The Monday Night War DVD Review

The Monday Night War DVD Review






A DVD released almost ten years ago . A few things here seem repeated but that's only because they use the Bischoff footage for just about every WCW DVD they release . The first half hour of the feature is mostly about the rise of WCW , culminating with Hogan's heel turn and the nWo . After that they talk about the rise of Austin , The Rock , the Montreal Screwjob and the ratings increase for the WWE . The only thing I don't like about the documentary is the bias . WCW is really criticised as the feature goes on , and nothing bad iis ever really said about the WWE . The documentary is still very entertaining though and I enjoyed it . Definitely worth a watch .  8/10



Matches :



Stone Cold & Shawn Michaels vs British Bulldog & Owen Hart
This is known as one of the best matches in Raw history and for good reason . The match is just non-stop action with amazing pacing . Just a fantastic match that is worth watching again and again . Austin pins Bulldog to win the tag titles . ****1/4



DX vs Legion of Doom
I'm not sure of the reasoning for this match to be on the DVD . DX were trying to work a comedy match , while LOD were trying to work a wrestling match . DX are DQ'd to end the match . *1/4



Chris Benoit vs Booker T
This was their fourth match in their best of seven series for a chance at the World TV Title . This match wasn't as good as I thought it would be , but it was still pretty entertaining . Benoit makes Booker tap to the crossface to go 3-1 . **1/4



Goldberg vs Hulk Hogan
I still can't believe this wasn't a PPV match . You had the undefeated Goldberg going against Hogan for the championship in front of a hometown crowd of 40,000 . They could have made a lot of money out of this one . Goldberg hits the jackhammer to a huge pop from the crowd . Great moment . **1/2



6.5/10 . Nice DVD . The main feature is great , but the extras leave something to be desired . I think this one could use a 3 Disc DVD Set makeover .
