DVD REVIEW:

If you are a WWF wrestling fan, this DVD is awesome!  Many people have their own opinions and impressions of what they thought of “Wrestlemania 2000”.   So, I’m not going to go there.

What I will talk about is the DVD itself.  Aside from the good quality and great audio, the reason to buy this is because it’s jam-packed.  I actually watched several hours of it (not the en Espanol version, because I don’t understand Spanish).  But it’s one thing to watch Wrestlemania but it’s something else when you get another DVD featuring all the Wrestlemania’s (the good parts, the main matches).  To see the Intercontinental Match between  Ricky the Dragon Steamboat vs. Macho Man was awesome!  To see the match between Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior.  The fact that you will see the past wrestling greats and ever wondered if you would see them on DVD, it’s just a blast.  The second DVD will keep you busy if you love to see all the previous Wrestlemania’s up to 1999.  Also, to hear other WWF stars comment on their favorite matches was pretty cool.  To re-see all the matches such as the bloody Bret Hart and Steve Austin match.  Or the Sean Michaels vs. Bret Hart match.  Simply awesome!

The first DVD, is of course, the latest “Wrestlemania” (April 2000) and to see the extra footage was pretty cool!  But it doesn’t stop there.  You get to hear the three commentary from Jericho, Angle and Benoit on the two-fall Triple Threat Match.  That was awesome!

In my last review, I said the Rock’s latest DVD was the best available but I have to give this DVD it’s respect, not so much for the latest Wrestlemania but for that second DVD.  That’s not just paying respect to the past events of Wrestlemania but paying respect for the fans and giving more for your buck.  This DVD is awesome!

Now, they just have to make sure they keep it going with upcoming DVD’s.  The more special features, the better!

THE DVD EXTRAS:  A+
THE DVD OVERALL:  A+
