Superb Cage Match Compilation From WWE!.......2003-11-28

The "Steel Cage" Match is considered one of the most brutal, bloody and exciting match types in sports entertainment. Now for the first time, WWE pay tribute to the finest steel cage bouts in wrestling history! WWE has gone through many changes over the years, but on this DVD, they've wisely included matches from their WWWF days (World Wide Wrestling Federation), their WWF days (which includes bouts from the early 90's and the "Attitude Era") and their more recent "Get The F Out" transformation. As well as all this, there's also some archive NWA (before they were renamed WCW) footage to savour!

WWE have also made a conscious effort not to make the main feature nothing more than a series of matches. Instead, they've given it more of a "TV Show"-style approach. Entitled "Blood Bath", the compilation is presented by The Coach from the WWE studio.

Coach takes us through each of the matches in turn, sometimes giving the viewer a little insight into how the match came about. In edited format (some more so than others), we see Bob Backlund VS Pat Patterson (1979), Bruno Sammartino VS Larry Zbysko (1980), Bob Backlund VS Jimmy Snuka (1980), Jimmy Snuka VS Don Muraco (1983), Magnum TA VS Tully Blanchard ("I Quit" rules, 1985), Hulk Hogan VS Paul Orndorff (1987), Ric Flair VS Ron Garvin (1987), Bret Hart VS Owen Hart (1994), Isaac Yankem VS Bret Hart (1995), HHH VS Mankind (1997), HHH VS The Rock (1999), Stone Cold VS Mr McMahon (1999), Edge & Christian VS The Hardy Boyz (2000), Kurt Angle VS Chris Benoit (2001), and Edge VS Kurt Angle (2002).

Due to the editing, it is sometimes hard to get into the flow of some of the matches, and the "Attitude Era" ones in particular (from 1999-2001) are heavily trimmed, obviously due to the court case with The World Wildlife Fund. On the subject of "WWF Attitude", it's very surprising to see The Rock's steel cage scuffle with HHH from the UK event, Rebellion 99' included on this DVD (WWE hardly ever make a big deal out of UK events, and The Rock and HHH even had a cage match on Raw in the U.S. that could have been included).

However, allot of these matches are featured in their entirity on disc 2 anyway. Also, between the matches, we occasionally get comments from the likes of Spike Dudley, Tommy Dreamer, Jerry Lawler and Gerald Briscoe about that particular match.

The DVD extras alone make this a worthy purchase. The matches offered in full are Backlund VS Patterson (a fair, but not too spectacular match), Snuka VS Muraco (a good bout with a memorable finish), Magnum TA VS Blanchard (a brutal, bloody, gripping affair), Bret Hart VS Owen Hart (possibly the best cage match ever), HHH VS Mankind (highly entertaining fare), and Edge VS Angle (exciting TV match).

There's also some different matches to be found as extras (Sammartino VS Ivan Koloff, Backlund VS Stan Hansen, Flair VS Dusty Rhodes, Rock N' Roll Express VS Andersons, Shawn Michaels VS Marty Jannetty). All these matches are good in their own way, apart from Sammartino VS Koloff (which is terrible).

the same footage...........2003-07-16

This DVD is great and brilliant for any fans of WWE 'specially edge and christian, and the hardy boyz. My one critism would be if you are buying the hardy boyz DVD along with this, be prepared that the same footage used in this DVD is used in the hardy boys leap of faith (faith or fate?).

An Eye Opener.......2002-05-17

As I sat down to watch this DVD I thought it had the ability to be pretty boring, I mean who wants to hear when Kurt Angle learnt to walk? Or when did Lita finish potty training? Well I certainly didn't and that is exactly what I didn't get. This DVD showcases the lives of numerous WWE superstars, including the Hardyz, Lita, Stacy Kiebler, Bradshaw, Spike Dudley, Kurt Angle, Molly Holly and most memorably our home grown good-will ambassador to the USA, William Regal. The paths that these people took to the WWE are extremely varied, especially for Spike Dudley. Funny anicdotes are a plenty and any fan of the WWE will find themselves chuckling as I did, especially whilst hearing Bradshaw describe his Brown Bear wrestling! The DVD extras are fantastic showing some of the featured superstars' debuts and best moments. A great buy for any fan of the WWE!
