A Great DVD.......2004-03-28
This DVD includes 188 minutes of amazing footage of Rey Mysterio, including segments on his tattoos, home, Mexico, and much more. 10 of the additional DVD extras include some of the best matches Rey has ever had (both from WCW and WWE).
This is a DVD which I could watch again and again - it's full of variety and doesn't just focus on his wrestling career.
It's an amazing DVD based on the no.1 cruiserweight in the WWE today.
Who's That Jumpin' Out The Sky?.......2003-10-02
Although Rey Mysterio hasn't been in WWE for too long, there was still plenty of resources available to tell his story in full (thanks to the use of old WCW footage). This profile takes us back to those WCW days and Rey's humble beginnings in the wrestling business, and of course, takes us up to his debut year in WWE.
Throughout highlights of his career, Rey offers his own thoughts on a variety of subjects, such as the importance of his family and what the luchador mask means to him. We also get a tour of Rey's house in California and learn where the moves "619" and "West Coast Pop" came from.
However, two rather large problems with this DVD is the fact that Rey's knee injury (which is focused on at the beginning) is treated like it really occurred at the hands of A-Train (then Albert). Rey is shown in a hospital discussing his recovery and can then be heard vowing revenge on the bald bozo, when in reality, the injury occurred due to years of wear and tear in the ring.
Another irritating fault is the fact that Rey's face is constantly distorted whenever he has his mask removed, even though anyone who watched WCW from 1999-2001 (and anyone who reads independent wrestling mags) would have seen his face without the mask on countless occassions (incidentally, footage from WCW where he was unmasked has not been included on this tape/DVD).
Fortunately, the extras pack a real punch. There's some stunning Cruiserweight matches from WCW included, as well as his more recent WWE clashes, a Confidential piece and even some hidden extras (Just press Left on your control whenever you select any of his WCW matches to get different WWE debut promo videos).
Rey's first WWE DVD/VHS could have been allot better, but there's still enough entertainment here for it to be worthy of its price tag. Mysterio's old WCW fans and his new WWE fans will be impressed.
The nicest man in the WWE, unless your name is Albert........2003-07-17
The coolest and most exciting wrestler in the WWE today, and after watching this, probably the nicest and most down to earth with it. You get over an hour of cool, high flying moves, you get to see Rey at home with his family, Rey in hospital having knee surgery and you get to see Rey back where it all began at his old gym. The usual WWE stuff, plenty of footage of Rey's early WCW days, plenty of the last year leading up to WM X9, but strangely, or predictably maybe, a whole five year chunk of footage is missing. Why does this always seem to happen on WWE releases? Nevermind, does't harm the overall product too much. Add to all that, you get about two hours worth of wrestling in the extras to go with it, not bad at all.
The life of the human highlight-reel.......2003-07-15
Whos that jumpin out the sky? R..E...Y Mysterio.
This DVD charts Rey Mysterio's intrest in wrestling from when he was a young age to his WCW debute through to his attempt to capture cruiserweight gold at wrestlemania X9 against Matt Hardy version 1.0. Rey not only talks about his wrestling but also takes the audience back to where it began the ring he trained in with his Uncle Rey Mysterio the first Arena that he wrestled in and recalls some memories including when he saw his uncle unmask. The DVD comes with 10 bonus matches including his debute at the great American bash in 1996 against Dean Malenko, his 1st cruiserweight championship win against Malenko, The mask vs Tittle match against Eddie Guerrero at Haloween Havoc in 1997, when he finnaly made his long awaited WWE debute on smackdown (23.7.2002) and in one of the best matches of 2002 when he faced Kurt Angle at summerslam. There is also a special confidential interview. He also takes the time to talk about his leg injury he sustained at the end of 2002 after a vicious atack from the A-Train. This is defintly worth watching Rey Mysterio is amazing and its hard to believe all the things he can do in the ring and all of his accomplishments from when he started wrestling at the young age of 14 to the present day. The human highlight-reel who can fight any superstar in wrestling no matter what size they are is one of the main reason to watch WWE Smackdown everyweekand this DVD shows just how good that he is.

not the years best but still good .......2007-12-19
Following on from the excellent wrestlemania 19 which occured one month earlier,it was always going to be difficult for this pay per view to compete,if you do that then this dies a death in some ways but watch it as a singular experience and it is clear that this event is solid without moving any mountains.
The event had a format of minimalism,no last man standing matches,no first blood,no cages,no buried alive,no anything out of the ordinary and to that extent it still holds its own,opening up with a fine match between tag team champs team angle against los guerreros which was high action and had eddie guerrero in particular in fine form,when team angle tried a dirty trick the crowd booed,when eddie or chavo copied it the crowd lapped it up,this was entertaining for me and the outcome was controversial,a fine opener.
