Movie Reviews of WWE: Hardy Boyz - Leap of Faith
Movie Review: The Beginnings Of Team Xtreme
Summary: 5 Stars
As I said on their the recently released Hardy Boyz "Twist Of Fate" DVD set, The Hardy Boyz are without a doubt one of the most popular tag teams amongst this generation of wrestling fans. After enjoying that DVD set, I decided to go back & view their first DVD in "Leap Of Faith." Keep in mind that this DVD was made in 2001 when WWE was still WWF so you'll hear comments from the likes of Edge, Christian, Lita years before the whole Matt/Lita/Edge love triangle happened along Christian leaving for TNA. Also throughout the documentry & in the DVD extras, you'll see footage from the Hardy's personal home videos they've made throughout their life dating back to doing backyard wrestling as kids to their recent road trips as WWF superstars.
The documentry kicks off talking about the differences between the two brothers in how Matt is more serious while Jeff is carefree & unique before going into highlights & discussion of their No Mercy ladder match including a funny story of how Jeff Hardy was a "handyman" during the match. Their road to the WWF was heavily profiled next from how they fell in love with wrestling during WrestleMania IV, began wrestling in their backyard as kids, working the independent circuit, and part time jobbers in WWF until they got their contracts. Their WWF careers were chronicled next from paying dues, being put with Michael Hayes, the New Brood with Gangrel, and how the ladder match at No Mercy made them go from WWF wrestlers to WWF superstars. The story of their mom dying from cancer & effect their father had on them is talked about before moving on to showing highlights of the WrestleMania 2000 ladder match & SummerSlam TLC match with comments from both Hardy's on various moments along with going into the effect their entrance along has on the fans to the point where Edge admits that he gets caught up in it at times when he's suppost to be in character. Jeff Hardy's motorcross fetish is discussed next before the Hardy's show highlights & give thoughts on their Unforgiven 2000 cage match against Edge & Christian along with reviewing the whole "Los Conquistadors" angle before closing out the documentry talking about what's in the future for the Hardy Boyz.
Along with the documenty, came six bonus matches...
vs. WWF Tag Team Champions Acolytes - Bradshaw was playing off a concussion given to him by Kane on Heat. Real short match that saw the Hardy Boyz gain their first of many World Tag Team Championships.
"RAW" July '99
(Also available on "Best On RAW Vol. 1 & 2")
Ladder Match vs. Edge & Christian - This was the match that put both teams on the map that would eventually plant the seeds for the future series of ladder/TLC matches featuring various members. Since this was the first tag team ladder match, it was non-stop action & never a dull moment.
No Mercy '99
(Also available on "The Ladder Match")
TLC Match vs. WWF Tag Team Champions Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz - The first TLC match and this was the one that topped their WrestleMania match months earlier. Again, this is one of those matches that I can't describe in words that you just have to watch.
SummerSlam '00
(Also available on the SummerSlam Anthology & "The Ladder Match")
Steel Cage Match vs. WWF Tag Team Champions Edge & Christian - Jeff Hardy got knocked off the top of the cage to the outside floor early in the match leading to Christian & Edge seperating the Hardy's from each other & double teaming one while keeping the other for a majority of the match until the Hardy's were able to comeback & use the same gameplan to win the WWF Tag Team Titles. Various highlights include Matt being double suplexed off the top of the cage, Jeff using a ladder to knock Christian outside the cage along with doing a Wisper In The Wind off the top of the cage, Hardy's doing a con-chair-to to Edge on the top of the cage who then fell backwards off, and Lita doing a frankensteiner on Christian off the ladder.
Unforgiven '00
TLC II Match vs. WWF Tag Team Dudley Boyz vs. Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz - TLC II followed the same patterns as their pervious matches with the exception this time being the involvement of Lita, Rhyno, and Spike Dudley. This match has the highlight reel of Edge (off the top of the ladder) spearing Jeff Hardy (who was hanging from the belt hooks) all the way to the floor that WWE still uses in some promotional videos today.
WrestleMania X-7
(Also available on the WrestleMania Anthology & "The Ladder Match")
w/Lita vs. Steve Austin, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon - This was a quick 10 min. match but was fast paced between both teams with the Hardys being able to hold their own against two of the top names in the WWF. The ladies didn't get involved until the end but the real highlight here was the aftermath where Austin & Triple H gave Lita the most vicious beating to Lita that anyone has ever seen a man give a woman in the WWF (probably wrestling period) with her being assaulted with a steel chair along with recieving the Pedigree & Stone Cold Stunner.
"RAW" Apr. '01
In the end, the documentry was very much like the normal WWF documentry was at that time where it was around an hour long & they mostly showed highlights of your big feuds & matches with comments from others. This is actually a good DVD to pick up along with the recent Hardy's DVD as whatever wasn't covered here was covered there (details of their backyard/independent wrestling careers, tables match with Dudleys, and everything that's happened in the years after this DVD was released) but whatever the documentry may have lacked, the DVD bonus matches certainly heavily made up for it & more so if your a big fan of the Hardy Boyz, Edge & Christian (as they're heavily featured throughout the matches & documentry), or just the performances these four can put together then I heavily recommend.
