Movie Review: Yes! This is John Cena's Life........
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, I want to say....I am NOT a John Cena fan. This dvd was bought for me by a friend who knew I collected wrestling biography dvd's and I have passed on this one several times simply because it was a John Cena dvd.
So with all that in mind here's is a very surprising review (to me anyway) that I though I'd never write.
Disc 1
The biography section is pretty decent but lacks a clear running order and interview segments with the man himself. It runs a little longer than I expected it to run and includes at least 2 segments that are not needed(Spinner Belt & Weight Training) and actually stop the flow of an otherwise interesting life story. The best segments are his OVW promos and "You can't see me".
The bonus section is a look at his muscle car collection and I would have to say this is pretty damn good! I'm not a huge fan of muscle cars in general but the way this presentation is put together, I actually got excited at some of the sweet rides! I do agree has nothing to do with wrestling but this is a huge part of John Cena's life and that is what this collection is about, so I welcome it with open arms as it "breaks the mold" of what these documentaries are about and this is what Cena is all about(watch the documentary and you'll understand).
Disc 2
This disc is what most people are complaining about as it is the only disc to feature wrestling matches and only 7 of them. I have no complaints as 6 of them are landmark matches of his career. Granted, there are probably better ones but these all have historical significance in Cena's life (Once again, that is what this collection is about...right?) in the WWE. I do agree there should have been at least one match from his US Title days instead of the 6 man tag match but I won't complain as the others are much better and make up for the omission.
Matches include:
1. The Prototype(Cena) vs Randy Orton - 1/19/02 OVW
2. John Cena vs Chris Jericho - 7/21/02 Vengeance (Cena's 1st PPV)
3. John Cena vs. Rikishi - 3/27/03 Smackdown
4. John Cena vs JBL - 5/22/05 Judgement Day (I Quit Match - Bloodfest)
5. 6 Man tag - 6/27/05 Raw
6. John Cena vs. RVD - 6/11/06 One Night Stand (Cena was threatened by an entire ECW audience - A must see)
7. John Cena vs Edge - 9/17/06 Unforgiven (TLC Match)
The bonus section is a collection of other off the mat pieces of his life such as coin collecting, car racing and other landmark in ring moments such as his return to OVW, the feud with K-Fed, and a couple of odd Wrestlemania moments. I personally think these moments could've been incorporated into the documentary instead of the more boring bits that were there.
Disc 3
Not much to say other than this is a collection of his very popular webisodes that aired on [...] in 2006. I'm not 100% sure we needed an entire disc of this as it could've been very easily edited down to a "best of" segment with the more funny moments. This disc is what it is and can be very long and boring unless you know which segment is your favorite. This disc is what knocked down the score for the entire set for me in an otherwise entertaining set.
In conclusion, this is John Cena's life not yours, mine or the WWE's and to see the many different aspects of the man behind the facade is quite refreshing and it lets you and I get to know the man behind the muscle a little better.
Movie Review: Honest Review From Anti-Cena WWE Fan
Summary: 4 Stars
John Cena's Performances Have Been Disappointing After His Match With JBL At Judgement Day 2005, Which I Believe Was Cena's Last Great Match (As Far As Cena's Performance). Dull Match After Dull Match, Unoriginal Promo After Unoriginal Promo. What Happened To His Days As A Ruthless Heel Or The Entertaining United States Champion? Post Judgement Day 2005 His Range Narrowed And Let His Political Views Affect His Matches Too Much. This Way He Doesn't Have To Worry About Being Entertaining And Could Just Think He Is Like Ric Flair And Use The Fans Irritation Towards Him To Somehow Be A "Strong Powerhouse". Well He Is No Ric Flair Or Triple H, Ric Flair & Triple H Actually Make It A Point To Be Entertaining.
Anyway, Personal Opinion Aside, The Documentary On This Set Is Really Good. You Got To See His Great Career Before Wrestling And His Entrance Into Wrestling. And An Interesting Part Of His Career As Prototype (Since I Never Knew About It Before I Watched This DVD).
I Disagree With The Opinion That You Have To Be A John Cena Fan To Enjoy The Car Segments. This Is The First Time Ever Seen Something Interesting Coming From Cena's Mouth Since Judgment Day 2005. Through His Car Collection Cena Finally Shows Some Personality. I Rented This DVD On Netflix, However, if You Are Considering Buying This DVD Set Do Not Get It For The Matches, As There Are Only 7 Of Them. I Own The Later 4 Matches Of This DVD On Other DVDs, And Im Assuming Many Others Probably Have Them Already Also.

Movie Review: Awesome deal!
Summary: 4 Stars
This item was was priced a lot higher everywhere else I looked. I am always on the hunt for a great deal!Movie Review: Even the hardcore Cena fan will be disappointed with this set
Summary: 3 Stars
Seeing as how John Cena has been the franchise player in WWE for the last three years, it seems only right that WWE dedicate a three-disc DVD set to him. The DVD includes a documentary tracing Cena's life and career thus far, seven of his best matches, and a lot of extras, including a detailed look at his car and military coin collections and every installment of the popular "5 Questions With the Champ" webcast. That seems like a lot, but in the end, even the hardcore Cena fan will be left disappointed by this set. The documentary is pretty solid, focusing on Cena's childhood, his adventures in college, in bodybuilding and his rise as a professional wrestler. The look at his car collection is pretty interesting as well, as Cena holds some beautiful rides in his possession. The rest of the set, however, falls flat.
The second disc is dedicated to seven of Cena's best matches, in their entirety, complete with a brief commentary by Cena himself before each of them. The matches touch on every portion of his career: his OVW days (vs. Randy Orton), as a gritty up-and-comer in WWE (vs. Rikishi, Chris Jericho), and as WWE Champion (vs. JBL, RVD, Edge). Each match is symbolic of an important moment in his wrestling career, but viewers will feel simply underwhelmed after running through the match section, a portion which is usually the meat of WWE's 3-disc anthology sets.
The third disc only leaves viewers more disappointed, as the disc is simply every installment of Cena's "5 Questions with the Champ" webcast, over fifteen ten-minute segments featuring Cena ranting and raving while answering fan mail. These segments are generally amusing, but WWE could have used this third disc to include more matches, some of Cena's infamous promos or rap battles, or even more deleted scenes from the documentary.
In the end, the set starts off strong but just falls flat with the second and third discs. Still, for 20 bucks, you'll get plenty of bang for your buck.