Next up was sean ohaire,(short lived or what)with roddy piper as his guide against rikashi,the match had hype about it and in some ways it lived up to it,some laughs included and a fine display from ohaire in truth.
Next up was another tag match,the champs rob van dam and kane vs the dudley boyz,this match was great again,fast,brutal,engaging and action packed,plenty of fast paced moves occured as well as savage moves,kane and rvd looked the part here and this match failed no one.
Next up was a ladies title match,the champ jazz vs trish,this match was ok,not great,jazz and trish worked well enough together but the match lacked both pace and drive but while predictable enough kept the event ticking over.
next up was a poor enough match,it didnt look good on paper and it didnt deliver upon its time,the 500 pound big show vs a less than 200 pound rey mysterio,a little bit of storyline led to this but it was never gonna last the course and this feud didnt last long,the match was over as soon as you would expect,rey giving his all in parts and the big show just taking it and then destruction,it did look good but certainly surreal when a stretchered rey was smashed into the ring post but not a match that would make anyones greatest of all time list.
Next up was the title match between an emerging john cena against the champ brock lesnar who was enjoying a fine run of success,the match was good,it wasnt perfect but had some moments of note,within a year these men would be in very different places indeed but for now this was maybe too far for cena but he cut his teeth well enough in this match,no shame in this.
Next up was the RAW card six man tag match,flair,triple h and chris jericho took the role as the villains against a team that didnt look comfortable with each other,they were made up of a returning,but not for a period of great success,kevin nash with shawn michaels and booker t,the match was filled with bad behaviour and individual battles as opposed to team work ,nash wasnt that great here and certainly looked to steal the limelight,the team of villains worked well but their oppenents let this match down so i was pleased with the outcome,not the best when you consider the quality of those involved but did enough to warrant its place on the card.
Next up was the main event,a match with no title on line,just reputation,the rock,a wwe legend against the wcw legend who had just joined the company,goldberg.If vince mcmahon had known that goldberg would only stay a year he may well have never allowed him the liberties he did but he wasnt to know,the rock,meanwhile was in and out of the wwe at this time as he was working in hollywood and after this event he was gone again,leading to his eventual forever goodbye,the crowd still hated him for leaving the company but while they had him here he got some cheers as did goldberg.The match was good without being great,the rock wasnt at his best while goldberg was ruthless when it counted,one reign would end and one would begin was essentially how this match would be deemed so the outcome shouldnt shock but on the dvd extras you get to see what happened after the event ended on television when the rock picked himself up,grabbed the mic and spoke of his thanks to all the fans and made a few jokes and won the crowd over,almost getting a blessing,this was an excellent,very real moment that makes this dvd worthwhile as not many may have seen that,a 3.5 out of 5 dvd then.
NOT THE BEST BUT IT WAS ALRIGHT.......2007-10-09
This wasn't the best PPV of course but it was still okay in my opinion
FIRST MATCH- SHELTON BENJAMIN & CHARLIE HAAS VS. LOS GUERREROS {EDDIE & CHAVO GUERRERO} FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Nice long tag team match to start the Backlash PPV. Great athletic abilities by Benjamin & Haas & great mind games by Chavo & Eddie. Benjamin & Haas win the hard fought tag team match to retain their WWE Tag Team Championship. After the match Eddie & Chavo steal the Tag Team titles & run backstage. 5/10
SECOND MATCH- BIG SHOW VS. REY MYSTERIO Just a squash, nothing special. Big Show wins after a Chokeslam on Mysterio for the win. After the match Mysterio is badly hurt & can't breathe {Because Big Show seriously hurt him during the match}. Suddenly Big Show returns & while Mysterio is on a stretcher, Big Show grabs the stretcher & slams it against the ring post with Mysterio still on it adding more injury to Mysterio. 2/10
THIRD MATCH- JAZZ W/ THEODORE LONG VS. TRISH STRATUS FOR THE WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP Not a bad match but it was still pretty boring at some times. Theodore Long tries to interfere at some times, Jazz gets the win after what looks like a Gory Powerbomb sort of move. 3/10
FOURTH MATCH- SEAN 'O' HAIRE W/ ROWDY RODDY PIPER VS. RIKISHI Not a bad brawl from these two men but when did Sean 'O' Haire & Roddy Piper form an alliance together. Anyways Sean 'O' Haire gets the win after a finishing move {Which looks like an F-U but you toss them backwards from your shoulders}. 3/10
