Did anyone else pick this up today? It's quite nostalgic so far. But I'm only on the first disc.
I'm a bit disappointed that Jesse Ventura's commentary WASN'T removed from the Hogan/Bundy match just because the idea of Lord Alfred Hayes and Elvira talking to each other would have been hilarious.
Anyone else have thoughts or comments on this set?

Havent picked it up yet but the fact that your on disc 1 and they are already on Hogan/Bundy leaves me to think they rushed thru some of the best years.

Good idea for a set, but disappointing for collectors like me. ;D

Be sure to check out Pat Patterson's "zombie walk" behind Elizabeth during her entrance at Wrestlemania 5 lol
Also for those looking for the cheapest place to pick this up, Best Buy has it for $19.99

So, Jesse's commentary IS on the DVD? That would mean his commentary will probably be on the Hogan and Piper DVDs as well.
I'm still waiting for mine. Should get it in a couple of weeks.

Yes, Jesse Ventura is on every match that he's supposed to be. Even the non-Wrestlemania matches that are included.

I just got back from Wal Mart and I'm about to watch it right now. Some matches I have seen...some I haven't seen in years...some I have seen only once.
Take this Note though of the Attitude Era Stars on the DVD
HHH and Foley has two matches Angle, Michaels, Austin has threee matches The Rock has 4 matches
All voted by the fans....Hmmm. I'll be back later. I need to eat these hot wings and wedges before they get cold. I think I'll start with um...Macho Man Randy Savage vs Hulk Hogan at WM 5. I haven't seen that match in YEARS.

So there is NO documentary feature of any kind to accompany these matches? That is disappointing to say the least. I might have bought it for that, but why spend $20-$30 on the SAME matches over and over? It's a fools game.

How is the interactive timeline?
What annoys me about this set is not just repeating the same matches but the fact that the decade of the 90s, which produced the best WWF Championship matches in the history of the company is practically ignored. 1998-1999 were the peak years of the Attitude Era and there's only one match from that time on the set. The Rock and Foley had a great feud where they exchanged the WWF Championship five times and wrestled in at least three classic matches and the feud is not representated at all.
Hart, Michaels, Austin, Rock, and Foley provided the WWF Championship with its greatest matches.

I just watched the time line. I don't see what was interactive about it. Basically it showed the ending to every WWF/E Championship title change INCLUDING the house show where Diesel won the title! Actually the first couple of title changes are not shown and instead there is just a description of what went down. I don't know if they just didn't film them or if the footage has been lost.

Does it show the end to the match where Taker won it from Austin? That was at Over The Edge where Owen died and I don't know if they would put that on there or not
