Movie Review: The DVD Extras Make This A Must Own.
Summary: 3 Stars
The documentry starts off by discussing the hardcore division with highlights from various hardcore matches such as Big Show, Chris Jericho, and Rhino all winning the title at various times along with a Raven vs. Taz match that got out of control with wrestlers such as Steve Blackman & Hardcore Holly looking to cash in on the 24/7 rule. Trish Stratus relationship with Mr. McMahon is looked at from them being at a "soup kitchen" on Christmas to her conflict with Stephanie to her getting her revenge on Vince at WrestleMania. Trish was also the focus of the bra & panties segment that featured hergoing against Ivory & Terri with special appearences by Chyna & Perry Saturn. Speaking of Saturn, his character development revolving around getting hit in the head too much to "Moppy" was showcased as well. The big "Romeo & Juliet" love story between Spike Dudley & Molly Holly was covered as well. The evolution of Steve Austin after WrestleMania X-7 was showcased in how Austin turned heel, attacked Jim Ross, and started becoming more comedic & emotional towards Vince McMahon. While we're on the subject of Vince McMahon, his relationship with Linda McMahon, buying WCW, and his relationship with both Angle & Austin is covered. The documentry comes to a close on the beginning of the Invasion angle as ECW came on the scene & merged with WCW, Steve Austin jumping ship to the Alliance, both teams preparing for The Rock's return, and Kurt Angle winning the WCW Title from Booker T close the documentry out.
The real highlight of this DVD are the bonus matches (eventhough they're not in order) included on here such as:
WCW Champion Booker T vs. Kurt Angle - This is from SmackDown the week after the Invasion PPV & was a just an average match with the highlight being Kurt Angle winning the WCW Championship & continuing the storyline with Stone Cold.
Intercontinental Champion Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy - This match happened on SmackDown in mid-April. The match featured non-stop action as Hardy was just using his quick "daredevil" offense in the opening minutes while Triple H was real intense throughout that made the match better along with the surprize ending of Jeff Hardy winning the Intercontinental Title for the first time.
Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho vs. Triple H - This happened the week before the previous match on SmackDown. Just like the previous match as well, this was non-stop action that never slowed down. Jericho & Triple H gave a solid performance that you would expect from both men & it was a match that was more entertaining than their WrestleMania X8 encounter. The end result was Triple H winning the Intercontinental Championship.
Edge, Christian, Rhino vs. Dudley Boyz & Spike Dudley - This happened around 2 weeks before WrestleMania on SmackDown after both Spike Dudley & Rhino made their debut on RAW earlier in the week. This was just a quick average six man tag match here.
WWF Champion Kurt Angle vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin - This match was from RAW in early Jan & it is a lost classic. Austin & Angle started with wild opening minutes of the match with brawling on the outside & through in the crowd before settling in a good back & forth wrestling match in the ring. The ending involving Triple H set up what would happen during Triple H's title match at the Royal Rumble later in the month.
Steel Cage Match: WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock - A "forgotten" match in their historic feud as this match happened the night after WrestleMania on RAW. The match kicked off with a wild brawl outside the ring where Austin got busted open right off the bat. When they got back into the ring, the match was just as you would expect from these two in the based off their previous encounters as well with the only downfall being that they didn't have as much time as their PPV matches. In the end, Triple H & Vince McMahon got involved in beating down The Rock.
WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Chris Jericho - This match happened in early June on RAW. The match itself was real good & it was better than their dull No Way Out PPV match or even their above average match at Vengeance as Jericho & Austin put in a main event worthy performance. The other story behind this match was Mick Foley making himself the special outside referee & he got involved various times leading to problems with him & Commissioner Regal towards the end of the match.
Other DVD extras include Vince begging for the "old Stone Cold" to lead Team WWF into the main event at the Invasion PPV, Edge awarded the King Of The Ring trophy with the continued tease of jealous by Christian, Austin & Angle having a "hug fight" with Vince McMahon, and a short 1 min. highlight of both the WWF & The Alliance preparing for The Rock's return on RAW.
Overall the documentary is nothing special as they could have added more to it like features of the Undertaker, more on Angle & Rock or even the upcoming weeks toward SummerSlam 2001 but the extra matches are worth the price of admission.
