^ Nope. I am basically watching whatever I feel in the mood to watch at the time.

Last night I watched WM 22 as I had yet to see it. The atmosphere was amazing, but various aspects were dissapointing. I am watching WM 20 right now. (Which I have seen, but not for almost 3 years since it happened.)

I was thinking of getting the WrestleMania Anthology too but here in Europe they have WrestleMania's 1-12 with 13-14 out in February I'll probably get them, no WWF mentions removed which is awesome

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 following are the matches included in their entirety:

Bob Backlund vs. Pat Patterson
Bruno Sammartino vs. Ivan Koloff
Don Muraco vs. Jimmy Snuka
Bob Backlund vs. Stan Hansen
Tully Blanchard vs. Magnum TA
Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes
Rock 'n' Roll Express vs. Andersons
Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart
Mankind vs. Triple-H
Edge vs. Kurt Angle

Now, for the main program...

Bob Backlund vs. Pat Patterson
- A decent match here if you are a fan of true old-school. It will be a snooze-fest if you are not. 5.5/10

Bruno Sammartino and Larry Zbyszko Fued
- Worth a watch for old-school fans, otherwise boring. 4.2/10

Bob Backlund vs. Jimmy Snuka
- A solid, historic match here. 7.5/10

Don Muraco vs. Jimmy Snuka
- One of the greatest feuds ever. 8.3/10

Tully Blanchard vs. Magnum TA
- Rather boring match, again worth watching for old-school fans. 5.4/10

Hulk Hogan vs. Paul Orndorff
- Classic here, not an amazing match, but two legends. 7.2/10

Ric Flair vs. Ronnie Garvin
- The Nature Boy! Woooooo! Solid contest, worth a watch. 7.5/10

Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart
- Amazing match, by two of the best ever. Must-see. 9.5/10

Isaac Yankem vs. Bret Hart
Interesting to see Glen Jacobs pre-Kane gimmick. Not an amazing match, but great for nostalgia. 6.6/10

Triple H vs. Mankind
- Another classic match here. Absolutely must-see. 9.6/10

Triple H vs. The Rock
- Two of the best from the Attitude Era square off. Nice match. 8.1/10

Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon
- Great feud, and the debut of a 7 foot tall 500 pound monster. I'll let you guess who that is. 7.6/10

Edge & Christian vs. Hardy Boyz
- One of the best feuds the tag-team division has ever seen. Solid match.8.6/10

Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
- Man, do these two have chemistry. Great match. 8.6/10

Edge vs. Kurt Angle
- Another match with two awesome competitors. 7.9/10

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.

Overall Rating: 7.5/10

Review For The Monday Night War

It was a great time to be a wresting fan indeed. An amazing documentary, one of the most well-done ones I have seen from WWE. This was truly a classic era in sports entertainment history, and it is great to relieve on DVD. The documentary is thorough enough to be informative, but not to become boring.

Documentary Rating: 9.5/10

Extras:

1) Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith vs. Steve Austin & Shawn Michaels
- Not a bad match, but boring at times. 6.4/10

2) The Road Warriors vs. Shawn Michaels & Triple-H
- Nothing special here, but it’s good for nostalgia. 5.1/10

3) Booker-T vs. Chris Benoit
- This match is pretty nice, but again underwhelming. 7.2/20

Hollywood Hogan vs. Goldberg
- A very historic match. Not a technical classic, but it is still a classic in my book for other reasons. 8.5/10

It also contains various promos as extras which are great to see. The only criticism is that there could have been more. 9.0/10

Overall, this is great to watch, but you probably will not watch it more than once. If you were a fan during this era, than you’ll love it, but it’s not a must-buy. Try to find it for cheap.

Overall Rating: 7.6/10

[samoajoebucfan]

I would agree with your review of the Monday Night War. I only have two complaints. Number 1) There wasn't enough material. This easily could have been a 2 disc or 3 disc set with the best moments of each show. Number 2) It's very one-sided.

