly gets a well deserved standing ovation after the match. 5/5
Raw (August 24, 1998)
Mankind Vs. Kane - Just like the match from King Of The Ring, Kane and Mankind starts this match off on the outside where Foley gets beaten up by both Kane and the Undertaker and also falls from the cell through the announce table. Kane and Mankind both takes some hard chair shots to the head. Thumb tacks also gets brought into this match. After Stone Cold Steve Austin interferes from under the ring, the match gets stopped. A match that's worth a watch. 4/5
No Way Out (February 27, 2000)
WWE Champion Triple H Vs. Cactus Jack - Not only was this match for HHH's WWE Title but Mick Foley's career was also in jeopardy if Mick Foley lost this match. The match itself was just as brutal and punishable as Foley's & HHH's Street Fight was from the Royal Rumble a month earlier. After Foley and the Game got out of the cell, the match would only get more violent around and on top of the cell. After once again falling from the cell and through the announce table, Foley brings out his famous barbed wire 2x4 and sets it on fire. After setting the 2x4 on fire, Foley gets backdropped through the cell and crashes through the ring followed by a Pedigree from HHH. Just like from the KOTR, Mick Foley gets a well deserved ovation after the match. And for the trivia buffs out there this is the first Hell in a Cell match where a WWE Title was defended in. 5/5
Armageddon (December 20, 2000)
Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs. WWE Champion Kurt Angle Vs. Triple H Vs. The Rock Vs. Rikishi Vs. The Undertaker - This has to be the wildest, craziest, & most action packed HIAC match of all time. There is action everywhere in this match. McMahon comes out and frees everybody from the cell and then all hell breaks loose everywhere. We even see a Wrestlemania X-Seven preview from Austin and the Rock. This was just a huge and tremendous match. Awesome Hell in a Cell match. 5/5
Judgment Day (May 19, 2002)
Triple H Vs. Chris Jericho - HHH and Jericho by far made up for their lousy match they had at Wrestlemania X8. Jericho takes one of the most brutal beatings ever inside a Hell in the Cell Match. Jericho tried to be tough but I think the cell got to him in this match. A ladder gets briefly used along with a steel chair, ring steps, & a sledgehammer. After being let loose, Triple H & Jericho battles all around the cell and soon make their way on top where HHH brings up with him a barbed wire 2x4. The match ends on top of the cell after Jericho gets Pedigreed by HHH. Watch out for Tim White getting up close and personal to the cell. 4.5/5
No Mercy (October 20, 2002)
WWE Champion Brock Lesnar Vs. Undertaker - Get ready to see a bloodbath because that is exactly what this HIAC Match is. Undertaker & Brock Lesnar shows everybody how violent & sedistic a Hell in the Cell Match can be. Just as brutal and sedistic fighting only inside the cell and not out. Undertaker bleed buckets in this match. Lesnar & Undertaker both uses the cell and other things around them very effectively on each other. Possibably the best Hell In A Cell Match in history. 5/5
Bad Blood (June 15, 2003)
Kevin Nash Vs. World Heavyweight Champion Triple H - Kevin Nash wasn't really getting over with the fans as WWE thought he would so they brought in Mick Foley to be the Special Guest Referee for this HIAC match. This isn't as bad as people say it is. I felt this HIAC is very violent and brutal. All men bleeds in this one including Foley. Not the best Hell in a Cell Match but definitely not the worst. 4/5
Bad Blood (June 13, 2004)
Triple H Vs. Shawn Michaels - You better get ready to take a deep seat because Michaels and HHH tears each other to shreds for nearly one hour in the sedistic Hell In a Cell. HBK and HHH both takes a lot of punishment and a bloody beating from each other. This was a fantastic way to end this feud. Arguably the best Hell in a Cell match ever. This match was just off the charts. 5/5
Vengeance (June 26, 2005)
World Heavyweight Champion Batista Vs. Triple H - HHH and Batista told anincredible story here in this HIAC match. HHH is a guy that brings out the best in Batista and HHH did an fantastic job here in doing so. Everything you expect in a Hell in the Cell match and more takes place. Batista gets very physical in this match. He uses everything HHH brings out against him and more. This is a sedistic match where HHH has to take time off from afterwards. This HIAC match could also be the best ever. 5/5
Armageddon (December 18, 2005)
