The match listing could have been a little better.

Why in the openings from like the 90s saying that it has been 50 years of WWF, when it was like 30ish.

urgg, a Lashley match makes it onto this?
Hope the early stuff will be interesting though, now that bridges have been built with Bruno.

The match listing could have been a little better. Not really. They picked stuff that played a big part in the company's history. They did a great job of that. Although, I'm baffled about the Punk/Cena Raw match from this year. This DVD is more documentary orientated.

I would of added a Rock and Austin match and possibly the once in a lifetime match.

While the MITB one had the crowd, it really wasn't all that great a match compared to the Raw one.

Did they come to some sort of settlement with Martha? I can't see them dedicating a whole chapter to him without it.

Interesting...no rarities and Hogan vs. Andre is on its 654th DVD. At least they didn't repeat the Ladder Match for the 1083th time, though. I am guessing this will be more about the stories than the matches. So we shall see how that pans out.
Also intrigued about a chapter for Owen. I wonder if any of the other young deaths will be mentioned (doubt it, and definitely not the other elephant in the WWE's room as far as mortality goes)

Never again."

That Cena/Punk match is worth the buy on its own.

I'm really looking forward to this, especially now that we have an entire chapter dedicated to Owen and then the steroid trial. This should be an imporant BR/DVD to watch and reference to in the future.
They really should cover at least some of the Benoit stuff that led them to take concussions and Wellness more seriously. I think that's a significant change they've made that deserves discussion, and they can spin it in a way that makes them look good, too. Maybe they will, who knows. Sure as hell would be more important to discuss than the stupid movie studio stuff they talk about in every doc now.
Match listing is about what you'd expect (Yoko vs Koko aside...wtf?), and I'm fine with that. They need to have Hogan/Andre and some of the big matches everyone probably has one or two copies of just because of the nature of this release. You're going to get people who seldom buy WWE DVDs to check this out. I do think they needed one more match from the 70s and 80s, though. And they definitely should've included a Daniel Bryan match on this just to show the sort of in-progress future we're in the middle of. Taker/Kane/Bryan vs The Shield would've sufficed, maybe as the BR exclusive over Mayweather/Show? I love that HBK/Taker is the other exclusive, though. I only have that one in standard def. Definitely a perfect 'big match' to include.

It's stretching it, but Koko vs. Yoko *does* have some significance since it was the very first match of the very first RAW.

This is probably my latent optimism leaking through...but I'm really hoping this is an amazing documentary. They've been knocking them out of the park as of late, though.

They've been knocking them out of the park as of late, though.The nWo and Attitude era documentaries were bitter disappointments, and way too short. The Foley and Punk ones were great though, so I hope this documentary is more in line with those.
