WWE True Story of WrestleMania 3-Disc DVD Set!! Review.. B+


Good Morning... Last night I was browsing in Stores in Manhattan after work, and i went to one of my Favorite DVD Spots and I came across a DVD set The Blew me away by just looking at it. The name of The DVD Set is entitled: WWE The True Story of WrestleMania!!. Now This DVD is a 3-Disc Set, and it's not set to release until 3/15/2011, and that's just a Week and a Half away. The Price of The Set, when i paid for it was $24.99, but when it is Set to release, it's Probably going to be $29.99, or if it's on Sale at your major retail stores it's going to be between $17.99 or $19.99, So in the long run it's still a bargain. I saw The Documentary, and was very intriqued about it, because one thing came across my mind was how many WWE Superstars and Former Superstars and Hall of Famers were going to be in this program. The Documentary Starts off with a montage of past Wrestlemania's and the program was narrated by Keith david. Keith David is a Movie actor, he played in such movies as Pitch Black & The Chronicles of Riddick, and also Plays Max in the cape Television Series. When The program was in Full swing, and The Montage Finished, The program Starts in the Year 1984, Vince Mcmahon was already a promotor, and Vince Mcmahon Senior Sold his Territory to his son. In The Begining, The Idea of Wrestlemania was only a Vision, Vice Mcmahon want to put together a Wrestling Event like no other in the Wrestling Business. Vince wanted to combine Wrestling, and Other forms of Entertainment in the mix, hense The Rock-N-Wrestling Years, with Cindy Lauper and The Incredible Hulk Hogan. The Name Wrestlemania didn't come from Vince Mcmahon, it came from another WWE Hall Of Famer, but back then the Hall of Fame was only a Dream, and The individual was a young ring annoucer by the of Howard finkle. Howard Finkle aka The Fink came up with the Name Wrestlemania during a meeting with Vince Mcmahon and Hulk Hogan. This was a little taste of the Program, i'm sorry but i can't tell you all of what happens in this Documentary. But i will say this, Over the Course of this program, you'll see curtain jumps in between the Anniverary topic. When they talk about WrestleMania III, They'll jump to WrestleMania XXIII. They'll also Talk about WrestleMania X, then Jump to WrestleMania XX, so that's what you'll see in this program, also when you watch WrestleMania XX, you'll Notice that They'll only show you from the start of WrestleMania XX to The WWE Championship Match with The late Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle That when it cuts off and goes to WrestleMania XI, They didn't add The World Heavyweight Championship Triple Threat match between Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H, the Reason well it's obvious, Vince Mcmahon Eliminated all Knowledge and accomplishments of Chris Benoit, so That also what happens in the program. Now I will however let you know that there are Eleven matches from past WrestleMania's in it entirity, and it goes as Follows...

One match that i'm happy to say that isn't on disc 2 is The Iron Man Match for The WWE Championship between Bret Hart vs. Shawn michaels. This match was way Over Blown by the WWE, and was put on So many WWE DVDs in the past.

This DVD Set is a Huge Must for any WWE fan or Fan of Pro Wrestling Period, it is a Huge piece of our history as far as Entertainment. So My Rating for This DVD set is a B+.

I Feel that there should've Been at least 30 Matches in total because there were more than eleven matches that were Classics.