Undertaker Vs. Randy Orton - Other reviewers point out that this HIAC match resembles more of a No Holds Barred than a true Hell in the Cell Match but I disagree with that. Undertaker and Orton provided the fans a sedistic and a very harsh match to watch. A lot of physicality is apart of this HIAC match. Orton pulls off some impressive counters to the Undertaker. Orton also takes one of the most vicious beatings from the Deadman along with two of the most hardest steel chair shots I have ever seen. A table gets introduced as well and so does some steel steps in this match. The interference from Bob Orton wasn't really needed but I felt this Hell in a Cell match was great. Another big time HIAC match. 5/5
Unforgiven (September 17, 2006)
Triple H & Shawn Michaels Vs. Vince, Shane McMahon, & ECW Champion Big Show - A new Hell In A Cell structure was introduced for this match. Great usage with the cell and the weapons that were used such as a sledgehammer & steel chairs are used very effectively in this HIAC match. It has a vicious and sickening ending with HHH breaking a sledgehammer on the back on Mr. McMahon. This is another hellacious match. 5/5
Survivor Series (November 18, 2007)
Undertaker Vs. World Heavyweight Champion Batista - The new amplified version of the Hell In A Cell continued here as the Undertaker & Batista ended their nealry year long feud. Undertaker is another guy that brings out the best in Batista and this was a tremendous match. Not a whole lot of weapons used but the ones that were, Undertaker & Batista uses them very effectively. They could have used the cell more but it was still good. The ending and the post-match beat down from Edge is something to check out and it really added more to the match. 5/5
Hell In A Cell is called the Devil's Structure and every match from this set displays why. This is an awesome set to add to your collection and is HIGHLY recommended.

WWE - Rey Mysterio: The Biggest Little Man (2007) Review

WWE - Rey Mysterio: The Biggest Little Man (2007)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In a span of over a decade, Rey Mysterio has become one of the wrestlers in the world to make the statement of "size doesn't matter" so true. He's become one of the most popular wrestlers of this generation & the heart he shows in & out in the ring has made his go past the level of success that other "crusierweight" wrestlers have achieved. Just like Hulk Hogan's DVD sets , you got your profile on the "619" DVD so not you get his anthology of matches on this one with comments from Rey throught the set.
When World's Collide '94 - Latin Lover, Heavy Metal, & Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Madonna's Boyfriend, Fuerza Guerrera, Psicosis - A great display of how AAA wrestling down in Mexico is done as you can get a glimpse of Rey early in his career.
(Also available on Rey Mysterio "619")
ECW 9/95: vs. Psicosis - This was their ECW debuts against each other. They mixed the classic lucha libre/crusierweight style with a mix of extreme action to create a different type of action never seen before in ECW & american...to the point that it caught Eric Bischoff's attention in WCW.
(Also available on "ECW: Path Of Destruction")
ECW 2/96: vs. Juventud Guerrera - This ISN'T the match that Heyman talked about on the "Rise & Fall Of ECW" as this was a very short match & not their best ECW "extreme lucha" performance. If you want the best one, check out the "ECW: Hardcore History" DVD.
Great American Bash '96: vs. Crusierweight Champion Dean Malenko - This was the match that put Mysterio & WCW's crusierweight division on the map in the United States. Malenko's groundbased style mixed perfectly with Rey's lucha libre to put on the first crusierweight classic match since the Pillman/Liger series 5 years earlier.
(Also available on Rey Mysterio "619")
Nitro 7/'96: vs. Crusierweight Champion Dean Malenko - Very similar to the previous match except it was shorter & Rey got his first crusierweight championship win.
(Also available on Rey Mysterio "619")
Hog Wild '96: WCW Cruiserweight Title vs. Ultimate Dragon - This was a match where they kept trying to outdo each other by doing the same moves to each other at various times. This was more of a ground based match as the high flyin' didn't come into effect into the end.
Fall Brawl '96: WCW Cruiserweight Title vs. Super Calo - Before I get started, I love Calo's mask with the hat & sunglasses in. They kept going back & forth between the two rings that were setup for the War Games later in the night. Check out the West Coast Pop from one ring to the next which hasn't been seen since the days of Brian Pillman
Halloween Havoc '96: WCW Cruiserweight Title vs. Dean Malenko - This was my favorite match from their series of matches in WCW & one of the greatest crusierweight matches in WCW. They were fast paced & very intense.
Starrcade '06: vs. Jushin Thunder Liger - Very similar to the Ultimate Dragon match earlier where there was a heavy focus on mat wrestling as opposed to high flyin'.
