DVD Reviews of WWE - McMahon
DVD Review: A Very Fair View Of The Boss
Summary: 3 Stars
I know I'm around a year late reviewing this but to be honest, I wasn't interested in this because I thought it would be a DVD version of his "Kiss My Ass" club but I was actually suprized as this was a fair look at both Vince McMahon & his "Mr. McMahon" character in that it openly shows people critizing moves & mistakes he's made in the past along with highlight certain aspects that people heavily forget about when talking about Vince McMahon.
The documentry stars off by talking about the story behind how he became the lead announcer for the WWE. His beginnings of taking WWE national & buying out the local territories is also covered with comments from Greg Gagne about the meeting they had about buying the AWA at one point. The story behind WWE buying Georgia Championship Wrestling & having WWE wrestling on TBS only to lead to a lawsuit with Ted Turner & the deal eventually ending starting the war between Vince & Ted that included losing various WWE talents to WCW like Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall & Kevin "Diesel" Nash. People's assumption of when the Mr. McMahon character began was the next topic of conversation covering his television transition from being the announcer to his real life character of being the owner. The "Survivor Series" screwjob is talked about next & how the heat from that incident helped his character take off. The Steve Austin fued was next with various superstars talking about their favorite moments from it along with highlights & looking back at their infamous cage match. Mr. McMahon's in-ring style is heavy discussed & is a very comedic part of this DVD as everyone just tells the truth in that he's not good in the ring but he knows how to fall down & make it look funny with Triple H going as far as saying "He thinks he's Lou Thesz." The story behind WWE becoming a publicly traded company on the New York stock exchange along WWE's charity work with various companies like Make-A-Wish is also discussed. Here was one of the most shocking parts of the DVD where they talked about the XFL with Joey Styles being very blunt on why the XFL was blasted by the media by incorporating WWE elements into the product (The Rock being the first thing they saw on the first show) & having their cheerleaders acting like strippers instead of traditional cheerleaders. The Bob Costas interview Vince did was discussed before they went into a discussion about the "Katie Vick" incident where The Rock & Joey Styles were very blunt in saying that it was stupid & so over the top that it wasn't funny while Vince says he enjoyed it. Vince's relationship with his family on & off screen is heavily discussed here as the story behind Triple H & Stephanie getting together is finally revealed while the story behind Vince & Linda meeting at church. The Mr. McMahon character's relationship on screen with the divas is talked about with Trish Stratus giving her thoughts on the angle between her & Vince including the time he frenched kiss her infront of Linda on SmackDown. The next conversation was a real highlight here as people from Jerry Lawler to Dusty Rhodes give their opinions on Vince buying WCW & the negative effect it's had on the business since there isn't any more competition. Now what would a Vince McMahon DVD be without talking about the "Kiss My Ass" club as that's briefly talked about before moving on with talk about the brand extention & various talents thoughts on how it's developing & if it's working. The story behind Steve Austin's walkout of the company in 2002 was also talked about before the topic of conversation moved over to the story behind Vince McMahon hiring Eric Bischoff & why he did it. The WM19 fued between Hogan & Vince along with his fued with Zach Gowen are discussed before they show highlights of Vince going into the Madison Square Garden Hall Of Fame. The "behind the scenes" story of the No Mercy match between Stephanie & Vince that happened less than a week from her wedding (and wanting to put that on PPV) is discussed by all the family involved before Stephanie revealed storylines that her dad suggested revolving about her baby that she turned down...and boy, you could understand why after hearing them. The story behind his quad injury at the 2005 Royal Rumble, his "your fired" catchphrase with Matt Hardy & HBK & Sgt. Slaughter telling stories of how they were fired from the company at one point, Vince McMahon showing support to the troops, his life as a grandfather & turning 60, along with his fued with HBK & the precious Muscle & Fitness magazine cover round out the documentry.
DVD extras include interview outtakes such as various talent talking about & imitating the Mr. McMahon walk, Big Show talking about a prank he thought Vince pulled on him during the Iraq trip with a hidden extra of Triple H confirming that Vince pulled the joke on Show, William Regal talking about how Vince took care of him when he had his drug problem, the story behind Vince's motorcycle accident in 1999 that caused him to be on crutches & a wheelchair for several weeks, a funny story where Triple H talks about how competitive Vince is, how Vince is able to convince people to go with his vision of what he wants, and how Stephanie wants people to remember her dad. Other extras include the infamous performance of "Stand Back" from the Slammy Awards, his first ever "match" against Steve Austin from RAW '98 where Dude Love returned, the highlight video of Vince training for the 1999 Rumble with hidden outtakes of him trying to catch a chicken.
