To end all of this... The worst WWE DVD is.... {Spoiler} You can all go home now. Goodnight. I have always wanted that but never bought it. What was wrong with it? The fact that its nothing but Titantrons with a total run time of 30 minutes. I just didn't see what the point of it was then, or now. Even at the time I'm sure you could watch any of those on wwe.com.

I love that it's only Volume 1, like it's going to set the world on fire with its franchise.

I know opinions are subjective, but anything other than the Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior is the wrong answer.

Wait, could we at least get some reasons as to why they're bad? I enjoyed the Doc on the Mr. Perfect disc. Same for Rise and Fall of WCW, even though it's pretty much a burial. I didn't like the Undertaker DVD because it just seemed like an excuse to put a bunch of previously unreleased matches on a set. They completely skip 2000-2004. There's also a random Big Show match from 1999 that was only 2:44. Other matches vs Kama, Heidenreich and Mabel are so awful. It was just a mess. There's some matches I'd like on a DVD set, such as vs Kurt Angle from Fully Loaded 2000, the Brothers of Destruction vs Two Man Power Trip from Backlash 2001, vs RVD from Vengeance 2001. Especially since the scratch logo is acceptable. Now, I do agree with you on the Deadliest Matches. My main gripe about that was that, like you said, they completely skip the American Bad Ass/Big Evil era (and it's not like they don't care for that era, since they always like showing Undertaker's sinister mirth after he chokeslammed Rikishi onto the back of that truck), when a new dimension of the character was opened that allowed to further explore Undertaker's involvment in stipulation matches, which would've been a happy fit into the collection. In fact, I would've loved for them to have had Undertaker vs. Jeff Hardy from RAW in 2002, which was one of the greatest main events in the history of that show. But... I will admit that I do like the Great Khali match, especially since there aren't a lot of collection DVDs featuring him. I haven't bothered watching the nWo DVD because I do consider it a waste, especially since they could've explained the origin of the idea (Bischoff exploring the iUPW/New Japan angle... or whatever that shoot-fighting company was, since I don't have my copy of "Death of WCW" on me right now), why Hogan became the third member, possible self-admissions to mistakes in the storyline (allowing anybody to join, WCW often made incompetent), and, of course, exploring the pivotal feuds that made the mark (ESPECIALLY the Hogan/Sting program).

The True Story of Wrestlemania Came here to post this and the aforementioned new nWo DVD. Was not a fan of either. Also the former's title is a misnomer, given the made up facts they continuously come up with.

The Attitude Era dvd/blu ray was pretty bad. The documentary was nothing but "hey, remember___x___? Wasn't ___x___ so cool? Speaking of ___x___, remember ____y____? That was also cool. What about when _____z______ did that thing?" Also, Vince Russo appears in the documentary for about 6 seconds. If you're going to do a documentary about the Attitude Era, you might want to use more footage of the head booker of this time period.

I liked The True Story of Wrestlemania , especially the part where they talk about the sound in stadiums compared to arenas and how it effects the wrestlers in the ring

Yeah, I know people who aren't into wrestling at all but own that DVD solely because it's essentially a documentary about a bunch of people shared stories of their mutual dislike for an absolutely nutzoid co-worker. Who wouldn't love that?

The best of the intercontinental championship.
It should have been called "some random old HBK matches".

The nWo documentary started off interesting, but then it became pretty evident that not many people involved with the nWo/WCW at the time really wanted to talk about it in depth (or couldn't remember since Nash admitted in shoots that he, Hall, and Syxx were drunk out of their mind during group promos). I mean, I think Cody Rhodes was the most interviewed guy in the documentary and he was a 12 year-old kid at the time of the nWo.
The Rise and Fall of WCW was hurt by how many people declined to take part in it. I remember the list of people they approached and it was really disappointing how many guys said no or were in TNA at the time. Only guy who was really added interesting perspectives was Kevin Sullivan.
I think the AWA one was lacking as well. Maybe it's because not as many people involved with the AWA were around, but the documentary to me just became Greg Gagne saying how so-and-so left AWA for the WWF without giving notice or finishing dates. As somebody who was not alive for the AWA and loves wrestling history, it was a disappointing purchase to me.

ECW's most extreme matches. Only three/four of them were any good. The rest lived down to the stereotype of ECW being a gore filled spot fest.

Thoughts? I thought Undertakers Deadliest Matches was really bad. It's like they actually picked the worst matches of his career.

Y'know, I still really don't see outside of the title where the Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior is all that insulting. It has plenty of good things said about him, it just happens to have some criticism mixed in for once. And really, wish WWE would do something like that more often, makes things more interesting.
I'd say The World's Greatest Wrestling Managers. That one is just boring, the matches included are mostly pretty bad, and there are a lot of baffling choices in who they decided to spotlight.

The one I watched was only old ECW with commentary in between matches with Paul Heyman.

It seems you're talking about Bloodspot: ECW's Most Violent Matches, which I own but haven't watched yet. (admission: I find ECW to be extremely boring).
