WWE WrestleMania 29: DVD review

WWE WrestleMania 29: DVD review

For lifelong fans of WWE, it’s impossible not to get excited about the prospect of WrestleMania when it comes around each year. No matter what match-ups are on offer, you can nearly always rely on the world’s biggest wrestling brand to pull something truly special out of the bag and rise to the occasion – but that task  is becoming increasingly difficult in a media landscape which sees more exposure to the product than ever before. With a few notable exceptions (WrestleMania’s IX, XI and XVII spring to mind), the biggest event of the year rarely disappoints, offering fans spectacle, pageantry, awe-inspiring…

The Best of WWE In Your House (DVD Review)

The best of In Your House

Look past the camp name and cartoonish logo, and the introduction of In Your House to the WWF’s pay-per-view calendar in May 1995 marked a sizable change in direction for the company: a change that is still felt by the industry to this day. Under pressure from a soon-to-be dominant WCW, In Your House events were introduced to run each and every month in between the WWF’s ‘big five’ shows: Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam and Survivor Series. It was, in many ways, a curious time for the WWF to increase its pay-per-view output: 1995 is regarded by many longtime…

For All Mankind: The Life and Career of Mick Foley (DVD Review)

Mick-Foley

In this new, three disc-set, available to buy now on DVD and Blu-Ray at WWEDVD.co.uk (yes, that was a cheap pop), WWE takes a retrospective look at one of the most riveting wrestling stories of his generation. Spanning some 30 years, this release attempts to cram as much content as fits into three hours. CM Punk accurately summarised the career of Mick Foley in just one sentence – “wrestling dialled up to eleven” – and this DVD is a testament of one underdog’s journey to the top of his industry. I greatly enjoyed having the opportunity to share in Mick Foley’s journey…

The Best of WCW Monday Nitro Vol. 2 (DVD review)

The Best of WCW Monday Nitro Vol. 2 (DVD review)

It’s hard to believe, but it’s now been more than 12 years since the last ever episode of WCW Monday Nitro aired on television screens and the once-untouchable company was purchased for a paltry sum by its main competitors. The end of the ‘Monday Night Wars’ signalled the beginning of a new era; an era that would see World Wrestling Entertainment dominate the professional wrestling market with little in the way of mainstream competition. It also marked the end of perhaps wrestling’s finest period – as it is only really with the benefit of hindsight that we can truly appreciate…

WWE Elimination Chamber 2013 (DVD review)

WWE Elimination Chamber 2013 (DVD review)

The annual February pay-per-view offering from WWE has, historically, been somewhat of a mixed bag. Lumped in between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, it typically is an event that is designed to bolster buy rates and increase interest for the company’s biggest show of the year, by providing a platform to further feuds en route to the big showdowns at the ‘Granddaddy of Them All’.   Occasionally, though, it does much for than that, by providing memories and moments that have gone down in wrestling’s history books. While it may have gone through several different names, February’s pay-per-view has, in the past,…

WWE The Best of Raw and Smackdown 2012 (DVD review)

WWE The Best of Raw and Smackdown 2012 (DVD review)

As my esteemed colleague Ben Veal pointed out in his WWE Best Pay-Per-View Matches DVD review, 2012 featured some pretty memorable moments. And, whilst many of these culminated in huge PPV encounters, it was Raw and Smackdown that played host to many of the standout moments of the last year.  ‘The Best of Raw and Smackdown 2012′, available to buy now on DVD and Blu-Ray from WWEDVD.co.uk, distils twelve months down to three discs, cutting most of the wheat from the chaff and leaving us with a glorious collection of vignettes, interviews and matches that showcase a lot of what is…

WWE Best Pay-Per-View Matches 2012 (DVD review)

WWE Best Pay-Per-View Matches 2012 (DVD review)

The year 2012 offered up many memories and landmark moments for fans of World Wrestling Entertainment. The return of Brock Lesnar. A ‘Once in a Lifetime’ showdown.  The longest WWE championship reign of the modern era. And, yes, the debut of Ryback. While Raw had a big role to play in many or these memories, WWE’s twelve pay-per-view events also offered a great deal of action and big clashes – so it’s little wonder that Fremantle Media has released ‘WWE Best Pay-Per-View Matches 2012′, a three-disc compilation showcasing some of the strongest bouts from the year’s big shows. It’s available to…