Matches Include:
Steel Cage Match vs. Steve Austin - To summerize this one is in a nutshell, this is the defination of "Opening A Can Of Whoop-Ass" on someone because Austin just beat the hell out of Vince from making him bleed, tossing him into the cage, having him fall off the cage through the announce table...wow, it was amazing to see Vince himself take the type of punishment at that time.
IYH: St. Valentine's Day Massacre '99
Ladder Match w/Shane McMahon vs. Steve Austin - If your looking for a quality match that you would see from people the likes of Edge, Jeff Hardy, or Chris Jericho then your going to get that here. The object to grab off the ladder here was a briefcase containing the paperwork for the C.E.O. position & 50% ownership of the company that was given to Austin after Linda & Stephanie found out that Vince & Shane was the Undertaker's "higher power" who was tourturing Stephanie for months. This was absolutely a comedy match as you just had some entertaining spots that you just had to sit back & laugh at.
King Of The Ring '99
No Holds Barred Match vs. Triple H - This is Vince McMahon's best match ever. Yeah, this match is better than Vince's matches with Austin, Hogan, and Rock. They go all over the arena in this hardcore brawl even out to the parking lot & Mankind showing up to help Vince out at one point. The ending was something of a shocker at the time & this set up the McMahon-Helsmley era.
Armageddon '99
("Triple H: That Damn Good")
Street Fight Match w/special referee Mick Foley vs. Shane McMahon - Before the match gets started, the forshadowing of events to come took place as Shane McMahon introduced some of the WCW stars to the arena to complete silence & it should also be noted that Stephanie McMahon was in Vince's corner for this match. This fight started off with a bang as Vince took the fight to Shane while beating him with weapons such as metal signs, a monitor & choking him with the cable cords. This evolved into one of the wildest matches you've ever seen just by how many twist & turns kept happening from the appearence of Trish Stratus & the fight with Stephanie, the involvement of Linda McMahon & Mick Foley along with Shane's finishing move that was never seen before in WWE (but seen before in a more "extreme" enviroment). This was a street fight that had no right to be as good as it was.
WrestleMania XVII
Street Fight Match vs. Ric Flair - The storyline at this time was that both men were co-owners of the company and they just couldn't get along with anymore...and it should be noted that this was Flair's first wrestling match since his return to WWE months earlier in his old WCW/NWA stomping grounds of Atlanta. Vince overpowered & dominated Flair in the early moments. It was when Vince had busted him open that Flair just snapped & made his comeback. They used monitors & steel pipes while having their moments at ringside with Flair's daughter's camera. This was a good entertaining match.
Royal Rumble '02
Street Fight Match vs. Hulk Hogan - This match wasn't really great but it was good to just sit back & watch. Hogan was really broken down at this point & McMahon isn't that good of a wrestler but knows how to take a beating & sell it good. This had it's moments like when the ladder got involved along with the visual of a bloody Vince McMahon slowing rising above the ring apron that Triple H later described as "he looked like the devil himself."
WrestleMania XIX
("Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology")
I Quit Match vs. Stephanie McMahon - If you take one thing into concideration, this match isn't as bad as you think as it was revealed on the McMahon DVD was that Stephanie was getting married in less than a week from this match so they went light so she didn't have a bruse or scratch on her. This was a better "sports entertainment" match than a wrestling match.
No Mercy '03
Buried Alive Match vs. Undertaker - To summerize, McMahon is just spilling blood...after the first punch in less than a minute & takes a non-stop beating here until Kane comes to his aid in the end and buries Undertaker alive.
Survivor Series '03
("Tombstone: History Of The Undertaker")
Overall, this DVD was a fair view of both Vince McMahon & his character of Mr. McMahon. The only faults are that they didn't focus enough on the past as we didn't hear anything or really go indept about the early days of the WWF such as the story behind the first WrestleMania, the first run of Hulkamania, the steriod trial that almost put him in jail, and the WBF (which they advertised on the DVD commercial). This product is a year old so those who wanted to check this out have already had the chance but if you haven't yet, it's worth a look.
