Movie Reviews of WWE - Twist of Fate: The Matt and Jeff Hardy Story
Movie Review: Xtreme!
Summary: 4 Stars
2008 has been a banner year for WWE DVD releases. With match anthologies already releases this year for Steve Austin, Triple H, & The Rock. As good as reliving those classic matches again and again are, I have been longing for some of the WWE's superbly produced documentaries instead. Some prime past examples includes documentaries on Bret Hart, Jake Roberts, ECW, and the AWA. Now we get not one, but two of them in the two disc release of Twist of Fate: The Matt and Jeff Hardy Story.
WWE already released a Hardy Boyz documentary on the tag team itself several years ago, so this time each disc is dedicated to each Hardy. Of the two features, I found Matt's to cover more ground. Both documentaries spend a good deal of time showcasing the Hardyz breaking into the WWE scene as opening card contenders who almost always lost. This footage shows how far these two have come in the WWE, rarely do wrestlers nowadays break in as the Hardyz did, and it was intriguing to see these two modern superstars get tossed around by the likes of Kama and Nikolai Volkoff in the mid-90s.
Matt's feature also covers a bit more of the Hardyz tag team history, with their rise through the then-amazing tag team ranks of the late 1990s/early 2000s. Those moments brought back many fond memories when WWE actually cared about their tag team division. Aside from the tag team background, Matt's feature clocks in with a wealthy amount of content on his first singles run on Smackdown in 2002-2003 with a helping of "Mattitude" highlights at its side. Of course, there is the whole behind-the-scenes Matt/Edge/Lita love triangle covered in-depth. Matt appears to have mellowed down from the drama that took place three years ago, but still he and Edge provide some interesting insight on the fiasco that led to Matt's firing and prompt rehiring, where the WWE brought the love triangle to their television storylines and brought out some memorable matches between Edge & Matt.
If you were going in to Jeff's disc expecting an intense look at his wrestling career, than you may find Jeff's documentary a little underwhelming. Since Matt's disc devotes more time to the tag team era, Jeff's story focuses more on his unorthodox lifestyle. This feature gives a taste what a day of the extraordinary life of Jeff Hardy is like. Jeff shows off a lot of his unique art work, mummified sculptures, original compositions and his custom dirt bike track. Interesting indeed, but given the fact that Jeff's feature is about a good 15 minutes shorter than Matt's, it is surprising to see about half of Jeff's documentary dedicated to it.
Jeff does reflect on his big 2002 singles run which saw a WWE Title main event against Undertaker on RAW. Unfortunately his big run got cut off as how Jeff admits he got wrapped up in the world of drugs, which culminated in his release in 2003. I would have preferred more insight on what transpired behind the scenes here, but Jeff mostly dodges around the facts and gives the basics and sums up that he got back into ring shape by taking a year off and spending time at home. He briefly touches on his TNA run, which then landed him a job back in WWE in 2006. Interesting to hear how Jeff got back into the WWE, but again, Jeff seemed limited in what he was allowed to say here, as they rushed through covering how we was working in a different promotion. It is worth noting that the shooting for this DVD wrapped up shortly before Jeff got suspending for failing a drug test this year, which followed coincidentally with his home burning down a few days later, so don't be surprised to see that none of that is covered here.
Since this is a WWE video release, both discs feature several bonus matches in their entirety. These mostly consist of single matches, but there are a couple tag team matches thrown in (including one from the old Hardy-run indy promotion, OMEGA) for good measure. Some notable single matches are Matt's cage match against Edge from Unforgiven 2005, Jeff's cage match with Umaga from earlier this year, Matt's grudge match against Kane from Vengeance 2004, and Jeff's bout with Triple H from Armageddon 2007. Most of the other matches aren't as spectacular, but should still provide plenty of thrills for any Hardy fan.
Even though Jeff's feature is a mild letdown (yet still worth a viewing), both documentaries combine to form a nice package. Throw in the bonus matches and you got one heck of a DVD set that every Hardy fan must see.
