Movie Reviews of WWE - Action!
Movie Review: Extra's Make up for the Documentary
Summary: 3 Stars
In 2001, the WWE (then WWF) had a lot of stuff going on. Beginning in late 2000 when Vince McMahon bought both ECW and WCW, this DVD shows footage of the things that were going on during that time. The documentary only focuses on the first half 2001 and is hosted by Johnathan Coachman.
The program documents several feuds, storylines, certain character development, and clips from matches at the time. The program starts off by showing footage from the Hardcore division and clips from certain matches dealing with the Hardcore title and the 24/7 rule. The bra and panties match which leads to the arrangement between Trish & Mr. McMahon. Perry Saturn's "brain damage" & his obsession with "moppy". Mr. McMahon's marriage to Linda McMahon. The whole relationship between Spike Dudley & Molly Holly. Stone Cold turning on the fans and his relationship with Mr. McMahon & Kurt Angle after Wrestlemania. Austin attacking Jim Ross on Smackdown and turning heel. Ends with the Invasion storyline. Kurt Angle winning the WCW title. Stone Cold Steve Austin turning on the WWF at the Invasion ppv. And the big anticipated return of The Rock.
The Extra's contain seven very good matches from both RAW and Smackdown which are the highlights of the DVD. The matches are not in chronological order.
Smackdown July '01
WCW Championship
Kurt Angle vs. Booker T
This match was hosting from Kurt's hometown in Pittsburg, PA and a week after the Invasion ppv. It had a couple of good spots. A nice brawl on the outside. But the only real highlight is Angle winning the WCW title in his hometown. 4/5
Smackdown Apr. '01
Intercontinental Championship
Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H
This match happened a week after Triple H won the title from Chris Jericho. Hardy put up a very good fight against the game. Hardy was going full blast with his high risk daredevil style offense. A couple of good counters from Triple H. Ends with the ultimate upset with Hardy defeating the game and winning his first Intercontinental title. 3.75/5
Smackdown Apr. '01
Intercontinental Championship
Triple H w/ Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley vs. Chris Jericho
Probably a forgotten match in Triple H's and Jericho's past. This match happened on the same week right after Wrestlemania. Definately one of their better matches. But nothing compared as to their Last Man Standing Match a year earlier. Both performed very well in the ring. A very good match up right here. 4.25/5
Smackdown Mar. '01
The Dudley Boyz vs. Edge, Christian, & Rhyno
Average six man tag match. Happened a week after both Spike and Rhyno made their WWF debuts. Pretty good six man tag. But nothing really that great. 3.5/5
RAW Jan. '01
WWF Championship
Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
This match took place 2 weeks after that huge six man Hell in a Cell match from Armageddon. The match was just like what you expected from Angle and Austin later in the year. A lot of brawling on the outside and good wrestling in the ring. A key thing too in this match that there is no commercial breaks during this match. You get to see all of this match. Triple H would come out & screw Austin which would lead to Austin screwing Triple H in his title match at the Royal Rumble later in the month. The post match brawl between Austin and Triple H certainly added more. A darn good title match from RAW. Very worthy being on ppv. 4.75/5
RAW Apr. '01
Steel Cage Match for the WWF Championship
Stone Cold Steve Austin w/ Mr. McMahon vs. The Rock
Many people forget about this match between The Rock and Stone Cold. It happened night after Wrestlemania. It starts out on the outside where it got wild with the Rock opening up Stone Cold. The match had the same intensity once in the ring as it did from Wrestlemania. The only problem is the time that was given. Triple H comes out and forms the 2 man Power Trip with Austin and McMahon. 4/5
RAW June '01
WWF Championship
Chris Jericho vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Mick Foley was the special enforcer in this match. This match happened 3 weeks after Triple H got injured where Austin and Triple H lost the tag belts to Benoit & Jericho. The match was very good. Austin was in full heel mode here. Even throwing Jericho into Foley on the outside. A couple of very good counters. Possibably even better then their match at No Way Out a couple of months later. A very good match. I enjoyed this match very much. 4.5/5
The Extra's also contain promos from RAW and Smackdown where Mr. McMahon begging Austin for the "Old Stone Cold" a week before the Invasion ppv. Edge being awarded the King of the Ring trophy after winning the KOTR tournament with Christian having a twinge of jealousy. Kurt Angle and Stone Cold having a "hug fight" over Mr. McMahon. And the preparation from both the WWF and the Alliance for the returning Rock.
Overall I was happy with this DVD even though I felt some things they could've gone without such as Perry Saturn and his "moppy" character. And a little less involvment with Trish. But the thing that I didn't like was that we didn't get nothing from the Undertaker, Kane, or Chris Benoit who were very popular at the time. But anyways, since this DVD is 7 years old, I was happy with the product and is very easily to get cheap here on Amazon. I got mine for less then 10 bucks and was happily satisfied so I recommend on getting this.