Spring Stampede '97: vs. Ultimate Dragon - This was more fast paced & impactful than their previous match with Dragon working a stiffer style with suplexes, slams, and kicks while Mysterio still did his airal based offense.Halloween Havoc '97: Mask vs. Title Match vs. WCW Cruiserweight Champion Eddie Guerrero - Most peopel concider this the best match in WCW crusierweight history. The storytelling here was right on point with Eddie going after Rey's mask from time to time while showcasing the high flyin' & ground based lucha libre style. Classic match, no questions asked.
(Also available on Rey Mysterio "619" & "Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story")
World War 3 '97: vs. WCW Cruiserweight Champion Eddie Guerrero - Ranks right up there with their previous encounter but is always overshadowed by the previous match.
Thunder 1/98: vs. WCW Cruiserweight Champion Juventud Guerrera - This is the first WCW Thunder match on DVD. Mysterio wins the title once again in possibly his best match against Juvi in WCW.
Souled Out '98: WCW Cruiserweight Title vs. Chris Jericho - This was at the beginning of Jericho turning heel & showing what he's capable as an entertainer. These two meshed well & gave the best performance of this PPV event with Mysterio's knee being worked on thoughout the match.
Road Wild '98: vs. Psychosis - This was a big slow at times to where you hear a couple of "boring" chants from the crowd. Just an average encounter between these two. I would have prefered their "One Night Stand" match more than this one.
Nitro 2/99: vs. Blitzkreig - Blitzkreig was a wrestler who was actually quicker than Rey but has the same type of offense as Rey. High flyin', high risk, and high impact moves here. One of Rey's last matches in WCW with his mask on.
SmackDown 7/02: vs. Chavo Guerrero - Mysterio's WWE debut. Chavo just being a body for Mysterio to showcase what he can do against with Chavo getting a few a few moves in here & there.
(Also available on Rey Mysterio "619")
SummerSlam '02: vs. Kurt Angle - This was completely off the hook and went past the call of duty of being a match to get the crowd hooked. This was fast paced & high impact with Mysterio & Angle giving you everything from technical to lucha wrestling. Awesome opener & if you watched Mysterio's "619" DVD, there is a funny story behind the opening of this match.
SmackDown 6/03 - vs. Crusierweight Champion Matt Hardy - I was at this match live & I can tell you that this was one of the best crusierweight matches in the history of WWE. This is the only time I can remember the Crusierweight Title main eventing SmackDown & with the fued having so much buildup as it had. Hardy showcased why he was so underrated at the time while Mysterio wouldn't give up with his bad leg & eventually the title.
SmackDown 1/04: vs. Crusierweight Champion Tajiri - Good back & forth match with Tajiri working on Rey's leg along with using interfearence from Sakota & Akio a.k.a. Jimmy Wang Yang. Mysterio wins the Crusierweight Title once again.
Great American Bash '04: WWE Cruiserweight Title vs. Chavo Guerrero - These two rarely disappoint in their encounters & this was no exception as eventhough WWE was starting to "ground" the crusierweights at this time, they still put on a performance that show the show at this PPV.
No Way Out '05 - w/Eddie Guerrero vs. WWE Tag Team Champions The Bashams - All four men worked well together here & with Eddie pulling off his "lying, cheating, and stealing" towards the end, this was a very entertaining match.
Judgment Day '05: vs. Eddie Guerrero - Another great match between these two with nice in-ring storytelling. This is the best Eddie has ever been as a heel. One of the top matches from their series.
Eddie Guerrero Tribute Show: vs. HBK - Unfortunally, it took Eddie passing away for this dream match to happen. Both men had similar styles & it was a very memorable match with Shawn working with someone who was alot smaller than him which is a rare in itself.
WM22: vs. World Champion Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton - Let me summerize this, Kurt Angle DOMINATES the whole match with the other two occassionally getting some spots in before Kurt is knocked outside the ring & Mysterio scores a quick pin on Orton. It's nonstop action for those 9 mins but it was disappointing for a World Title Match at WrestleMania.
Judgment Day '06: World Heavyweight Title vs. J.B.L. - This match was a step below their match months ago at No Mercy because throughout Mysterio's whole title reign, he was booked as the underdog because of his size instead of being able to hold his own. JBL dominated the match with Mysterio making the big comeback.
