PRELUDE:
I checked with a BleacherReport.com administrator, or whatever the hell they're called here, and was given the greenlight on writing Pro Wrestling DVD reviews. I'm not going to write like Amazon.com and have short, biased reviews and opinions. I'm writing these for a few reasons. One, of course, being to show people what to expect out of a DVD before purchasing it. Two because WWE's DVD quality varies, and you can never really tell what your getting until you  watch it. Sometimes, you'll get a DVD that is well put together, tells a Superstar's story very well, tons of interviews, behind the scenes etc. And you can tell a lot of effort was put into it such as the latest Shawn Michaels: Heartbreak & Triumph DVD. Then, you'll get something like the latest Triple H DVD which seems it was thrown together in an hour. Random matches were picked, with hardly ANY background to it, just a two-minute explanation interview with HHH between them. It was put out just to make the WWE some extra cash and because Vince McMahon himself once again denied the creation of a Macho Man Randy Savage DVD, so something had to fill its place. 

I have an extensive Wrestling DVD, or i should say video, collection dating back to 1997. But there is no point of reviewing a random video from 1998 like a WCW Superstar Series on DDP, because #1) It's irrelevant. The wrestlers, characters, older stuff is just outdated. #2) Wrestling DVDs hang on the shelves for a few months, and are taking away for good, unlike your favorite theatrical movies and video games, which hang around for years. Finally, #3) Like i said it's hard to know what "quality of DVD your getting", a thrown together junk set or an actual well-coordinated DVD, so I'll save you the trip and the money.
