WWE News: WWE's OMG! Top 50 DVD Covers Fun Past, Reminds Us of Stale Present

WWE's latest DVD–OMG! The Top 50 Incidents in WWE History, was an entertaining showcase of hallmark events from WWE's once glorious past. 

With the vast majority of "incidents" coming in the famed, not-yet-to-be-outdone, late 90s boom period, a more befitting title for the OMG! DVD may have been "top incidents of the Attitude Era."

OMG! was surprisingly aggressive in its demonstration of WWE's most outrageous moments, liberally featuring blood, strong curse words and adopting the unmistakable "attitude" of the very period in which much of this DVD paid homage to. 

The obvious star of this DVD was Stone Cold Steve Austin, who was featured at least 10 times, with Shane McMahon, Vince McMahon and Mae Young also frequenting the top 50. 

The amount in which the aforementioned stars were featured made the commentary aspect of the DVD quite repetitive with the "everybody wants to beat up their boss" sentiment quickly becoming more annoying than obvious. 

Also annoying was the "Oh My God" jingle played prior to every incident.  After at least 50 of these soundbites, get ready to have this pestering tune stuck in your head by movie's end like a one hit wonder from hell. 

The DVD was perfectly titled as I constantly found myself instinctively saying "Oh My God!" in reaction to many of the lists offerings.  

There were few dull moments on this list, and not many "snubs" come to mind when thinking of moments that should have been included.  In fact, I had so much fun watching this DVD that it quickly made me sad thinking about how watered down the product has become when I made my inevitable comparisons to present times.  

Harsh reality dictates that CM Punk calling Triple H a doofus is today's version of some of the fantastic profanity-laced tirades that were once blurted out without hesitation by Steve Austin.  

This is not to say that a promotion needs profanity and lewd stunts in order to be fun—in fact, this list doubled as a reminder of how much garbage was aired during the Attitude Era like Tim White's suicide watch or Mae Young giving birth to a hand—but with the current status quo of WWE offerings being a tame, PG environment, the overbearing lack of intensity in pro wrestling sure has created a noticeable void.    

The list's commentators slightly added to its entertainment value, with baby boomers of the Attitude Era such as Kofi Kingston, Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler interjecting much of the analysis. 

Jerry Lawler was also a prominent contributor with John Cena (who seemed to be severely phoning this one in) featured more infrequently.  William Regal was brilliant in consistently conjuring up his own heel brand of analysis. 

The star on commentary had to be Santino Marella, who always had a hilarious anecdote or childhood story related to multiple incidents.  His commentary was only funnier given his trademark Italian accent.  Santino's best line came in the form of a story he told while reacting to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's coconut assault on Jimmy Snuka:

"

"When I was a young Santino, I want to see how real this is and I cracked my brother, Pasqua, with a coconut.  And he was knock out.  And my father came and I was knock out."  

"

Overall, OMG! The Top 50 Incidents in WWE History is sure to entertain and provide fond memories for the legion of wrestling fans who grew up in the Attitude Era–all of whom will shutter to think what kind of outrageous incidents that today's WWE will have for the next generation.