FIFTH MATCH- ROB VAN DAM & KANE VS. DUDLEY BOYS FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: CHIEF MORLIEY {VAL VENIS} Just like the Smackdown tag team match earlier in the night. It was long & it was a bit more good adding Val Venis as the referee. Val as the referee tries to help the Dudley Boys after low blowing Kane but to no avail gets Chokeslammed by Kane for his troubles. Kane & RVD win after a Chokeslam, followed by a Five Star Frog Splash on D-Von {Another referee came to the match} to retain their World Tag Team titles. 5/10
SIXTH MATCH- TRIPLE H, CHRIS JERICHO & RIC FLAIR VS. SHAWN MICHAELS, KEVIN NASH & BOOKER T IN A 6-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH Good 6-man tag team match with all 6 men seriously taking it to each other. After the referee tries to take care of the match by taking Jericho, Booker, Flair & Michaels out of the ring. Behind the referee HHH nails Nash with the Sledgehammer for the 3 count & to get the win. 5/10
SEVENTH MATCH- BROCK LESNAR VS. JOHN CENA FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP A good Smakdown Main Event match of the night. During the match Cena makes Lesnar's head busted open which Cena tries to take advantage. But Lesnar fights his way back & nails an F-5 on Cena for the win & to retain his WWE Championship. 5/10
EIGHT MATCH- ROCK VS. GOLDBERG It is great to see Goldberg come back. Goldberg gets the great win against Rock after a Spear followed by a Jackhammer to get the win. 3/10
This wasn't really a bad PPV, it was actually good. The Raw & Smackdown tag team matches were excellent & the Smackdown Main Event between Cena & Lesnar was very good as well. All in all this was a good Raw, Smackdown joint PPV.
WrestleMania Aftermath is here.......2007-02-04
WWE Tag Team Title Match
Team Angle (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas) vs Los Guerreros (Eddie and Chavo Guerrero) 7/10
A good and decent tag team match, Eddie is great and the ending is pretty funny as well.
SmackDown Match
Rikishi vs Sean O'Haire 3/10
This match is stupid, boring and pointless.
World Tag Team Title Match
Rob Van Dam and Kane vs The Dudley Boyz: Guest Referee Chief Morley 7/10
Another good tag match started off slow but really picked up near the end.
Women's Title Match
Trish Stratus vs Jazz 3/10
Your typical women's match you can see this on nearly every episode of Raw.
SmackDown Match
Big Show vs Rey Mysterio 5/10
The winner is predictable 500lb vs 175lb so I will give it something because it is a very unique match up. The ending was horrific.
WWE World Title Match
John Cena vs Brock Lesnar 6/10
This was alright but could have been a lot better, but John Cena will be a great superstar.
6 Man Tag Team RAW Match
Triple H, Ric Flair, Chris Jericho vs Kevin Nash, Booker T and Shawn Michaels 8/10
One of the better matches on the card but nothing to great.
RAW Match
The Rock vs Goldberg 8/10
This match is enjoyable to watch because we see Goldberg make his in ring return and The Rock is pretty funny as well.
This is a poor attempt at a WrestleMania aftermath and WrestleMania 19 has greatly overshadowed this card.
Jonnos Backlash review.......2005-01-05
Great pay per view matches are as follows
1. Rey Mysterio vs Big Show 9/10 A great match, shame how it ended though.
2. Rikishi vs Sean 'o' Haire 6/10 The match itself was not great but in, but it was good to see Rikishi get some redemption over Piper though.
3. Womans title match 2/10 Nothing to say.
4.World tag team title match 9/10 A lot better than I expected a great proformance from both teams.
5.Wwe tag team title match 5/10 Ok I guess.
6.Six man tag match Nash,Hbk,Bookervs HHH,Jericho,Flair 9/10 Started slow but soon picked up.
7. WWE Championship Cena vs Lesnar 10/10 Match of the night a heroic effort by both men.
8. The Rock vs Goldberg 10/10 Amatch for the ages with Goldberg coming out on top but the match of the night was still Lesnar and Cena.
This event is definatley worth buying a pay per view for the ages.
IF A PROPER FAN THIS IS THE ONE FOR YOU.......2003-12-30
LET ME START BY SAYING THAT THE ONLY GOOD MATCH OF THE NIGHT WAS THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP WHICH I GIVE 5 STARS BUT THE BAD THING WAS EVERYTHING ELSE WAS TOO PREDICTABLE THIS MADE IT BORING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF WORLD TAG MATCH AND THE WWE CHAMP MATCH. THE MOST BORING FIGHT WAS THE ROCK VS GOLDBERG BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS GREAT YOU GOT TO SEE GOLDBERG AFTER 2 YEARS BUT THERE WAS NO PLOT YOU KNEW HE WAS GOING TO PULVERIZE THE ROCK JUST LIKE IN WCW
WELL IN ALL THIS PPV CAN BE SEEN FROM TWO ANGLES
IF YOU LIKE THIS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT 3/5
IF YOU ARE A REAL FAN 5/5
