Movie Reviews of WWE - The New & Improved DX
Movie Review: Superstar Series- The Extended Cut
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been a wrestling fan since 1996 and have watched all kinds of wrestling. I have a wrestling DVD/VHS collection spanning over 50 all together. This is the most complete and accurate review of this DVD you will find. I hope you find this review helpful; remember to vote helpful or not helpful. (Note-Each DVD I review has a "Match of the DVD" award somewhere in it.)
The New and Improved DX
Do you remember when WWE used to put out hour-long DVDs over a segment of a superstar's career? Some of them were great; I gave Mick Foley Hard Knocks & Cheap Pops five stars. Most of them meddled in the three star range though. The New and Improved DX is like a extended cut of those DVDs. You do not get only an hour to highlight a period of DX, but you get three slam-packed DVDs on their outing in 2006.
Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels feuded in early 2006. Vince asked Triple H to take out Shawn Michaels, but instead ended up helping Shawn. This would be a quick transition into the new D-Generation X. Shawn and Triple H would feud with the likes of Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, Big Show, and Rated RKO for the rest of 2006 and early 2007. DX was extremely different from the many other versions from the Attitude Era. This time they were more goofy and child-friendly. This is not a bad thing; it is just different.
The DVD set is pretty cool. Even the casing is creative. It has pop-up versions of Shawn and Triple H doing the suck-it signs. The DVD has nearly every single DX segment in full. One thing I loved about this set is many of the superstar's that commented on DX were low-card wrestlers. This includes Trevor Murdoch, Carlito, and Spirit Squad. This set also has tons of matches in full. Most of these matches are just Raw matches that are not very good. I prefer this rather than having a bunch of clips. Now you never have to wonder if the match is good, you know because you saw it. Some of the TV matches even allow you to see what was going on during the commercial. The only good matches are this set are the PPV matches. I will give you people a match-by-match review of the PPV matches only. Just remember that these are not the only matches on the set.
Handicap Match (Vengeance 2006)
DX VS Spirit Squad
DX put on a fantastic showing in their first PPV match back. The match is a comedy match. Vince McMahon felt that with an advantage, Spirit Squad would have no problem beating DX. He is sadly mistaken though. One member of Spirit Squad puts on a headband and does some martial arts moves. This match is all good fun.
RATING- 7.5/10
DX VS Mr. McMahon & Shane McMahon (Summerslam 2006)
Before the match even begins, DX is assaulted by Finlay, Mr. Kennedy, Regal, and Big Show. Mr. McMahon and Shane enter the ring after and take complete control. They even dish out a couple sweet double team moves. The match itself is not that great, but it has its moments.
RATING- 7/10
Hell in a Cell- Handicap Match (Unforgiven 2006) (Match of the DVD)
DX VS Mr. McMahon/Shane McMahon/Big Show
This match is just what Hell in a Cell needed. This Hell in a Cell is completely different from other Hell in a Cell matches. The match is taken seriously, but has a comedic edge to it all. All men in the match bleed except for Big Show. The ending is probably one of the most unique and appropriate endings I have ever seen.
RATING- 8.5/10
Special Referee- Eric Bischoff (Other Choices- Mr. McMahon, Coach) (Cyber Sunday 2006)
DX VS Edge & Randy Orton
Eric Bischoff had been hinting a return of nWo, which is probably why the fans chose him as the referee. Bischoff played a small role in the match until the end. The match is slow and lacks anything good about it. I expected a much better match from these four superstars.
RATING- 5/10
Classic Survivor Series Elimination Match (Survivor Series 2006)
DX/Team Extreme/CM Punk VS Edge/Orton/Nitro/Helms/Knox
CM Punk steals DX's spotlight before and during the match. The crowd is hot for him. Knox is eliminated seconds into the match. There is so decent action during the match, but a huge problem comes in the result. I try not to give away the finish to a match too often, but it is a key to you understanding the score. The match is a shutout. One of the teams dominated the entire match. Considering the talent in the ring, this should not have been done.
RATING- 6/10
That is the end of the matches. It is also the end of the final disk as well. This set ends with Survivor Series 2006. Even though DX only last two more months, they opted to leave those two months out. This is annoying, and frankly pointless. I wanted to give this set four stars for its great presentation and content, but it lacked the final months of DX's reunion. This three-disk set is probably good for anyone who loved DX's return in 2006. The rest of us should not even bother with The New and Improved DX. If you are looking for information on the old DX, check out WWE: D-Generation-X.
