Backstage, the Giant is confronted by police and Doug Dellinger and handed a PIECE OF PAPER~! Is it a warrant? Is it a restraining order? What’s going on?!
Michael Buffer asks us if we are ready to rumble. Indeed, we are. NITRO GIRLS! It always seems like Fyre is in the back of these dance routines. Not cool.

WWE: John Cena – My Life DVD
WWE – John Cena: My Life
Released: 11/13/07
Three-Disc Set
You may be asking yourself: Matt, why didn’t you start with the first John Cena DVD that had the padlock on the cover, or at least the superior John Cena Experience set? Well, I wouldn’t read too much into it if I were you. I was in Wal-Mart the other day and saw this one for $5. Couldn’t really beat that. So yeah, this is only happening because of an impulse buy.

ECW: Unreleased Vol. 2
ECW: Unreleased Vol. 2
Released: July 30, 2013
This review is for the 3-disc DVD version, not the 2-disc blu-ray that contains some extra matches.
Joey Styles and Tommy Dreamer are your hosts. They show up every three matches or so, and they basically put people over and don’t take anything too seriously. There are some bits of footage here and there while they talk, which adds a nice touch. Also, many of these matches are proceeded by the full promos that went along with them when they originally aired, so that’s cool too. Read the rest of this entry
The Shawn Michaels Mixtape (Part One)
Since I’m trying to keep this mainly about Shawn’s singles run, you’ll find the Rockers era completely left out. There’s a handful of tags, but most of them just accentuate a feud he might be involved in at the time. Even if I did leave in the Rockers era, I can’t think of any hidden gems that I haven’t already recapped from their time in the WWF, for sure. I’m sure there’s an AWA match with Buddy Rose and Doug Somers I haven’t seen like the one from WrestleRock, but I’ve done the three main ones – the bloodbath, a cage match, and the title switch. I’ve recapped all three of Shawn’s DVD sets, which took care of a lot of his matches, so what you’ll see here is what’s left. Read the rest of this entry
