WWE: Greatest Superstars of the 21st Century DVD review

August 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Send to Kindle

Relive the rise to super stardom in the WWE of John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Batista, Edge, Randy Orton, and the return of Shawn Michaels in WWE: Greatest Superstars of the 21st Century.

Like past WWE DVDs covering the greatest superstars of the 80′s and 90′s, WWE: Greatest Superstars of the 21st Century covers the WWE stars that made the biggest impact from 2000-2009. More than 20 stars of the past decade are featured in short highlight packages on the first disc while the two other discs are filled with matches. The majority of the commentary comes from the current WWE roster and officials.

Surprisingly WWE showcases talent that no longer works for the company. Brock Lesnar, Jeff Hardy and Kurt Angle all get their own video bios. Angle’s video does poke fun at Angle being a goof more than his abilities at being a great wrestler though. When it comes to Hardy and Lesnar they are both given their dues for their unique and memorable moments in WWE history. Eddie Guerrero is also given a respectable tribute for his five-year contribution to WWE.

Lesnar VS. Angle in a 60-minute Ironman match for the WWE Championship is the most exciting match on this DVD set as it was quite possibly one of the best WWE television matches of all-time. Great back-and-forth action with brilliant storytelling. Although Lesnar’s career in WWE was short, the Ironman match with Angle may have been his best match. Kane unmasking after his match with HHH is a noteworthy event as it spawned into Kane’s current demonic character.

For most WWE fans this is a trip down a very recent memory lane. New WWE fans will likely benefit from this history lesson if they only tuned in a few years ago. A little disappointed that they did not expand on some of the controversial moments a lot of superstars caused. While The Miz hints at how JBL is a bully and did not like him there was no in-depth reasons to why JBL treated new talent poorly. The WWE portrays a positive light on almost every aspect of their entertainers.

WWE: Rey Mysterio The Life of a Masked Man DVD review

July 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Send to Kindle

Rey Mysterio is considered by many fans and peers as the greatest high flyer ever in WWE history and now you can find out why in WWE’s newest DVD release, Rey Mysterio The Life of a Masked Man.

Not only do you get more than two dozen matches from Mysterio’s days in Extreme Championship Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling and WWE, but matches that have not been shown over and over again on WWE home video. The first disc starts off with the host Matt Stryker asking Mysterio how he got into the business and how big of an impact Konnan had on his start.

Mysterio speaks openly on his rivalry with Juventud Guerrera and his friendship with Eddie Guerrero. Mysterio explains how the WrestleMania 21 match he had with Guerrero did not go as they planned due to Mysterio having problems with his mask in that match. Mysterio states how Guerrero left this world too soon and how hard it was to carry on without him.

Mysterio also speaks openly on his friendship with Batista, how it grew from their personal likes and enjoyment of spending a lot of money. All of Mysterio’s commentary ties into matches as we get matches with Batista and when he talks about his mask we get matches where his mask was in jeopardy against Kane and Chris Jericho.

Watching Mysterio’s matches shows how dangerous his style was earlier in his career. Due to his size, Mysterio was nearly always the underdog who battled back from a huge beating. Once Mysterio makes WWE, he develops a different style that is still battling the odds, but the matches are not completely one-sided for most of the duration.

While not the first Rey Mysterio DVD set to be released, these matches are unique compared to the past release and the new Mysterio interview segments are intriguing enough to make this a must buy for any Mysterio fan or fan of high-flying action. Mysterio has been one of the best high-flyers for so many years now that he could easily fill up another three-disc set. Fans will be more than satisfied with the unique matches shown with Kurt Angle, The World’s Greatest Tag Team, Jericho and how Mysterio battled the odds after losing his partner Hector Garza following a horrible injury.

WWE: Elimination Chamber 2011 DVD review

March 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Send to Kindle

The Rock made his triumphant return to World Wrestling Entertainment home video delivering a war of words against John Cena in the special features on the WWE: Elimination Chamber 2011 DVD.

A week before the last pay-per-view prior to WrestleMania, The Rock appeared on RAW to announce that he was going to guest host the biggest WWE event of the year. The Rock did not waste time stating his dislike for Cena dissing him while he was away from WWE. The Rock delivered classic and new material against Cena, who responded the following week on RAW with a freestyle rap against The Rock. WrestleMania is now a lot more intriguing thanks to this new storyline twist.

Canada’s own Trish Stratus also made her return to WWE, but it was at the Elimination Chamber event as she revealed her role on the new season of WWE’s Tough Enough show. Stratus did a hybrid of Booker T’s and The Rock’s catchphrases and delivered some Stratusfaction by saving Kelly Kelly from a beatdown from LayCool later on in the show.

Elimination Chamber starts off with a solid encounter between the no.1 contender for the World Heavyweight Championship, Alberto Del Rio, against the Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston in a non-title match. Del Rio showed an aggressive streak throughout the match that Kingston had difficulty keep up with at the start. However, once Kingston got an opening he seized it and unloaded his typical offence against Del Rio. Del Rio though delivered a stunning neckbreaker with Kingston caught in the top rope and finished off Kingston soon afterwards.

The first Elimination Chamber of the night saw Edge defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Rey Mysterio, Big Show, Kane, Drew McIntyre and Wade Barrett. Despite Edge having to start the match he was able to outlast all five other competitors to move on to the WrestleMania showdown with Del Rio. Edge started off battling Mysterio until the big men got involved and started throwing the superstars into the glass pods. Carnage reigned supreme until Mysterio and Edge teamed up to take out the giants. Mysterio jumping off the top of the cage and the abuse Barrett took going through multiple pods was merely the start of the chaos to come.

While Barrett had a rough night, his teammates from The Corre had a better time against the WWE Tag Team Champions Santino and Kozlov. Capturing their second tag team titles, Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater continued their rise to fame in sports entertainment. The Miz also believed he continued his rise with a victory over WWE Hall-of-Famer Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. When Alex Riley was ejected to the backstage Lawler got a fair fight, but it was not enough to beat Miz. Miz now believes he lived up to the claim of the greatest of all the world champions.

The main event saw John Cena, CM Punk, John Morrison, R-Truth, Sheamus and Randy Orton battle for the last chance for a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania. Sheamus and Morrison stood out the most in this match, putting their bodies on the line countless times. This allowed for Orton to come in and dominate until Punk came in. When it came down to Cena and Punk, Punk was badly beaten with blood coming down his leg and some bruising on his back following an Attitude Adjustment on the steel floor.

WWE is clearly picking up momentum as WrestleMania draws near. The return of ‘Attitude Era’ stars has been a great mix to the current batch of WWE superstars. The Rock and Cena confrontation is one that fans have been waiting for a while now. The Elimination Chambers delivered the price of admission, and if you missed it live, well worth the price of the DVD.
