Wwe: The True Story of Wrestlemania

I was there Wrestlemania 1 we as fans waited years for an event where every fued was settled in one show, one event. Cable was in itsInfancy. The business had not yet been sold as Entertainment. Add Liberace, MR. T., Cyndi Lauper, Piper storyline & how it all materialized.Pure Genius all the planets aligned for this Event. It was a Pop Culture Phenomenon.The Mystique of the business, chracther's was at a fever pitch. The Irresistible force meets the E-Moveable object which was going to prevail. You just did not know. There was No Internet, No Television Special, No Shhot Interview shows, No Podcast.No way to get the inside scope you had to attend the event. What a day at the Waterbury Palace theater 4,500 strongwatching on a Drive in like screen the crowd came unglued when Piper & T. locked up. This documentary captures the excitement, the historical significanceof the greatest Sports spectacle ever. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ you will enjoy the behind the scenes info, rare interviews. Truly one of the better WWWF/WWF/WWE Rassilin documentaries!The CruzerCt

Quick Review: This video comes in at just over 2 hours long and being able to squeeze over 25 years of amazing moments into this time would be tough, but I think they did it justice without going into too much detail to bore people. How they managed to jump between the different Wrestlemania's without just going through the numbers is great in my opinion, as it keeps it fresh and you don't know where it will go next. However there are some Wrestlemania's that I don't think they showed enough clips of and seem to skip straight through it.The True Story of Wrestlemania is an extremely well crafted and polished documentary that does the legacy and history of Wrestlemania proud, this is a must for any WWE fan. Buy it or rent it, just watch it.

As with most WWE Dvds there could've been more here. More footage... More attention to certain years... More attention to certain matches and highlights... More background and behind the scenes stuff... But it is what it says it is and they do touch upon a little bit of everything. Not necessarily something I'm personally gonna watch more than a handful of times but that doesn't mean it's not good. They do a good job of keeping everything in chronological order and talk to some of the people individually involved with each event. Altogether a solid effort and worth the price at least.

For a period of time WWE was known for its amazing Documentaries that include usually over an hour long documentary followed by 2 more discs of matches highlighting and backing up the documentary on which it was about. In recent years WWE has been very very lazy with its documentaries often rehashing interviews and having run times of less than an hour. I have not been a Wrestling fan for quiet some time but I was once again inserted into this grand sport after the HUGE inclusion of the Rock finally returning to the WWE to host its 27th WrestleMania event. With my excitement peaked again I decided to check out this DVD and I must say I was quiet impressed. Firstly over 80% of the documentary was brand new footage as well as never before seen footage (I.E The build up backstage to WrestleMania 9). This documentary talked about the greatest achievements of WrestleMania while at the same time managing to be both informative and entertaining. I had always known Celebrities to play a certain role in WrestleMania but until this DVD I did not have any idea just how much or an important role figures like Tyson, Ali, Mr.T, etc etc all played in getting people interested into WrestleMania and made it the huge success it is. My first Wrestlemania was 22 and the first Big time celebrity I remember watching was Floyd "Money" Mayweather and looking back I remember just how HUGE of a deal it was that he was going to be fighting the giant Big Show and it made me remember how many people were talking about that match on TV. I never realized it but WrestleMania probably would not be here today if it was not for the celebrities who have taken part of it. Secondly I was more than impressed at the running time of this documentary putting in close to 2 hours worth of footage, it really seemed like WWE tried with this one. My only true problem was how during the WrestleMania 20 conversation Chris Benoit was neglected. I understand the whole subject is still taboo even after all these years but no matter what Chris Benoit was the main event of WrestleMania 20 and nothing can change that. The majority of matches where all matches I have seen before but WWE did a pretty good choice selection managing to include some recent hits (HBK VS TAKER, CENA VS HHH) as well as the matches we have seen on 50 other dvds (Hogan/Andre for one). This DVD definitely deserves some praise because I can really sense WWE tried hard with this one. You can tell this is not some half as* Documentary that WWE studios threw together in 20 minutes.This is something any WrestleMania fan should atleast rent.

I definitely enjoyed this DVD, because it gives you a great background on what the landscape was back in the day and what Wrestlemania had to go through in order to be successful and be the great event that it is today. It also includes some of the greatest matches that WrestleMania had to offer like the Austin vs HBK battle in 98', Macho Man vs Ricky Steamboat and of course the great TLC match between the Hardy's, Edge & Christian and the Dudley's in 2000.

Great detail story of wrestlemania.

I enjoyed the documentary. It was in-depth and covered alot of years in a concise way. Not all of the major matches were talked about, but for the most part, it was a good documentary.The special features were okay. Alot of the matches are on other collections. If your a fan like myself, my wrestling library is big so most of the matches I had already. Kudos though for adding the first taker vs. shawn match from WM25. I would have liked to see more in-depth footage from behind the scenes as part of the special features, rather than just show the matches.All in all, I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10.

This product I was given I disc that went with it and 1 that came from another dvd set. When I sent in comment got no response.

The main feature is very long winded and sometimes boring. I thought it would be more of a detailed shoot interview but it's mostly a WWE hype video.The bonus matches do make up for it though. If you like to own those classic matches on Blu Ray then this is a good package to have.Includes Razor Vs Michaels ladder match at WM 10

This blu-ray is best for the matches it contains than for the 'story'. It was 'ok' - but nothing more. There were not any huge revelations or exclusive behind the scenes moments that it seems to promise. I'm glad it's part of my collection - but I wouldn't miss it if I did't have it as I own all the wrestlemanias anyway. The fact that it's blue-ray doesn't have a great impact on the the picture, I've seen a dvd version and the differences will only matter to people who point out every little detail change.Overall I got the feeling that there is much more they're not giving us and are saving for some future release (after Wrestlemania XXX?!). If you can't wait that long then by all means give this a shot - but, be warned, it's like eating candy floss - it seems substantial but when you try and get your teeth into it you realise there's not much there.
