WWE: The Top 25 Rivalries in Wrestling History



The Greatest Feuds Of All Time?
Storyline, feud, conflict...whatever you want to call it, it's best known as a rivalry and it's the one thing that draws money & attention more than anything in any type of sport or entertainment and there have been a countless number of them in the history of wrestling & WWE gives you their opinion on what are the greatest rivalries of all time. I won't give away the list for those who don't want to be spoiled (it's listed on another review) but I can tell you that WWE's newest reporter Renee Young host this DVD using a theme of chemistry (complete with wearing a lab coat) & being no different than previous countdown sets where each one is showcased through archival footage & one person speaking on the rivalry as either a fan or a third party such as "Road Dogg" Jesse James, Shane Douglas, Vickie Guerrero, Mick Foley, Ted Dibiase Jr., Paul Heyman, Bret Hart, Cody Rhodes, Gene Okerland, Jerry Lawler, Joey Styles, Michael Hayes, Billy Gunn, Lita, C.M. Punk, Dusty Rhodes, William...

Entertaining, If Flawed, Release from WWE
I'm a collector of WWE dvds so I picked up "The 25 Greatest Rivalries in Wrestling History" without hesitation, but with somewhat low expectations. A lot of the bonus matches had been released (although with mentions to the "WWF" edited out) on other compliation sets and I assumed the documentary would quickly skim through each feud and we would get stars like Santino or Brodus Clay making bad jokes throughout the feature. However, I was surprised and highly impressed with the quality of the main program.

Each feud is discussed by a different wrestling personality who was not directly involved in the feud, but is able to add a unique perspective to each rivalry. For instance, Shane Douglas discusses the Taz/Sabu feud and Vince Russo talks about the Austin/McMahon rivalry. I felt this was a cool way for WWE to go with this feature. Each rivalry gets between 6 - 10 minutes if disection and each commentator provides different types of insight. You'll hear backstage stories...