No Mercy '06: Falls Count Anywhere Match vs. Chavo Guerrero - This was more of an entertaining match than a wrestling match because they mostly brawled all over the arena which is something you rarely (if ever) see them do. But the only downfall was that it was the same type of brawl you see from everyone else when they go into the crowd but it wasn't bad.
SmackDown 10/06: I Quit Match vs. Chavo Guerrero - Very similar to their pervious match in that they stuck to more of a brawling style in this match and didn't fight all over the arena. If you liked their previous match, you'll like this one as well.
The only negative is that some of the matches get repetative but besides that, I recommend this one for sure.

(More customer reviews)
Cyber Sunday kicks off the event with a WWE.com exclusive Cyber Sunday Preview match between Shelton Benjamin and his opponent voted in by the WWE fans who is R-Truth.The match was too short but I liked it because it was free unlike the rest of the Pay-Per-View.Any it was an exciting match for the United States Championship.Shelton Benjamin wins and retains the title.I give this match a 7 out of 10.
The first official match was a No Holds Barred match as voted in by WWE fans between Rey Mysterio and Kane.This was a very entertaining match and Rey shows everybody escpecially Kane how he is not dead.Rey wins.7 out of 10.
The second match was for the ECW Championship between the champ Matt Hardy and as voted in by the WWE fans Evan Bourne.A great match no one knew who was going to win but the experience difference took part in the decison.Matt Hardy wins and retains the ECW title.Matt after the match said that anytime Evan wants a rematch he has it.But that wont be happening soon because Evan is out with an injury.Great match.7.8 out of 10.
The third match as voted by the WWE fans Miz and Morrison vs Cryme Tyme.I didn't care for this.Miz and Morrison win.6 out of 10.
The fourth match was between Santino and as voted in by the WWE fans the Honky Tonk Man for the Intercontinental Championship.Stupid match.Honky wins by disqualification.3 out of 10.
The fifth match was between The Undertaker and Big Show in a Last Man Standing match as voted in by the WWE fans.A great match.There were spots where I thought 'Taker was done for but he came back and won.8 out of 10.
The sixth match was Triple H faced off against whoever the WWE fans chose with that man being Jeff Hardy for the WWE Championship.A great match.There were spots where I thought Jeff was going to win but once again he is one step away.Very good match.8 out of 10.
The seventh match and the main event was between Chris Jericho and 'The Animal' Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship with the special referee being Stone Cold Steve Austin as voted in by the WWE fans.It was a fun match to watch with the other referee choices getting involved but Batista was able to beat Jericho even though Jericho hit Batista with the World Title belt.Batista finally wins the World Heavyweight Championship he has tried to win back for almost a year.A stellar main event.8.5 out of 10.
This years Cyber Sunday is by far the best one yet.Every match was decided by the WWE fans whether it was opponents,match types,or special guest referee this event lives up to its expectations.8 out of 10 overall.

WWE: Greatest Stars of the '90s (2009) Review

WWE: Greatest Stars of the '90s (2009)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you purchased WWE Greatest Wrestling Stars of the 80s and were disappointed with the profiles and match selections on that disc, WWE redeems themselves with the sequel that focuses on the best of the '90s.
First, the main thing that surprised me about this set was how strong they put over Sting. Sting is currently the world champion of their competition, the dreadful TNA promotion, yet they gave him his due on this release. When you open the 3-disc set up your eyes are drawn to a giant image of Sting on one of the DVD art panels. WWE talent and announcers really talk positively about Sting also and do nothing to make the champion of their rival look bad, very surprising indeed.
OK, on with the rest. Disc one is a 3 hour documentary that focuses on who the WWE considers to be the biggest wrestling stars of the '90s, which is without question the greatest decade in the history of the sport. The recently departed Tazz hosts the documentary and introduces each segment that chronicles each wrestler's career from it's beginning thru 1999. All the major players are covered: The Rock, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Sting, Ric Flair, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Yokozuna, Triple H, Bret Hart, Lex Luger, Owen Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
The WWE saves Austin for last and Vince himself puts Austin over, and rightfully so, as the greatest star ever in the company. Some may think Bret, Shawn or the Rock are the greatest from '90s, and they're entitled to their opinion, but it's hard to argue with record setting PPV buys, ticket sales and merchandise sales that Austin achieved in the '90s. He's the best, and it's nice to see the company acknowledge it.
