Jimmy Snuka\’s dive off the top of a cage, Jeff Hardy\’s leap of faith at WrestleMania 2000, Evan Bourne nailing his Air Bourne maneuver, all just a small taste of a thrilling three-disc DVD set.
WWE: Wrestling\’s Highest Flyers DVD takes a look at 20 superstars in the WWE video library that have dazzled, shocked, and innovated the WWE Universe with their aerial attacks. 27 matches are showcased on the three-disc set. The DVD features a great mix of WWE legends, alumni, current WWE high flyers and even former superstars that compete outside of WWE.
All 20 superstars get their own short bio package, some of them have segments showing a move with a camera strapped to their chest. The features on Steamboat, Pillman, Eddie Guerrero, all look similar to past clips shown on their own WWE documentaries, but the matches featured are not from their DVDs.
For Lucha Libre action, the six-man tag team match from WCW: Bash at the Beach 97 delivers an insane array of moves that you rarely see even in today\’s Lucha Libre. Shelton Benjamin\’s match is a great reminder that he had all the potential to be a main eventer in WWE.
For a compilation DVD set this is an excellent selection of the high flying wrestling style of North America, Japan and Mexico. While DVD collectors may already have Guerrero VS. Rey Mysterio from Halloween Havoc 97 and Edge & Christian VS. Hardy Boyz VS. Dudley Boyz from WrestleMania 2000, there are still plenty of matches to make this a worthy purchase.