[Johnny S]

^ Yeah, it is quite one-sided even with the Eric Bischoff interviews. There definitely was not enough material, but I thought if the documentary went any longer it would get boring. I'd love to see a DVD of WCW's greatest moments and matches released now.

Surivior Series 2002-

6 Man Table Match-Jeff/Bubba/Spike vs Rosey/Jamal/Rico-***

CW Title-Billy Kidman vs James Gibson(Jaime Noble)***

Women's Title Hardcore Rules-Trish vs Victoria-**1/2

WWE Title-Brock Lesnar vs Big Show-**(short but very entertaing)

WWE Tag Team Titles 3 Way Elimiation-Chavo/Eddie vs Benoit/Angle vs Rey/Edge-***3/4 or ****

World Title Elimination Chamber-HHH vs Jericho vs HBK vs Booker T vs Kane vs RVD-*****

Ok first off i gave the 1st ever EC match 5 stars for a few reasons. It being my fav match in WWE history, the whole atmosphere of the match made it that, the match itself, HBK winning the gold, the length by making it go 40 min. It just went beyond the hype. Ok one of my fav PPV's that the WWE has ever produced, not a bad match on the card, sure Brock vs Show is only 4:18 but i swear it is solid. It works, not slow, not boring and Brock's display of power is phenomenal and once again the atomsphere really helps. The heel turn by Heyman is nice and unexpected. A true real casual WWE fan will love this show and people who can tolerate WWE will find this a very good show and i really recommend this PPV for anyone that doesn't have it.

[Role Model]

Anyone have a correct list of the DVD's WWE are planning to release next year?

[I luv Mickie James]

Summerslam 2006 quick review

Rey/Chavo ***.5 (shite ending though)
Orton/Hogan dud (usual hogan antics)
Sabu/Bigshow ** (sabu was a little sloppy in this)
Foley/Flair (i quit)*** (man, flair IS broke if he agreed to so this)
DX/McMahons *** (Fun match, good storytelling)
Booker/Batista *.5 (even live it was boring)
Cena/Edge **** (Cenas best singles match, better than against y2j the previous year at summerslam)

Extras
The last hot dog is just an advert, not very funny.
Ditto the sackrace, Candice isnt even that fit.
Cena/Edge story from RAW the night after SS is good, we see the "new" rated R belt and Cena (credit to him) beats the crap out of Edge and makes it look realistic.

Overall - If you want an average 3 brand ppv buy it, nothing special tbh.

Best bits - I quit match
Cena/Edge was surprisingly intense
McMahons/DX was a solid match, the psychology was great.

Bad bits - JR/Kings commentary, please guys, STOP
Booker/Batista was every bit as bad as the internet fans say it is
Bad endings to 3 matches
Rey/Chavo should have had more time.

Overall rating for Summerslam 2006 - 6.5/10

The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA

This 2 disc DVD deals with both the history and showcases some of the greatest matches, not only in AWA history, but in Professional wrestling history all together.

Disc 1

Disc one deals with the history of how the AWA Started after a fallout with Verne Gagne (then NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion) and the Chicago Promoter who was pushing for a World Title for Verne while the rest of the Promoters nixed the approval of Verne Defeating then NWA World Heavyweight Champion Lou Thesz. It shows the Rise of AWA with guys like Verne Gagne, Nick Bockwinkel, "The Crippler" Ray Stevens, Baron Von Raschke, The High Flyers (Jim Brunzell and Greg Gagne) Hulk Hogan, East-West Connection (Adrian Adonis and Jesse Ventura) Curt Henning, Larry "The Ax" Hennig, among many other stars that called the AWA home. It goes from the Rise of the 70s, to the fall that began once Hogan agreed to come back to then WWF after cutting a Deal with Vince McMahon Jr. It talks about the effect it left as star after star left the AWA for the WWF. No doubt though that by the end of the DVD you will have a better understanding of the impact the AWA had and if your a wrestling historian like myself, you will respect and enjoy the biography of the history, or as Verne Gagne puts it "The Spectacular Legacy" of the AWA.