If I had to guess, I would say about 40% of the interviews in the documentary are from previous releases, but we do get some new comments from a few guys, most notably from CM Punk (see his comments concerning Lex Luger, he nailed him!). Each wrestler is covered nicely with what they accomplished in the '90s taking center stage.
WWE is famous for taking shots at people in their documentaries, but they really didn't bury anyone here. There are some subtle shots of note though. The most obvious one to me is how during Mick Foley's segment, they showed footage from his "This is Your Life" segment with the Rock from Raw, but failed to say how it was the highest rated segment in the history of Raw, an achievement they've always acknowledged in the past. That was interesting. Also, they take a few digs at Luger, they're fair digs though in my opinion, about how he may have been the total package, but never reached his full potential.
My only complaint with the documentary is that they included Owen Hart and left out a talent like Big Van Vader. I'm sorry, but as nice a guy as Owen was, he was not a main eventer or big draw during his career. Was he good and talented in the ring? Absolutely. Should he be called one of the greatest of the '90s, I don't think so. I would've replaced Owen with Vader. Vader dominated the '90s as a monster heel champion in WCW that helped WCW during a very dismal time in their history. His matches with Cactus Jack, Sting, Ron Simmons and Ric Flair are classics and it would've been nice to see his career highlighted here. That's my only complaint, otherwise it's a very entertaining trip down memory lane. They show a lot of clips and parts of promos during each wrestler's segment that I had forgot about, so there's some great stuff here.
Now, for the match selection. There are some great matches on this set. First, WWE has finally released Flair vs. Hogan from '91 at Madison Square Garden. This feud was going to headline WrestleMania VIII, but Vince scrapped the match after he wasn't impressed with the in-ring work, or the box office results (which I think was unfair because those matches took place during the first steroid scandal and a lot of fans were turning away at this point) from their series of bouts. I have to disagree, this match between Flair and Hogan is great! I never thought Hogan and Flair had good matches in WCW, but they have a pretty good bout here in WWF. It's well worth a look.
Vader is well represented in the match department with a forgotten classic against Sting at Slamboree '94 for the International World Title. For me, this match was worth the price of the set alone.
Other matches of note include: Diesel vs. Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title from WWF Superstars (you always knew there was going to be a title change when the belt was defended on Superstars!), Diesel and Shawn vs Yokozuna and Bulldog with all titles on the line from In Your House '95 (great tag match), Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels from Survivor Series '92, Austin vs Undertaker from SummerSlam '98, Sting vs Bret Hart from Halloween Havoc '98 and Triple H vs The Rock in a strap match from Fully Loaded '98.
WWE continues to release one great compilation set after another, and this one's no exception. Well worth a look.
Future sets I would love to see them make: The history of the World Title (and please go all the way back to when it was the NWA title), history of the ECW world title, a rise and fall of WCW set, a greatest gimmick matches set and 3-disc sets for the following wrestlers - Jerry Lawler, Big Show, Terry Funk, Chris Jericho and Ricky Steamboat.

The 1990s may have been the most turbulent decade in the history of sports entertainment. The biggest fight of the era was not in the squared circle, but rather between rival companies WWE and WCW, and survival was at stake. Like any good match, it saw its twists and turns, particularly when WCW brought WWE to its knees, winning the Monday-night ratings battle for more than 80 consecutive weeks. While WWE eventually prevailed, the real winners of the war were fans who got to see birth and rebirth of some of the biggest stars and factions in the history of sports entertainment. The Greatest Stars of the 90s profiles 15 of them. Hosted by SmackDown announcer and former ECW champion Tazz, the 3-disc set is packed with matches, interviews, comedy, and more.

WWE: Survivor Series 2008 (2008) Review

WWE: Survivor Series 2008 (2008)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Thank god I didn't pay for this PPV. I really don't know what else to say, but I sincerely hope you take my word for it and refuse to spend your hard earned money on this DVD. I feel bad enough for everyone in the crowd and everyone else who paid to see this on PPV. Hell, I didn't pay for it and I feel bad for myself just for watching it! I almost don't even want to review this garbage but let's get on with it. Matches are rated out of 5 stars (*****).
1. Traditional Survivor Series Match
Team HBK (HBK, Mysterio, Cryme Tyme, & Khali)
VS.
Team JBL (JBL, Kane, Miz and Morrison, & MVP)
Pretty solid opener. Crowd was into this match. Very predictable ending and I felt like this could have been a lot better. I figured for sure Michaels and Morrison would be the last two going at it for their respective teams, which could have been really good, but it didn't turn out that way. Still a pretty good match, but relatively uneventful. **1/2
2. Traditional Survivor Series Match
Team Raw (Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Candice, & Jillian Hall)
vs.
