^ No, Hogans matches bore the shit out of me. The only way I'd be interested is if there was a good documentary on it. Also maybe if there was a lot of old NWO matches/promos.

Here is my review of Bloodbath, I already reviewed it in this thread way at the beginning, the other ones requested are coming soon.

Review For Bloodbath: Wrestling's Most Incredible Steel Cage Matches

Here we go. The most incredible steel cage matches! Well, the first thing I would like to point out is that other than the 11 matches in the extras, these are not complete matches. They are just clips of joining the match in progress.

The bolded matches are shown in their entirety.

Bob Backlund vs. Pat Patterson ** 1/2
Bruno Sammartino vs. Ivan Koloff ** 1/4
Bruno Sammartino and Larry Zbyszko Fued **
Bob Backlund vs. Stan Hansen ** 1/2
Bob Backlund vs. Jimmy Snuka *** 1/4
Don Muraco vs. Jimmy Snuka *** 3/4
Tully Blanchard vs. Magnum TA *** 3/4
Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes *** 1/2
Hulk Hogan vs. Paul Orndorff ***
Ric Flair vs. Ronnie Garvin *** 1/2
Rock 'n' Roll Express vs. Andersons ***
Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty *** 1/2
Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart **** 1/2
Isaac Yankem vs. Bret Hart ***
Triple H vs. Mankind **** 1/4
Triple H vs. The Rock *** 1/2
Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon ** 3/4
Edge & Christian vs. Hardy Boyz *** 1/2
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit *** 3/4
Edge vs. Kurt Angle *** 1/2

Overall, you will not enjoy a great part of this DVD if you do not enjoy old-school wrestling, but if you do you will love it. Worth a pick-up if you can find it cheap, but I would not spend a great deal on it. If the matches were all in full, this one would be a jem. Still, there are two classic must-own matches on this, Bret vs. Owen and Foley vs. Triple H. Those matches can be found on other DVDs though.

Overall Rating: *** 1/2

I'm not a great fan of old school wrestling, i didn't realise how much was on it. I'm not going to buy it i guess.

I haven't seen some of the matches for a long time, so the ratings may be a bit off.

Review For Bret Hart: Best There Is/Was/Ever Will Be

The title says it all. Bret Hart was probably the second greatest in ring competitor of all-time only behind Ric Flair. The program starts off with a great documentary which is definetly worth a watch. It has interviews with Bret so manages to stay less biased than a lot of WWE docs.

Disc 1

7/13/85
Hart Foundation vs. British Bulldogs *** 1/4

2/17/86
Hart Foundation vs. Killer Bees ***

Disc 2

3/8/86
Bret Hart vs. Ricky Steamboat ****

3/8/89
Bret Hart vs. Ted DiBiase *** 1/4

Saturday Night's Main Event
Hart Foundation vs. Rockers *** 1/2

Wrestlemania VII
Hart Foundation vs. Nasty Boys *** 1/2

SummerSlam 1991
Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect **** 1/4

Summerslam 1992
Bret Hart vs. British Bulldog ****

4/24/93
Bret Hart vs. Bam Bam Bigelow *** 1/2

King of the Ring 1993
Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect ****

Wrestlemania X
Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart ****

Disc 3

6/26/94
Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart *** 3/4

In Your House 5/14/95
Bret Hart vs. Hakushi *** 3/4

Survivor Series 1995
Bret Hart vs. Diesel *** 1/4

In Your House 12/17/95
Bret Hart vs. British Bulldog **** 1/2

Wrestlemania 13
Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin *****

One Night Only
Bret Hart vs. Undertaker ****

WCW Nitro: Owen Hart Tribute
Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit *** 1/2

Overall, this is probably the best WWE superstar compliation I have seen. No match is lower than *** and 8 are **** or more. Bret is one incredible human being. Must own.

^^ric flairs is a better comp.

**DDMac** · 07-09-2007, 05:32 PM

Flair has three ***** matches on his comp and almost all are ****1/4 and over. Its the best comp ever.

Johnny S · 07-09-2007, 05:34 PM

I think thats a very overrated match. It was emotional, but really I can't imagine putting it as high as even ****. Not sure why some many people praise it so much...

Johnny S · 07-09-2007, 06:47 PM

EDIT: Sorry for the double post.

Again, I have not seen the show since mid-2006 so the ratings may be a bit off.

Review For Royal Rumble 2006

Cruiserweight Championship Invitational
Kid Kash (c) vs. Funaki vs. Jamie Noble vs. Nunzio vs. Paul London vs. Gregory Helms ***
- A solid opener. I don't even remember this match being announced until the day of so it was a pleasant surprise.

Ashley vs. Mickie James w/ Guest Referee Trish Stratus * 3/4
- I'd prefer that the good womens wrestlers get the matches on PPV. Mickie is awesome, but she does not have much to work with. On the plus side, Trish and Mickie looked gorgeous as always.

JBL vs. Boogeyman 1/4 *
- JBL deserves better than this. Why must WWE keep The Boogeyman around? At least don't let him be on PPV.

WWE Championship
Edge (c) w/ Lita vs. John Cena *** 1/4
- I can't remember this match that well, but from what I remember it was decent.

Royal Rumble Match *** 3/4
- This was not the best Rumble ever, but it was entertaining, as always. Other than the bad booking for Rey to win, it was pretty good. Match of the night.

World Heavyweight Championship
Kurt Angle (c) vs. Mark Henry ***
- Mark Henry should never be in a main event again. Kurt works with what he is given and puts on a pretty decent match, but anyone else would have been better. A classic finish though.

Overall, this is a watchable PPV, but there is nothing special about it. No amazing or must-see matches. Don’t buy it unless you can find it cheap.

Overall Rating: ** 1/2

Next review will be for the Rob Van Dam DVD.