Team SmackDown! (Michelle McCool, Natayla, Maryse, Maria, & Victoria)
Botchfest of a match, truly terrible. There were some moments of decent action but they didn't last very long at all. 1/2*
3. Casket Match
Big Show vs. Undertaker
This was an awful match. I haven't seen a match with this little energy/charisma in a long while (well probably not that long considering the current state of the product but you get the idea). There was a nice table spot, and that's the only thing keeping this from being a DUD, it is that bad. I thought this would be pretty good, as I enjoyed their previous two encounters, but this was atrocious. 1/2*
4. Traditional Survivor Series Match
Team Batista (Batista, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Matt Hardy, & R-Truth)
vs.
Team Orton (Orton, Cody Rhodes, Shelton Benjamin, Regal, & Mark Henry)
Good match, match of the night. I quite enjoyed this one. There were some slow parts but for the most part there was good action all around. I loved the finish and it was nice to see Orton and Rhodes the survivors. ***1/4
5. WWE Championship
Triple H (c) vs. Kozlov (vs. Edge vs. Jeff Hardy? I guess)
Oh my holy good lord this was absolutely shockingly poor. I can safely say this was the worst match I have seen all year. The crowd rightfully defecated all over this one, and when they got tired of chanting "boring, we want hardy, and TNA," they just stopped making any noise whatsoever (can we blame them?). I wouldn't be surprised if Kozlov is dropped from the storyline completely after this one, he may have killed his career. After 12 minutes of wrestling so bad you'd have to see it to believe it, Vickie comes out and says "he's back," of course alluding to Edge, who comes out, soon to be followed by Jeff Hardy. Edge goes on to win the title in what has to be considered one of the worst WWE Championship matches in history. Don't get me wrong, I love Edge as champ, but this was a disgraceful match that makes me want to vomit just thinking about it. This gets my first ever minus rating. - **
6. World Heavyweight Championship
Chris Jericho (c) vs. John Cena
Solid match, nothing even remotely close to their match at SummerSlam 2005 or their loser leaves Raw match the following night. Very slow, lots of rest holds, but the action picked up a bit by the end. Not a bad match, but not at all what you'd expect as a fan. Cena was obviously lacking and barely did anything in this match, and I give Jericho all the credit in the world for making this match decent. Had edge not won the title the match before, I would have never watched WWE again after the finish to this match, it made me that angry. This was as predictable a match as you can get: Cena got beat, he got beat, he got beat, he got beat, he got beat, he got beat, he got beat, he got beat, 5 moves of doom, match over. The announcers, by the way, didn't even seem to care when he won. Seriously, I am not kidding. On a side note the announcing for the show as a whole was of a caliber so uninspiring and uninteresting I felt like I was watching Barney and Friends. Anyway, ok match, ending made me sick. As Michael Cole said, "the champ is back." Just what we all wanted (or at least what those morons in WWE creative thought we all wanted). **3/4
This show was absolutely terrible, and I never ever want to see it EVER again. The only show from WWE in the past 4 years that has been worse than this is WWE Royal Rumble 2006. It seems as though WWE tried making up for this disgrace of a wrestling show by making it newsworthy and relevant with the two title changes, but we weren't fooled. Take my word for it, avoid this show like you would a deadly disease. If you watch it you may never be able to enjoy WWE again. I know as a lifelong fan I feel like I've been punched in the stomach.

For the 22nd consecutive year, the Superstars of WWE come together for Survivor Series. Its unique 5-on-5 elimination matches have always been favorites among WWE fans. Last year's event saw the unlikely duo of Triple H and Jeff Hardy survive, as well as Edge making a controversial return to WWE TV when he disrupted a brutal Hell in a Cell match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Batista and Undertaker. This year will see some unique teams built, and many of the biggest superstars in WWE look to leave an indelible mark on the sports entertainment landscape.

WWE Tombstone - History of the Undertaker (2005) Review

WWE Tombstone - History of the Undertaker (2005)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Tombstone: The History Of The Undertaker tells a roughly 6 hour story about this WWE Superstar's rise to main event status from 1991 until 2004. Aside from the bad packaging, I was very pleased with this DVD. Now, here is what you'll find on here:
Disc 1
Undertaker Vs. Hulk Hogan (WWE Championship) - The Undertaker wins his first WWE title after being in the organization for only a year! Guest appearance from "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.
Undertaker Vs. Yokozuna (RIP)(WWE Championship Casket Match) - This ends up being more of a gang mugging as several WWE stars help out Yoko! Still significant as it shows the fighting spirit of UT in a losing effort.
Undertaker Vs. Diesel - This was from WrestleMania 12 and one of Kevin Nash's better bouts!
Undertaker Vs. Mankind (Buried Alive Match) - Foley, as usual, takes a beating from UT! UT wins the match but ends up getting buried alive by Mankind, The Executioner (Terry Gordy in a mask/RIP) and several other heels!
Undertaker Vs. Mankind (WWE Championship Match) - Undertaker had just won his second WWE title a month earlier. Foley takes another beating including a head first dive into a table!
Undertaker Vs. Bret Hart (WWE Championship Match) - "HBK" Shawn Michaels is the special referee in this one as this was otherwise a classic bout! Guest appearances from Paul Bearer, Owen Hart (RIP) and Brian Pillman (RIP). The ending leads up to the brief but brutal Michales/Undertaker feud!
BONUS MATCH: Undertaker Vs. Bret Hart from One Night Only in England! Awesome bout! Perhaps better than their Summerslam encounter.
EXTRAS ON DISC 1
Undertaker attacks Hogan in the Funeral Parlor
Undertaker builds a casket for Yokozuna
Undertaker talks about Diesel in the graveyard
Undertaker talks about Mankind in the graveyard
Undertaker interrupts Mankind's interview
DISC 2
Undertaker Vs. Shawn Michaels (In Your House: Ground Zero) - This was the first bout and it is a wild affair with guest stars HHH and Chyna!
Undertaker Vs. Shawn Michaels (Hell In The Cell) - The first ever Hell In The Cell! Set the bar for future HITC bouts!
Undertaker Vs. Kane (WrestleMania 14) - This bout was the first ever meeting between these two and probably the best between these two!
Undertaker Vs. Kane (Inferno Match) - Not a great bout BUT does have an awesome dive by 'Taker over the fire onto Kane and Vader!
Undertaker Vs. Mankind (Hell In The Cell) - The worst beating of Mick Foley's life. People can talk about HHH ending Foley's career in this same type of match but, in my eyes, it was UT that shortened Foley's career as the beating he gave Mick was far worse than what HHH did to him!
Undertaker Vs. The Rock (WWE Championship Match) - Very entertaining in that The Rock is his usual defiant self against UT! Guest appearance from HHH in this one!
EXTRAS ON DISC 2
Undetaker interview right after SummerSlam '97 concerning Shawn Michaels
Undertaker talking to her parents' tombstones
Undertaker interview where Kane burns their parents' tombstones
Undertaker breaks into Paul Bearer's house and mauls him!
DISC 3
Undertaker Vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (WWE Championship/First Blood Match) - Your basic brawl! Interference from HHH, The Rock, Shane McMahon and Vince McMahon.
Undertaker Vs. HHH (WrestleMania X-7) - Probably one of the best WM bouts ever!
Undertaker Vs. Hulk Hogan (WWE Championship Match) - This is a rematch 12 years later for the same championship!
Undertaker Vs. Brock Lesner (WWE Championship Match/Hell In The Cell) - One of the top 5 HITC bouts ever! Taker bleeds like a stuck pig! Not for the squemish!
Undertaker Vs. John Cena - Interesting to see John in heel mode here! Actually does a good job staying with 'Taker.
Undertaker Vs. Mr. McMahon (Buried Alive Match) - Not much of a bout but McMahon takes a HUGE A** WHIPPIN' HERE! 'Taker loses when Kane interferes.
Undertaker Vs. Kane (WrestleMania 20) - Nowhere near as good as their original encounter BUT the entrances make it worth viewing.
EXTRAS ON DISC 3
Undertaker talks about HHH
Undertaker promo on Hulk Hogan
Undertaker talks about Hell In The Cell
Undertaker in the graveyard promo on Mr. McMahon
BONUS MATCH: Undertaker Vs. Kurt Angle from Smackdown in 2003!
This a good set even if the packaging was not up to par! I would also recommend getting Undertaker: This Is My Yard as well as it goes more into UT's career BEFORE WWE! Between those two DVD's, you'll have his whole career up until 2004! Recommended set!
